Rita Mercante

With over 10 years of clinical experience, I work with thoughtful, high-functioning adults that are outwardly successful yet privately feel stuck in repeating ineffective patterns. I specialize in working with adults aged 18-75 managing anxiety, depression, mood disorders and personality disorders. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relationship strains or lingering effects of earlier experiences that still shape their reactions today. My approach is steady, reflective and depth oriented, working collaboratively in a safe environment.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT and Psychodynamic therapy. Therapy with me is consistent, thoughtful and tailored to your unique needs. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.

I start with an introductory session where you will have an opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. Together, we will figure that out!
