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.

Client Feedback
"Before working with Meredith I was checking closets for intruders, avoiding leaving the house, and groveling to men. I'm now in a healthy relationship, traveling for fun with friends, and enjoying my retirement. I had spent decades in therapy before this. I only wish I had found Meredith sooner."
M.H., Seattle
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 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.
A.P., Palo Alto
After a few weeks of using Meredith for postpartum support, I fired my former therapist. Birth is one thing, but postpartum is the rest of your life changing. She made what I was going through make sense. Hers was the only voice of true sanity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of traumas do you work with?
I work with "capital-T" clinical PTSD as well as "lower-case-t" subclinical traumas. Some of the issues I commonly see include:Childhood abuse and neglect, Emotional abuse, Attachment wounds, Incest, Sexual violence, Immigration and racism, Genocide, Birth trauma, Medically complex children, Postpartum depression, Childhood wounds surfacing after becoming a parent, Narcissistic partner or parent.
How do I work with you?
The best route is to schedule a complimentary 30-minute consult below and see if it feels like the right fit for both of us.
Regular sessions are 75-minutes, and 60-minute slots are available by request. I'm available anywhere in the world via video. I operate on MT (Mountain Time Zone). I also work in person in Boulder & Gold Hill, Colorado.
I'm worried my trauma is too intense, or not intense enough!
Clients often ask if their story will be "too intense" or if they're "scaring" me. I began my career working with genocide survivors (and perpetrators) in Rwanda, so the answer is no: I'm not scared of you or of what you've gone through. You can bring whatever you are carrying and trust that it will be safe with me.
Other clients worry that what they're experiencing doesn't count as trauma. Even if your experience doesn't meet clinical criteria for PTSD, the trauma treatment modalities I use are helpful at restoring nervous system regulation, ridding your mind of shame and low self-esteem, and restoring connections with who and what you love.
Are you ready to heal?
The worst part of trauma is not what happened in the past but the grip it has on your present and future. With science-backed, compassionate support from Dr. Shepard, you can write your new story of a trauma-free life within 12 sessions.
