More about Merrie

- LCSW
People come in to my virtual office every day with different presenting problems, some kind of pain, and yet are all looking for the same thing. They are looking for peace. What is peace? Peace is being free from stress and anxiety. Peace is the experience of living in your own body and spirit and being at home there. A feeling of calm amid the storm. While we cannot have this peaceful feeling all the time, we can have it more. In therapy we can explore what the obstacles are to your peace and figure out how to overcome those obstacles.
I have an eclectic approach tailored to the needs of each person I work with.
I look forward to getting to know you and to helping you define your goals for therapy.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
