My Approach to therapy

Hi! I’m happy you’re here! My name is Meagan Shepperd. I am currently in my last year of graduate school at West Texas A&M University as I will graduate Spring 2025.

My main goal as a therapist is to help others become the best versions of themselves. I have a very optimistic mindset with my approach being open-minded, empathetic, and caring. Ensuring comfortability and safety is a priority in my approach. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a very important aspect of therapy in order for clients to receive the most effective therapy for themselves. Some theories and skills I could use would be person-centered theory, cognitive behavioral theory, rational emotive behavior theory, positive psychology techniques, challenging skills, validation/reflection skills, and mindfulness. With this internship, I am looking to grow within myself and also hoping to gain as much knowledge as I can in order to be the best and most effective therapist I can be.

Personal

I was born and raised here in the beautiful Austin, Texas. I have loved living here my whole life and it is definitely home to me. I was a cheerleader from kindergarten to my senior year in high school with my younger sister who I am very close with. I love going to concerts, all things Bachelor Nation, cooking and baking, trying new restaurants, true crime podcasts, traveling, reading, being outside, and spending time with my family and friends!
