Meshai Olivares Dixon LMFT

 
 

My role as a therapist is to come alongside you as a facilitator of the therapeutic journey.

This may happen at different points in your life, in the marriage journey, or in various stages of development. Whether your journey is short or long,
I aim to come to support you as you find inner peace and personal growth.

As an individual, couple, and group therapist, I bring a knowledge of therapeutic tools to sessions that help facilitate your personal healing and growth. I believe in the power of living out one’s authentic self and the freedom that comes from changing perspectives.

Truth desires to be lived outwardly.

I am excited about the opportunity to aid you in living it authentically and from a well of inner strength.
