About me

Hello and welcome to Hillside View Counseling. My name is Meghan Martin and I am originally from San Antonio, Texas. I moved to Austin in 2009 to pursue my degree in Human Growth and Development. I quickly fell in love with Austin and planted my roots there where I became a preschool teacher for a few years. Eventually, I yearned for something more and decided to finally dig into my dream of becoming a counselor. I completed my Master in Counseling degree from St. Edward's University in 2021 and have been loving every moment. 

In 2022, I had my daughter who (sometimes) has too much of her mama's strong opinions, but is the light of my world. My husband and I enjoy anything that involves good food and music. I love cold rainy weather but also a sunny day to play in - hard balance in Texas! I sink into hard and deep conversations but do not hesitate to sprinkle in some humor. Sarcasm is my second language, whether I like it or not! Life takes turns and bends in ways that we are sometimes not prepared for. It is important to feel safe and heard and I hope to create that for each client.

When we begin to take a broad look at our story, it can be divided into chapters. Some chapters are already written, filled with words of hope or pain, but we are the author of our story. What will the next chapter look like for you once you hold the pen?  Feel free to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we can work together on your journey!
