Hi there! I’m so glad you found your way here, I’m Merlyn. What drew me to therapy wasn’t theory, but the quiet moment when someone feels safe enough to exhale, speak their truth, and realize they were never too much to be understood. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about understanding the parts of you that had to fight, protect, and survive.
I also provide Christian-integrated counseling for women who share this faith, helping you explore your struggles through both science and Scripture, where psychology and God’s truth work together beautifully. This blend honors both emotional and spiritual healing, creating space for restoration that feels whole and grounded.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida and the founder of Merlyn Asencio Psychotherapy & Wellness, LLC. I specialize in working with high-functioning women, the ones who appear composed, capable, and self-aware, yet feel anxious, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. As the creator of The Merlyn MethodTM, I combine attachment-based EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and narrative therapy to help you reconnect with your voice, rebuild confidence, and experience peace that lasts beyond the session.
I'm a highly accomplished and experienced licensed mental health counselor and wellness coach. My approach is holistic, addressing, mind, body, and spirit.
As a Latina immigrant,cultural sensitivity is of paramount importance to me.
I'm compassionate by nature and also want the therapeutic experience to be fun. Therapy shouldn't feel like punishment so I use creative ways to keep us moving forward in your healing process.
It is my mission to create a safe and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment for all clients. I make every effort to work collaboratively with clients because you're the best expert on you! I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand and accept your own story.
