I’m Meaghan, and I am a therapist for anyone who feels like they don’t fit in.
No rainbows, glitter, or unicorns…
Looking at the world around you, you aren’t sure where you fit in, or if you even fit in. It’s so lonely feeling so different. You don’t have the same dreams as you feel like you “should” or even what you see most of your loved ones wanting. You haven’t identified a relationship near you that inspires you to believe that healthy, nourishing relationships exist.
You know you are not alone, but it sure does feel that way sometimes.
You crave healthy relationships and the self love that so many books write about. You’re not sure how to even begin. And being so honest with a therapist… That is a scary idea.
My name is Meaghan Leigh Gosling, and I am a counselor in Windsor, California (and a big fan of Sonoma County overall). I graduated from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, a Buddhist university that is an outlier in its own way. I am a therapist for who specializes in working with people who find themselves outside what they see in culture, whether it is in identity, relationship, or just the future you see before you. I am authentic and compassionate, and I am the active listener you have been craving.
I won’t tell you how to be happy.
I use humor, sarcasm, and curse like a sailor while we find your own version of happiness. I am really just me so you can really just be you. You will know this after our first session. I know the need is great for something different, and my goal is to help you find your inner wisdom to hear what that different is for you.
I highly value diversity and individuality. I want you to know that I am kink and sex positive. I work with LGBT individuals (and couples), gender fluid individuals, and trans individuals. I work with poly, whether it is the bold new frontier or what you have been living. And these identities will never be the forefront of our work if you are looking for support for anxiety or depression. I also am video game positive, I know the value it contains and the benefits that are often overlooked. And occasionally my pups accompany me to the office.
The way I show up in the room is influenced by attachment work, CBT, parts work, mindfulness, and narrative therapy. When working with couples, I use Stan Tatkin’s PACT. More than anything, I meet you where you are at.
