I’m Meaghan, and I want to help you have the pleasurable relationships and sex you want.
No rainbows, glitter, or unicorns…
Facing the challenges of relationships and sex are scary. What if you really are a problem and there isn’t hope for a happy ending (pun potentially intended)? Talking honestly and frankly about things that you avoid or embarrassed about is daunting.
You know you are not alone, but it sure does feel that way sometimes.
You crave healthy relationships, love, and sexual fulfillment that so many books write about. You’re not sure how to even begin. And being so honest with a therapist… That is a scary idea.
My name is Meaghan Leigh Gosling, and I am a counselor in Windsor, California (and a big fan of Sonoma County overall). I graduated from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, a Buddhist university that is an outlier in its own way. I am a therapist for who specializes in working with people who find themselves outside what they see in culture, whether it is in identity, relationship, or what you want to explore sexually. I am authentic and compassionate, and I am the active listener you have been craving.
I won’t tell you how to be happy.
I use humor, sarcasm, and curse like a sailor while we find your own version of happiness. I am really just me so you can really just be you. You will know this after our first session. I know the need is great for something different, and my goal is to help you find your inner wisdom to hear what that different is for you.
I highly value diversity and individuality. I want you to know that I am kink and sex positive. I work with LGBT individuals (and couples), gender fluid individuals, and trans individuals. I work with poly, whether it is the bold new frontier or what you have been living; if your a part of an established partnership or individual connecting with others. And these identities will never be the forefront of our work if you are looking for support for anxiety or depression. I also am video game positive, I know the value it contains and the benefits that are often overlooked. And occasionally my pup accompany me to the office.
The way I show up in the room is influenced by attachment work, CBT, parts work, mindfulness, and narrative therapy. When working with couples, I use Stan Tatkin’s PACT. More than anything, I meet you where you are at.
