President
Marguerite "Meg" Ferrell, LMFT

I’ve been visiting my family in Redding since 1989, and I’ve always loved the sense of community here. In 2020, I made the decision to leave the hustle and bustle of Southern California and move to Redding, and I’m so grateful to call this beautiful place home. Living in the North State has been a dream come true, with opportunities to enjoy biking, hiking, and boating—plus, it’s incredible to drive around without the stress of traffic!

After working as a social worker with Children’s Services (CPS) in Riverside County, I decided to pursue a second career in therapy and opened my practice in February 2023. I specialize in helping people heal from childhood trauma, guiding them to reclaim their lives and find strength. I’ve received extensive training in EMDR (Levels 1 & 2), Brainspotting (Levels 1 & 2), Prepare/Enrich, Solution-Focused Therapy, and DBT.

I’m truly honored to serve the RCC-CAMFT community as your 2025 President! I truly look forward to connecting with you, our amazing members of RRC-CAMFT!

Please join me on an up-and-coming CAMFT hike soon!

Kara West, LMFT

Hello! I'm Kara West, LMFT and I'm excited to serve on the local board as your Membership Coordinator. I'm looking forward to collaborating with clinicians in the area and learning more about all of the amazing work each of you do. I've lived in Redding almost 10 years and although it has taken some time, I now officially call it home! There are many things about the North State that are appealing, one of which is the work that I get to do. A little bit about me, in 2013, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and in 2017, I finished my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. I have a huge passion for working with the underserved population. I spent a little over 6 years working in Child Welfare, and currently, I work for Shasta County Office of Education; I also see clients in private practice. As a clinician, my goal is to join in this process of self-discovery and through our work together, we can gain new insights, develop effective coping strategies, and build resilience to face moments of uncertainty with confidence.

I’m excited to join the local CAMFT chapter as your new Membership Coordinator! I’m looking forward to getting to know others in the field and learning how I can best support you.

P.S. In my free time, I enjoy comedic relief, tacos, dog walks, listening to podcasts, and trying out new recipes!
