Therapists in Raleigh, NC

This I know to be true: Your future, how you perceive the world, how you feel about yourself and your behavior toward your family and friends is very much up to YOU. With courage, honesty, some hard work and a bit of help you can: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Feelings, Change Your Life.

I strive to create an environment where you can explore, engage, and rewrite your life-script. We all live from our own unique scripts, the stories we tell ourselves everyday about who we are, where we come from, and what we're capable of. Sometimes these scripts trap us in behaviors and states of mind that harm us and keep us from living a rich life. In counseling, we engage these bad scripts, whether they are anxiety, depression, addiction, relational issues, shame, family issues, or others. My job is to give you the resources to rewrite these bad scripts and live from new, healthy ones. Change is possible. Help is available.

Life is full of challenges, changes, and seasons, and we understand that. We offer genuine care and clinical expertise in a compassionate environment. We work with individuals, couples, and families to come alongside you and help you face and overcome whatever you may be dealing with. Depression, anxiety, transitions, relational strife, family stressors, sadness, loneliness, fear ... we care, and we can help! One of the greatest investments you can make is getting professional care. We believe you shouldn’t have to face struggles or hiccups alone. Often times it just takes a little guidance and direction to get you back on track.

Do you lack confidence in who you are and what you have to offer? Maybe you find it hard to ask for what you want and be assertive. You might carry feelings of guilt, shame, powerlessness, disconnection to self and others. I get it. I know the feeling. And I'm inspired by you being here. How beautiful is it that no matter the pain we've trudged through to get here, there's still a part of us whispering: I matter. I deserve love & peace & healing. I am more than the story I've been told. It might be hard to believe that part of you, if you grew up in a home or endured an experience that told you otherwise.

If you are struggling with anxiety, compulsive behavior, wish to overcome the consequences of traumatic experiences, or feel stuck in your life journey, I invite you to contact me. As a therapist, I strive to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment for individuals to gain greater self-awareness and self-regulation. In our work together, we will hold space for difficult emotions, identify patterns that have helped you in the past and may not be serving you now, and develop new skills so that you are able to gently move toward living a more fulfilling life aligned with your values.

Accepting New Clients: Each and every person has a unique story to share. I believe it takes an abundance of courage to seek services, to share that story, and to be transparent about the daily battles in one's life. Whether it may be the constant battles, burdens, or challenges, together, we can work towards success. I believe as a Mental Health Provider, I have an important role in changing lives by helping clients overcome their challenges and by leaving a positive impact through my services.

I help moms thrive without fear, anxiety and overwhelm. My clients struggle as you do. Despite being strong, capable and amazing, life is hard. Even harder really since becoming a mom. When you first come in, you’re struggling to know yourself, inundated with overwhelm, fear, worry and a heavy load. Everyone’s load may look different, but it’s heavy. With EMDR, moms can begin to feel less overwhelmed, less triggered, less anxious and there’s room for more joy!

Accepting New Clients! Struggling to find meaningful connection in your life? Sometimes the harder we work to come up for air, the more we feel like we are drowning.

Our focus is not just on short term symptom relief, but long term understanding of the dynamics that keep us stuck. We'll take the time to truly understand your history, triggers, and all contributing factors in order to build an individualized plan for treatment.

You are human and you are worthy just as you are. You do not need permission to take up space. Let yourself to sit with those words for a few moments and take them in. What comes up for you? As a therapist I strive to emphasize the meaning and truth that those words hold as you and I work together to explore and get curious about the barriers that may get in the way of you fully believing them.

I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults dealing with developmental delays including autism/Asperger's and mental health disorders.

My introduction to counseling started well before I became a clinician. As a widow raising young children without the support of a husband/father, life was overwhelming and, initially, felt impossible to bear. Fear, anxiety, depression, anger, and sometimes debilitating emotional pain worked overtime to leave me feeling hopeless. The decision to reach out for help changed my life. It was empowering and provided the needed tools to not only survive but to thrive. Now, with over 12 yrs of clinical work, I look forward to working with you to provide an experience of empowerment as you grow through what led you to seek support.

Hello! I'm Merrill, a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and I'm passionate about supporting people who struggle with disordered eating, anxiety, and trauma. My clients often describe themselves as smart, intuitive, driven, or sensitive people, and they frequently know the exhaustion of impostor syndrome, people pleasing, and following food rules. I specialize in collaborating with clients finding freedom from a constantly chattering inner critic, and clients seeking self-confidence and the inner safety to rest.

Whether you are navigating unhealthy attachments, having relationship and marital concerns, or overwhelmed with anxiety and fear there is hope for you to overcome! My therapeutic approach remains the same whether there is one or more persons in my office, I believe the quality of our relationships is mostly determined by the quality of our individual lives, and I endeavor to help my clients understand how their thoughts, misalignment of values, and unresolved rejection and abandonment concerns impact every area of their lives.
