Megan Negendank therapist in Sacramento

Hi, I’m Megan Negendank, LMFT, CST

We help our clients reconnect to what matters most – their relationships and values – so that they can lead a more fulfilling life.

I founded Love Heal Grow after I couldn’t find a quality therapist for my partner and myself.

I wanted a practice that made it easy for people like you to find a good therapist that meets your needs.

This work is important to me because I understand that deep, quality therapy not only changes our own lives, but the lives of everyone around us. And good therapy is hard to find.

We’ve been in business over a decade, and now we serve thousands of Californians a month.  We can’t wait to support you, too!

Premarital Counseling: Strong Foundation, Deep Connection, Lasting Love

You want to start your marriage with a deep connection and strong foundation.

When we’re planning for marriage, we want to set ourselves up with the skills and knowledge to be sure our relationship will last.

Maybe you’re worried because as much as you love each other, there are a couple of problems that tend to pop up and feel unsolvable.  Or maybe you’re worried about making the same relationship mistakes you saw your parents make when you were growing up.

Our couples therapists love supporting premarital couples.

 

 

LGBTQ+

Love

 

LGBTQIA+ Relationship Therapy: Allies & Queer Therapists at Love Heal Grow
 

Love Heal Grow Therapy Center is an LGBTQIA+ affirmative practice–you are embraced here.

Many of the leading relationship therapy methods do not include queer experience in their research or training methods.

We think that’s wrong.  Not to mention violent–you deserve a therapist who is challenging the systemic homophobia that is ingrained in the field of therapy.

Our therapists (some of whom identify as queer and some of whom practice allyship), do additional training to combat this bias in relationship therapy to make sure we are inclusive of all love experiences.  We can’t wait to support you and your partner(s).
