Couples therapists in Meridian, ID

Hi, I’m Matt, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I work with individuals and couples managing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, parenting struggles, relationship stress, addiction, and autism spectrum disorder (and more, see my list of specialties!)

Therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re not sure where to start—but taking that first step says a lot about your strength. I commend you for making the choice to search for help. My goal is to create a calm, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. You don’t have to have everything figured out; we’ll take it one step at a time. I’ll meet you where you are and move at your pace, offering support and guidance as you work toward feeling more balanced, capable, and connected.

My name is David Hoffmann. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed since early 2015, and have been counseling for over a decade. I have been happily married for 34 years and have 5 adult children spread across the country. I have worked as a counselor for more than ten years. I work with couples and individuals and help with a wide variety of issues from Trauma to depression and anxiety.

Hi. I'm Susan (Simmons) Martinelli and, simply stated, "I love people"...every individual one. I have over 30 years' experience in the mental health field with people who may also suffer with substance use and addiction or vice versa. The two often go hand-in-hand and it can be a devastating and life-changing moment to realize you possibly have either a mental illness and/ or a substance/ alcohol use problem. I simply want to help you find your healthy path...whatever that is for you. I look forward to learning about you as a person and what we can accomplish together.

I have been working in mental health for 11 years. I specialize in transitions in life, anxiety, and perfectionism.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with relationships, past experiences, or sleep, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin to heal. I work with teens, adults, and couples on trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use, sleep and insomnia, relationship struggles, and the everyday stress that builds up over time. I'm also proud to offer affirming, welcoming support for the LGBTQIA+ community and for first responders. Together we'll work through what's weighing on you so you can move forward with more confidence and peace.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, heard, and accepted. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, ADHD, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and have experience in private practice, medical social work, community mental health, and pediatric therapy. I am EMDR-trained and integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based therapy, and play therapy when working with children.

I work with clients across the lifespan and enjoy helping people heal from trauma, manage anxiety and stress, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and build resilience. My approach is collaborative and individualized because I believe every person brings unique strengths and experiences to therapy.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and the life you want to create.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience helping individuals, couples, families, and adolescents navigate a wide range of mental health and substance use challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from Arizona State University and hold an associate's degree in Addiction Counseling Education.

My areas of specialization include substance use and co-occurring disorders, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and other behavioral health concerns. I use an integrative, evidence-based approach tailored to each client's unique needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based practices.

Although my clinical career began in substance use treatment, my experience has expanded to include behavioral health across a variety of settings, providing therapy for adults, adolescents, children, relationship counseling, crisis intervention, and ongoing support for individuals working toward emotional well-being and meaningful life changes.

I believe therapy should be a dynamic, collaborative process that yields real-world results. My practice is built on a foundation of academic excellence and specialized training, including a BA in Psychology from University of Southern California and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Utah.

My Therapeutic Toolkit: Evidence-Based & Proactive

I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I blend several powerful, evidence-based modalities to help you achieve your goals quickly and effectively:

• ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): A specialized approach for trauma and PTSD that uses eye movements to "reprogram" distressing memories and sensations, often providing relief in just a few sessions.
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We will work together to identify and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of anxiety or depression.
• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): I provide practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships—giving you a "manual" for navigating life's hardest moments.

My experience is centered on collaborating with youth, adults, and families. During these developing years and shifting dynamics, additional care for our health is needed. I work with emotional regulation, relational rifts, enhancing communication, and acceptance of self.

With attachment focused therapy as my base, I utilize mindfulness and experiential approaches in our work together. Our conversations and therapeutic activities are guided by your experience and goals.

Hi, I’m Molly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes deeply in the power of connection, presence, and honoring the wisdom you already carry. I have a great deal of experience working with women and teens (11+) navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, family and relationship challenges, exploring attachment and relationship patterns, grief and loss, and the lasting emotional impacts of difficult or overwhelming experiences.

I also have experience supporting individuals who have been in domestic violence situations, helping them rebuild safety, self-trust, and personal agency. I also welcome and support men and people of diverse cultural backgrounds, and I am committed to creating a therapy space that is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in respect.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Idaho with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Sofia University, where I specialized in Transpersonal Psychology. My clinical background includes extensive work in outpatient and residential treatment settings, as well as private practice telehealth care.

Many of the clients I support are looking not only to reduce distress, but also to better understand themselves, improve emotional regulation, and create a more grounded and meaningful life.

I provide care through a structured, ethical, and collaborative lens, with a strong focus on clinical clarity, treatment planning, and measurable progress.
