Empowering Your Journey from Trauma to Wholeness
Sometimes the weight of what we carry—trauma, grief, anxiety—lives beyond words. Traditional talk therapy has its place, but when healing needs to reach deeper, into the body and nervous system where difficult experiences are stored, a different approach helps.
I'm Megan Gredesky, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in brain-body therapies that create lasting change. Whether you're processing trauma, navigating grief, or facing the emotional complexity of infertility, I offer a warm, grounded space where healing can unfold at its own pace.
For over 9 years, I've served Oakland and Bay Area communities with approaches that honor both the science of neurobiology and the deeply personal nature of healing. As a Certified Brainspotting Therapist and Grief Recovery Specialist, I help empaths, highly sensitive people, artists, and anyone struggling with overwhelming emotions find their way back to wholeness.
My unique background—an MFA in Theatre combined with training in Expansion Brainspotting—allows me to work with actors, performers, and artists who want to overcome creative blocks and rediscover their flow state. I also provide psychological assessments for California fertility clinics, supporting individuals and couples on alternative family-building paths.
Your healing journey deserves a path that meets you where you are. Let's walk it together.

You Have What You Need to Heal
Healing isn't something I do to you—it's something that unfolds naturally when you're given the right support and conditions.
My role is to provide that space. A place where you can access your innate capacity for growth, resilience, and transformation.
