Fear that you really are the 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 can know that what you are doing isn’t working, and know that you don’t know how to do it different. Books and videos will only help so much. What you really need is someone looking over your shoulder calling out what you doing that isn’t going to get you what you want. My name is Meaghan Leigh Gosling, and I am a sex and relationship therapist. I am a therapist for who specializes in working with people couples and individuals who want know that things can be different and don’t know how to get there. Individuals and couples who are ready to work with a clinician that will interrupt and interject, not just validate and cheerlead. I am direct, with a compassionate intent. I want to help you change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60825b95e8d03f1f9d9d00b5/1621971186219-7Y60BVRZ9QHYPURHCNBQ/dogheadshot1.jpg About - I won’t tell you how to be happy. I am frank, genuine, and curse like a sailor. I will help you find your own version of happiness. I will interrupt you, ask direct questions, and question your thinking. My goal is to get you to hear your own inner wisdom without the layers of influence by other people’s ideas and beliefs. 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 am influenced by Stan Tatkin’s PACT. I interrupt fights, negative thought patterns, and behaviors that are in the way of you getting what you want. If you are ready to start embracing yourself and learning how to love yourself and others fully, contact me for a free consultation, 707.593.6333. Feel what it is like to work with a therapist who will reflect the support and caring you crave and model that love you can have for yourself. https://www.meaghanleighgosling.com/home daily 1.0 2026-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60825b95e8d03f1f9d9d00b5/1621970625817-S6TSASCVU7JWUN99T4ST/headshot2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60825b95e8d03f1f9d9d00b5/d3e6c018-bc0e-409d-9ce5-4f9130f2ed02/IMG_5466.jpeg Home Let’s do the work!

You’re also exhausted, disconnected, barely touching, and stuck in patterns that are killing intimacy and making both of you miserable. It hurts so much to be together, but you cannot imagine a life apart. My name is Meaghan and I help couples break out of conflict, rebuild emotional and sexual connection, and actually feel like partners again through direct, deeply engaged therapy that goes beyond nodding and “how did that make you feel?” This is not passive therapy. I will interrupt patterns, challenge avoidance, call out the bullshit that keeps you stuck, and help you say the things you’ve been circling around for years—without turning each other into the enemy. If you are ready to find the connection that was lost between you and your partner and put down the weapons you have been honing against each other for years, contact me for a free consultation, 707.593.6333 or click the button below. Find out what it is like when you find the way to speak to each other that brings you close together, creating an invitation for the lovers and friends you use to be. https://www.meaghanleighgosling.com/perimenopausalhell daily 0.75 2026-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60825b95e8d03f1f9d9d00b5/1750237449583-ZZR7GUNDH7AAYM8RSRDG/GettyImages-2164203344.jpg Perimenopausal Hell - Last night you died on a molehill, something you’ve done more times than you care to recount recently. Irritability is at an all time high, and you’re tired of living in it. In reality, you’re just tired. All the time. You’re doing the best you can to cope with the hot flashes and night sweats, the inconveniences on your digestive track (ug), but between the irritability and the impact on your sexual self, you’re losing your mind in this perimenopausal era. You remember being a kinder soul who enjoyed sex, but that part of yourself feels so hard to engage some days. Oh, and let’s not leave out the brainfog and forgetting words. Didn’t you use to be articulate? No wonder you are irritated all the time. It’s hard to recognize yourself sometimes. You have tried to talk to medical professionals, but feel as though they are more confused about what you’re going through than you are. You’ve had little to no help. Your mom, she’s tried in her own way, but she was never good at being fully honest about “awkward” experiences. Your friends are good supports, but they are often just as frustrated as you are; commiserating is soothing, but you need more than that. You need someone who has some answers and support that help open this black box of an experience you are going through. Is there a way for this journey to be less melancholy? I help women who are going through the, often, rough transition of perimenopause. On this journey I’m sure you’ve found that information and resources are limited, and our mothers are not good at giving meaningful information. This process is so much more than hot flashes and night sweats, and getting clarity on what exactly that means is a journey on its own. Getting older and moving towards the category of matron can be emotionally challenging, especially in our society that appears to value youth in the feminine over age. I cut through the bull honky and support you on whatever your perimenopausal experience is, with education, normalization, and commiseration. I am a professional who can support you on this journey, without romanticizing it or telling you how everything will be fine. I know it’s tough, and I want you to have the help you deserve. Set up a free 15 minute consultation, either by calling 707.593.6333 or clicking the button below. I want you to make peace with perimenopause and support your mental health. https://www.meaghanleighgosling.