Merisa Hannington

I am a Licensed Marriage and Therapist in California and a Registered Art Therapist with the American Art Therapist Credentials Board, Inc.

I have experience working with teens, adults, and families, focusing on issues such as addiction, anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. I facilitate therapy sessions by exploring and identifying how these issues affect your relationships with yourself, others, and the world around you. As your therapist, my goal is to enhance your self-awareness, while improving your relationships (especially with yourself), and help you manage your emotions. We will explore your triggers, emotional responses, thought patterns, and behaviors. I believe that emotional healing occurs by looking at your thoughts objectively and searching for alternative ways to think and behave, which will improve your emotional health.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Art Therapy

The first session will be us getting to know each other, sharing how I work as a therapist, identify your goals for therapy, and if we will be a good fit.
