Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Denise Mercherson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience helping individual's navigate life challenges.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, collaboration and evidence-based practices. My focus is trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss. I utilize a blend of therapeutic modalities tailored to your goals including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and Mindfulness Therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to address your needs by providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I am passionate about helping others to cope with the difficulties they face and providing the non-judgmental support that everyone deserves. We will work together to set goals and develop practical strategies to address your unique challenges. My aim is to meet clients where they are and empower them to make meaningful , lasting changes in their lives
