Meghan Edwardson
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist

I believe strongly that my relationship with my clients is what creates a sense of safety and a space for change. Through client-centered therapy, it is my hope to assist you in the process of identifying your strengths, healing from past trauma, expanding self-awareness and efficacy, regulating emotions, and increasing capacity for connection. I look forward to meeting with you! 

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in Redding, CA. I obtained a B.A. in Psychology at Simpson University and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology at National University. I have lived close to half my life here with my husband of 21 years, 2 amazing kids (one of whom we adopted) and 6 hairy pets.  I love sunshine and houseplants, vacationing anywhere by a beach, coaching HS varsity volleyball, and my church community on Sundays.
