If you have been thinking about starting therapy or getting back into it, trust your gut and reach out!

Mental health is how we think, feel and act as we cope with life. It helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices. Like physical health, mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Everyone feels worried, anxious, sad or stressed sometimes. But with a mental illness, these feelings do not go away and are severe enough to interfere with your daily life. It can make it hard meeting and keeping friends, hold a job or enjoy life. "Get plugged In". You cannot wish your problems away. Therapy can help.

If you're reading this your journey toward wellness has already begun and you've decided to answer the call for more. The journey is worth it, but, as you've discovered, not easy. Sometimes it's unclear where to even start or go next. There are times we are overwhelmed by our emotions making it feel unsafe to take one more step or have blocked feeling altogether. Beloved, being well and healing IS possible and the process, though undoubtedly uncomfortable and uniquely yours, does not have to be gone through alone.

Feelings may not be facts, but understanding them is key to living an intentional and fulfilling life. I help women from all walks of life understand their thinking patterns and develop the skills to reframe their mind. By turning your biggest strengths and weaknesses into the tools you need to overcome life’s obstacles.

My ideal client is open and honest in her presentation and is eager to work on identified issues. This client is committed to treatment and arrives weekly (or biweekly) for therapy sessions as per treatment agreement. Ideally, my clients would be somewhat self-reflective, although this is not a requirement. Self-reflection tends to promote the development of insight.

Hi there, welcome! Thank you for being strong and courageous. My name is Emmanuel Martinez and welcome to Mercy Counseling Services! I am a licensed mental health counselor. Life is difficult, especially these days. We are living in unprecedented times and our mental health is a priority. We live in a space where day to day, hour to hour things are changing.

I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor located in Dorchester, Massachusetts. I have worked in substance abuse for 8 years by helping men and women fight their addictions. As someone who has personally witnessed the struggles of battling drug addiction, I have come to understand that “the change is in the thinking...not the doing.” This means that any changes we want to make must begin with the way we think about things. Our thoughts impact our actions. Thoughts may be deeply impacted by past traumas, anxiety, the environment in which you were raised, depression, or relationships, and may prevent us from being our best selves.

How often in our busy lives do we have the opportunity to have another person truly listen to your thoughts, fears, hopes, ambitions? Sadly, not as often as we would like.
