FERAL THERAPY

For people who diverge from the norms

This is therapy that accepts you for who you are!

You do not have to pretend here.

Whether you are neurodivergent, eclectic, an artist, kinky, an activist or some other identity not mentioned here, you are welcome.

In fact, I fully support living your truth and living differently.

This is not therapy that encourages you to breathe through the discomfort in ways that deny the systemic harms. I care about your experience and hearing more about the wisdom you bring too.

Feral Therapy blends affirming trauma-informed, narrative, and somatic therapy to help you through the endings and new beginnings in life.

Compassionate care that meets you where you are.

Life transitions (divorce, career changes, college, middle age)

Relationships (couples, polycules, friends, family)

Discernment (figuring out if you want to stay together)

Financial stress (money trauma, money shame)

Trauma (workplace trauma, childhood trauma, specific life events)

Self-esteem and confidence

Executive Functioning

Exploring if Neurodivergence fits as an identity for you. I offer assessments to help you with diagnosis and support.

What I Can Help You With:

Healing the hard stuff through a creative,
trauma-sensitive process

Meet Dre

Hi! I'm Dre Meller [they/them], LMFT #163561
(Offering Virtual , Private Pay, Therapy in California)

I am so glad you are here!

I am a late-diagnosed AuDHDer, double Scorpio, Pisces Moon, artist, disruptor with crone energy that loves to swear. Sometimes in session we laugh together and sometimes we cry together. I appreciate holding space for you in a non-judgmental way so you can work through this adventure we call life.
I have been through a lot of hard things in life and it's an honor being a part of your healing journey, because I know first-hand how meaningful it is to have someone sit with you while you work things out. The most important thing for me as a therapist is to respect you as the expert in your life and collaborate WITH you.

Queer and Trans folx
