Hello, I am Dr. Justine Meador (she/her), a holistic sex and relationships therapist who’s passionate about helping people feel more connected to themselves, their bodies, and the people they love.

My practice is grounded in depth psychology and guided by curiosity, authenticity, and a direct yet compassionate approach. I’m not a “nod and smile” kind of therapist. I’ll sit with you in the hard places, offer honest reflections, and gently challenge you along the way. Clients often tell me they feel both safe and encouraged to grow in our work together.

As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I experience the world with deep emotional and sensory awareness. This sensitivity allows me to be highly attuned and present during our time together so you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.

Therapy with me is holistic - we’ll look not just at your emotions, but also at your body, your relationships, and how you make sense of your experiences. Together, we’ll work on understanding your needs and desires, exploring patterns, and cultivating new ways of thinking and being in the world so you can live a more fulfilled and _______ life.

I’m here to help you fill in the blank.

I also believe therapy should feel personal, not just clinical. When I’m not in session, you might find me jogging around the streets of Santa Barbara, curled up with a good book, cooking for loved ones, cheering on my favorite sports teams, or spending time with my nieces and nephews. I love these simple, everyday moments of life - they remind me to slow down, notice what matters, and remember that joy often lives in the ordinary, quiet spaces of our days.

It would be my privilege to guide you as you uncover what a more connected, joyful, and authentic life can look like for you.
