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?

Each individual is unique and I understand that. One-size-fits-all approaches will never help you reach full potential. You are one-of-a-kind and together we embrace your challenges and seek the best ways to navigate and move toward a healthier and happier version of you. I am trained in a wide variety of theoretical models and intervention techniques to help facilitate your becoming the best version of yourself. I am passionate about helping people identify the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that keep them from living to their fullest. Together we implement evidence based approaches based on the goals and uniqueness of you. I utilize psychotherapy, mindfulness, sport & performance skills, neurofeedback, expressive arts therapy and equine assisted psychotherapy. You don’t have to feel the same tomorrow as you do today. There are many ways in which less than ideal patterns can be changed. Find a path to a better you, no matter your age, background or history – there’s opportunity for a better you!
