How Dr. Shepard
can help
I'm Meredith Shepard, Ph.D.
I am a Yale scholar turned trauma coach, a mother, and a PTSD survivor. My work is with healing all types of traumas, including assault, abuse, incest, genocide, childbirth, illness, and complex parenting, as well as attachment wounds. I use science-backed methods proven to work swiftly and effectively: Brainspotting & EMDR, Cognitive Processing, and Internal Family Systems.
I approach my client's story with a combination of fierce wisdom and cavernous humility. I respect all parts of you--even the dark and destructive ones. I am infinitely curious to hear what all the parts of you are experiencing. I believe in post-traumatic growth, and I help my clients find a path to flourishing that transmutes their past pain into meaning and purpose.
My background in narrative analysis (my Ph.D. is in the literature of trauma and recovery) means that I never forget the truth behind every story: that it is infinitely changeable. If you are here, your story has probably not finished being written.

What Clients
Say
The trust my clients place in me is something I never take for granted. Here's what some of them have shared about our work together.
"In a nutshell, I feel like
my past trauma no longer
dictates my future."
"She strikes the perfect balance between creating a safe and inviting space, while asking exactly the right questions to challenge you."
Over the years anxiety and stress - and some traumatic events - slowly crept up without my really recognizing how debilitating it was. Eventually I (and my family) noticed I was limiting my enjoyment of life (to put it mildly). I found it difficult to be comfortable in my own body. I experienced a lot of self-doubt, fear of the unknown, and anxiety about the future.
Then I enrolled in Dr Meredith Shepard’s PTSD Recovery workshop. From the first session I felt a sense of relief and comfort that felt new — and very welcome. Dr Shepard guided me in the most gentle and positive process, uncovering experiences that had been holding me back and exploring new, healthier ways to feel.
By the end I felt quite differently about myself and the world. I felt much more comfortable in my body, more able to accept the unknown, and much calmer about the future. With Dr Shepard’s help I came up with an image of myself that has helped me to keep this feeling alive.
Update: It has now been a year since I took this workshop and I feel so grateful I was able to work with Dr Shepard. She made all of this so easy, almost enjoyable, and so transformational. I have made some very healthy changes - I have opened myself up to new friends and a stronger relationship with my spouse. I don't fear the dark, or the future, and I feel more able to express myself with gentle firmness when I disagree with someone else. In a nutshell, I feel like my past trauma no longer dictates my future.

"Dr. Shepard is simply the best at what she does, period. She strikes the perfect balance between creating a safe and inviting space, while asking exactly the right questions to challenge you. She is fiercely intelligent and clearly a very kind and thoughtful person. I also think that her background in narrative analysis brings a useful and unique lens to her practice. I would highly recommend for anyone who is able to get a slot."

"I feel connected to myself again in a way that makes me feel whole and safe."
When I worked with Meredith I found a reflection of myself. I don't mean this in narcissistic terms. I mean this in, I found a person with whom a powerful mirror is shown, her deep authenticity, presence and skills in listening would help me to hear my own thoughts and wisdom reflected back to me in a way that I wasn't hearing, coupled with real tools, skills and evidence based strategies that were new to me to interrupt patterns of fear, blame and shame that can be so endemic to someone living with a PTSD diagnosis.
Before, I didn't feel I could be who I was before, and I felt a shell of my former self. Today, I feel so strongly reconnected back into my own inner light, the part of me I so strongly have anchored from, and am able to, again, root and soar from. I feel connected to myself again in a way that makes me feel whole and safe. I feel welcome within myself again, and I thank the powerful attentiveness and reflective conversations that I have had with Meredith.
