Dr. Megan Phillips
Licensed Psychologist

Dr. Megan Phillips is a licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience working with women through some of life's most profound passages. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, she completed her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Pacific University in 2012, and went on to complete her internship and postdoctoral hours working with transitional-aged youth in community mental health settings and college counseling centers across Oregon and Southern California.

In 2016, a deeply personal experience — navigating postpartum depression after the birth of her first child — redirected her clinical focus entirely. She turned her own threshold moment into a calling. Dr. Phillips went on to build a private group practice centered on perinatal mental health, and has since become a sought-after speaker and educator, training doctors, nurses, and birth workers on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

Dr. Phillips is a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) provider and specializes in supporting women from conception through birth and the early years of parenting. She is equally skilled at working with women navigating career transitions, midlife identity shifts, relationship changes, and the particular challenges facing young adults in an increasingly complex world.

Her therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and strengths-based, solution-focused methods — a practical, evidence-based combination designed to create lasting change as efficiently as possible. She is licensed in both Kansas and California and holds PSYPACT certification, allowing her to practice across participating states.

Outside the therapy room, Dr. Phillips is a mother of three, a public speaker passionate about expanding access to quality mental health care, and co-host of a weekly podcast with fellow female entrepreneurs on the business of psychology.