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-05-05 https://www.meaghanleighgosling.com/sextherapy daily 0.75 2026-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60825b95e8d03f1f9d9d00b5/1750975922101-A9UZG29FN4LAERCNYH7Y/unsplash-image-4S4hB8iFFoY.jpg Sex Therapy - Sex. Sex has become a minefield. Each of you is feeling less fulfilled and even less capable of speaking about what you want. Stress laden doesn’t begin to describe your experience. You and your partner keep trying, sometimes trying “harder” to make it work, but nothing is getting better.. Is it getting older? Is it the long term relationship? You feel as though you are asking for what you need. Your partner probably feels like they're the bad guy and can’t ever satisfy you. There’s probably at least 3 fantasies that each of you are afraid of sharing with one another. All you want to do is cum together like you used to, to feel that excitement sizzling between you, but now that feels like a fantasy. You want the pleasure you deserve! Neither of your bodies are working the way they did when you were first together. What used to be so natural is now an obstacle. Talking about it only seems to make it worse and frustrates both of you. No one is happy. And no one is cumming the way they used to. Both of you are taking it personally. The resentment is leaking into all arenas of partnered life. You want to have better sex than you are now with your partner. Let’s re-enliven that spark that use to be in the bedroom! I help couples (and individuals) who are not having the sex they want to, to learn how to come together (pun intended). I know sex is an important part of relationship, and that the sex you have evolves (not always for the better) over the course of a relationship. Working with me will focus on clear communication and education on how to have the sex you want to be having with your partner. Together we will talk honestly about the challenges and experiences you are having and, with humor and care, find the shared path forward to satisfying sex. With therapy, you can re-enliven the sex you want (or maybe learn how to have it for the first time). I want you and your partner to feel satisfied. If you are ready to learn about having better sex as you get older or in long term relationship (or maybe just in general, let’s be honest we all need a little help), to enliven your fantasies together, contact me for a free 15 minute consultation, call me at 707.593.6333 or click the button below. Let’s see if we can work together to help you have the sex that blows your hair back again. https://www.meaghanleighgosling.com/outside-the-lines daily 0.75 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60825b95e8d03f1f9d9d00b5/1620625221240-5CJG6AMVM8Z2MYZKCO5W/unsplash-image-P7EFJs577Xg.jpg Outside the Lines - You’ve had the experience where you’ve shared yourself, your story, your lifestyle, with others and not felt accepted. The norms around you, from sexuality to relationship to gender, don’t match who you are. Knowing how to find a therapist you can trust, with whom you can be fully honest, feels like an overwhelming prospect. You don’t want to feel like you have to teach a professional how to see you. You’ve had the experience where you’ve felt more like a teacher and less like a client. You want a therapist with whom you can hit the ground running. You also need a counselor who knows what the real problem is, when it has nothing to do with your sexuality or relationship or gender, no matter what they are. You already have people in your life who have told you that you are not ok, you want to know that your therapist will not be yet another. My name is Meaghan and I help individuals and relationships who color outside the lines of our heteronormative culture. From the gender spectrum, sexual identity/orientation, kink, and poly relationships, I know that most of what you want to talk to someone about is more vanilla than the other aspects of your life. I want you to bring your anxiety and depression and whatever else into session and know that I will not make it about what is not. Together we will talk about feelings, how you talk to yourself, and explore patterns that are no longer serving you. Therapy is a space where you can bring all the parts of you, and we will explore the pieces that are the real problem, not what others think the problem is. (I can also be a resource if you and your partner want to talk about opening up your relationship) If you’re ready to work with a professional who can help with both the mundane and atypical challenges you have and start on a path to healing, contact me for a free consultation, 707.593.6333 or click the button below. I know that working with the right therapist in can get you on the road to healing.

That feels like lifetimes ago. You are not happy where you are in your relationship, in fact, calling you and your partner roommates feels like it’s a little kinder than the relationship deserves right now. You’ve been deep diving on Insta, TikTok, at your local bookstore, on podcasts, and you cannot seem to find the magic formula to fix what is wrong in your relationship. And you’re exhausted. It has taken so much time and energy, with no real perceptible difference. How much work should you have to do? You’re hanging in uncertainty of whether this relationship is salvageable or if it is time to allow yourself and your partner to find a better match. You need help to make that decision; it feels so heavy and at times like life or death. What would happen if you left? Maybe it’s scarier to think what would happen if you stayed. No answer feels safe, and you have chased these questions in your head so long and intensely it hurts. Can someone just tell you what to do? How do you find honest answers? I assist individuals and couples who are uncertain of their relationship take an honest assessment of their potential. I will ask questions to support you to explore your genuine feelings as well as counsel on how to build a healthy relationship. I offer a safe place to explore, ask questions, and learn about the complexity of relationship as well as support your growth. I will help you walk towards the answer that makes the most sense to you for your relationship, as well as what needs to happen to get you what you want no matter the direction you decide. If you are ready to have honest and vulnerable conversations about your relationship to relieve the uncertainty that you are in currently, contact me for a free 15 minute consultation by calling 707.593.6333 or clicking the button below. I know it’s scary, but I don’t want you to settle for less than you deserve. I want to work with you to find the relationship you want, with or without your current partner.
