Hi! I'm happy you're here. My name is Meagan Shepperd, and I recently graduated from West Texas A&M University with my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’m passionate about supporting individuals of all ages through life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, or depression while helping to strengthen their emotional intelligence and develop a deeper self-understanding.
My main goal as a therapist is to help others become the best versions of themselves. I approach therapy with optimism, openness, empathy, and compassion. I place an emphasis on active listening and collaboration, allowing clients to feel deeply heard while we work together to explore their experiences and build meaningful change. Ensuring comfort and safety is always a priority, and I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for growth.
Depending on each client’s needs, I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), person-centered theory, positive psychology, mindfulness, play therapy, psychoeducation, and a variety of validation, reflection, and cognitive-challenging skills.
Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me exploring new coffee shops and restaurants in Austin, attending concerts, spending time with friends and family, listening to true crime podcasts, and traveling.
Schedule with Meagan starting the week of January 12, 2026 at our website below!
