Sometimes, you have to feel your feelings! I often say this to help alleviate the guilt of expressing myself- whether it be sadness, happiness, frustration, etc. Hello, my name is Marsaides Mercier. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been a therapist for 13 years, with initial experience as a case manager. So what brought me to the field of therapy? Of course, I wanted to be helpful to others, and I was told, "I give great advice." However, over time I have learned therapy is not about giving "good advice" but more about helping others find their way to feel what they feel without the guilt of it all.

Hello! My name is Dana Ferry, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Our journey in life is often filled with responsibilities towards ourselves and others. There are times that we are faced with situations where we feel stuck and do not quite understand how to navigate or make sense of why we responded in the way that we did and we want to change it. My goal is to support you in your journey of finding new coping skills/reframing your thought processes and finding healthier ways to live your best version of your life.  My approach to therapy is that you are in control and I am here to support you. The analogy I like to tell my clients is that "you are the driver of the car and I am next to you

There are times we will feel stuck in life, paralyzed by anxiety, unsure of our next steps. We try to climb out of the slump but oftentimes we do not know how. Changes, growth, and healing are not easy, they often come with pain and take time. You do not need to do this all alone. We are all humans and sometimes we all need support. As a therapist, I am here to walk through this journey with you, providing you with support, empathy, and guidance. I can help you understand your experiences, feelings, and emotional needs, and learn adaptive coping skills.

When I was younger, I didn’t know how to communicate my feelings and felt frustrated by potential mischaracterization. After I had my first child, I had a difficult time navigating through postpartum depression. I started asking questions and researching mental health while finding virtual support groups. Through this process, I realized that I had s never been alone in my personal issues. When I was pregnant with my second child, I went back to school for social work to become a mental health professional to serve people in my community to help navigate through anxiety, depression, grief, and intergenerational traumas.

Making the decision to call a therapist is scary for most of us. It is usually at a time when we feel vulnerable or things have reached a crisis point. I can help give you objective feedback so that you can understand and make sense of your thoughts and feelings. In therapy you will learn new coping skills that you can use, not just in this incident, but in future ones. You don't have to be alone as you try and figure things out. I believe I can help.

With all that is going on around us, I have seen how we may need support now more than ever. Are you a bit more overwhelmed of late? Are you or your partner struggling with best communicating wants and needs? Are you reacting at times about things that did not previously bother you?

We all have issues we deal with on a daily basis, and therapy is about addressing those issues in a positive, effective manner. I provide the highest level of professional care in a warm, inviting, supportive and nonjudgmental environment. I help people of all ages, and work in many different modalities tailoring the treatment to the needs of each patient. I work with individuals, couples and families to assist in skill building and to promote healthy everyday living. I specialize in managing individuals' issues, couples counseling, working with children and families.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I can honestly say I still love my job. I have a passion to see marriages thrive and it's my privilege to help individuals struggling with life issues.
