Dr. Meghan Fuller

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and psychological assessment to children, adolescents, and adults.

I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, an MA from the New School for Social Research, and a BA from Sarah Lawrence College. I completed postdoctoral training at the Access Institute for Psychological Services in San Francisco, where I now serve as Supervising Faculty. My professional development also includes advanced training through the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis.

I am a Fellow of the American Psychoanalytic Association and a Fellow of the Anna Freud Centre Research Training Program at the Yale Child Study Center. These experiences have shaped my clinical sensibility and deepened my interest in careful assessment, long-term treatment, and the use of the therapeutic relationship as a central agent of change.

In my private practice, I work with individuals across the lifespan who are struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, and the enduring effects of early experiences.

I am an active member of the American Psychoanalytic Association, the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, and the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology.

My work is grounded in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches, with careful attention to development, attachment, trauma, and the complexity of each individual’s inner life. I aim to offer a collaborative, reflective, and emotionally attuned therapeutic space in which patients can better understand themselves, develop greater flexibility, and experience meaningful psychological change.

I support children, adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress management challenges, including panic disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and sleep disorders. I work with individuals experiencing grief and bereavement, end of life issues, infertility, chronic conditions such as diabetes, and other health-related disabilities that impact emotional well-being. My practice also supports clients living with bipolar disorder (also known as manic depressive illness), attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD), eating disorders, alcohol and substance abuse concerns, anger management and impulse control difficulties, and complex family or relationship issues.

I provide affirming care around identity development, cultural and ethnic issues, women’s issues, men’s issues, maternal mental health including prepartum and postpartum transitions, and LGBTQ+ concerns, including support for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals. Whether you are navigating major life transitions, managing chronic stress, or working through long-standing patterns, therapy can be a space to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward greater stability and self-understanding.

When someone new comes to me, I set up an initial 3 session consultation. This gives me a chance to gather information and develop an understanding of the problems you are bringing to therapy and how I can be helpful. It also gives you a chance to see how you like talking with me and ask me any questions you may have. In the third session, I will share my understanding and recommendation for treatment with you.
