Megan Mansfield PsyD

You've mastered the art of looking like you have it all together, but you're secretly fighting to keep intrusive memories from sending you into a spiral. All they see is the person who holds it all together, but only you know about the 2 a.m. anxiety freak outs and the way your body still braces as if something terrible could happen again at any moment. You second-guess yourself, blame yourself for things that were never your fault, and wonder why you can't simply move on. Deep down, you know you can't keep living like this, but fear runs the show. "Why didn't I do more? What if it happens again? Will I ever feel like myself ?" I get it. Hi there. I’m Dr Megan (she/her), Founder of Ash & Blooms and Clinical Psychologist in Pasadena, California. I’m Internal Family Systems-Certified and have over a decade of experience helping women and queer adults overcome anxiety, sexual trauma, and childhood trauma so that they feel a deep inner knowing of their worthiness. As a bi woman and survivor myself, I understand the courage it takes to move from victim to survivor, the vulnerability of embracing authenticity, and the profound growth that occurs when we face our pain with compassion. During therapy, I'm actively engaged in helping you. Grounded in IFS, somatic therapy, and the empowerment model, we’ll go beyond talk therapy to work directly with your nervous system where your wounds are stored. You'll feel like you're doing deep, challenging work with a caring and confident guide who is genuinely on your side. I'm not a blank slate. I'll call you out, with compassion, of course, as needed. I'll curse with you, reference memes, and meet you as a whole person, but never lose sight of the fact that we're together to do sacred work. After our work together, you'll feel grounded in your body, confident in your decisions, and finally able to trust yourself and others without constant fear or second-guessing. You'll move through life with clarity and more ease instead of hypervigilance and overwhelm. That's what's possible when we heal trauma at its root — you reclaim your power, your peace, and your life. You’re just a step away. Schedule your complimentary consultation today.
