How does acceptance and commitment (ACT) work and how can it help?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you develop a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions rather than struggling to eliminate them. Instead of getting stuck in self-criticism, worry, or avoidance, you'll learn mindfulness and acceptance skills that allow you to respond more flexibly while staying connected to what matters most. Together, we identify your core values and take meaningful, achievable steps toward the life you want to live. ACT can be especially helpful for managing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions while building resilience, self-compassion, and a greater sense of purpose.
Being heard and understood is important. It’s difficult to trust your counselor or make progress if that's absent. All therapists have skills and knowledge, but who do you trust? I offer a free phone consult so you can gain a sense of who I am before committing to therapy. This is important work, which means you get to choose the best fit for you. Having worked as a therapist for almost 20 years now, I consistently receive feedback that I have a warm, calming presence. Therapy can be heavy; creativity, fun, and play are also important to healing. My style is compassionate & collaborative. I've worked extensively with busy professionals, especially in the medical and mental health fields. What makes you unique is that you are invested in self-improvement, balance, and connection. You are not here by mistake. We sometimes know what to do but need help taking steps and creating the safety to remove barriers. Then you have freedom to take charge of your life-go from surviving to thriving!

Psychologist, PhD
Online & In-PersonAccepting New Clients
I am Dr. Meghan Hammel, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PhD) dedicated to supporting women through life’s most pivotal transitions. With over 14 years of professional experience—including my tenure at the UC San Diego Health System—I specialize in providing high-quality, evidence-based therapy for clients in Arizona, California, and across more than 40 PSYPACT-participating states. My Specialized Approach to Therapy My clinical practice is centered on helping highly empathic young professionals and mothers navigate the pressures of modern life. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindful Self-Compassion to help you move from a state of constant reaction to one of intentional response. Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health: I offer expert support for women navigating pregnancy, postpartum depression, and the complex "fourth trimester" transition. Anxiety & Burnout: I help clients manage the cycle of worry and rumination, particularly those in high-stress medical and professional fields. Parenting & Attachment: As a provider experienced in the Circle of Security® Parenting™ program, I help parents build stronger emotional connections and manage the stress of early parenthood. Life Transitions: Whether you are dealing with career changes, relocation, or relationship shifts, I provide a structured, validating space to process these changes and align your actions with your core values. A Supportive Partnership I believe that therapy should be an interactive and collaborative journey. My goal is to create a non-judgmental environment where we can explore your emotions and identify actionable strategies to improve your daily life. By focusing on self-compassion and mindfulness, we work together to "fill your emotional cup" so you can live a life that feels authentic and balanced. Are you ready to share the additional resources or specific details you have so I can better tailor my responses to our conversation?
