Megan Curtis, LPCC

Megan Curtis is a licensed psychotherapist practicing in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and self esteem concerns. She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients recognize patterns, learn coping skills, and make small changes that add up. Megan writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

She trained in personality psychology, biopsychology, and human sexuality during her undergraduate studies, then continued with graduate work focused on clinical mental health and neuropsychology. That background informs a grounded, evidence-minded approach to therapy. Megan emphasizes psychoeducation and collaborative goal-setting so people know why certain techniques are being used and what to expect.

Megan favors a person-centered stance that treats clients as experts on their own lives. She guides people through practical exercises and conversations aimed at shifting thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Sessions are aimed at building skills people can use between meetings as well as talking through current problems.

A core tool in her work is cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that fuel depression, anxiety, and trauma responses. She integrates other evidence-based techniques as they fit the client’s needs.

Over six years of clinical work have shaped her calm, respectful style. Sessions focus on clear steps, real-life strategies, and steady support while people work toward better day-to-day functioning and stronger self esteem.
