About Meagen
Meagen Short is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who focuses on practical, evidence-based work. She emphasizes straightforward approaches to help people handle anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem struggles. Meagen speaks English and Spanish and bases her practice in New Mexico.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using clear tools to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Meagen adapts other evidence-based techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused so progress is measurable.
Meagen has seven years of clinical experience across settings like independent practice, early intervention, behavioral health, and community mental health. That range informs her work with parenting concerns, relationship problems, and life transitions like postpartum adjustment and immigration-related stress. She brings a practical mindset to grief, trauma, anger, and bipolar-related coping as well.
In the therapy room she prioritizes listening without judgment and building on strengths. She offers short-term skills work as well as support for longer, deeper issues depending on what someone needs. Meagen helps people develop concrete strategies for emotional regulation and healthier interaction patterns.
To begin, she invites potential clients to describe what feels hardest and what goals matter most. From there she and the client set clear steps and review progress over time.
