I am Christine Mercier, licensed in North Carolina as a clinical social worker and addiction specialist. I would like to share the philosophy that informs my practice. I believe that entering into a therapeutic relationship with you is a very special and even sacred agreement to explore whatever life situations are causing you to seek counseling. Feelings of anxiety, depression, and associated symptoms can interfere significantly with your being able to live the meaningful and satisfying life you envision. It is helpful for you to be open to new ideas and behaviors which will facilitate discovering the ways to reach your goals.
I value the qualities of compassion, empathy, and authenticity. I use client-centered approach to provide a non-judgemental space to facilitate exploration of your authentic self. We will learn to confront false beliefs and expectations to open yourself to better self-understanding while developing tools to make meaningful behavioral and attitude changes
It is normal if you are entering counseling for the first time to feel anxiety and confusion as to how this process works. Even if you have prior experience in therapy it may still be beneficial to utilize the free consultation benefit to make initial contact with me as information-gathering session.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and ACT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which includes mindfulness training. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. We may use the psychodynamic process to help uncover causes of current distress but will focus on ways to help you learn how understand and accept or change those thoughts for improved well-being.
