Accepting new clients May '24- I believe everyone has an inner strength and that a large part of my role as a therapist is to assist you in discovering and utilizing whatever that strength may be! It is vital to the therapy process to feel a genuine connection with your therapist, so I focus on establishing rapport and strive to create a safe and open environment in which you can feel comfortable to be yourself. I provide individual therapy and am passionate about helping clients navigate a variety of concerns including: anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum mental health, self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions.

I work with adults through many stressors, and I specalize in caring for parents. I'm here to make time for your well-being and help support you through this tough, wonderful, never-ending job. Maybe you're having anxious thoughts or feeling down. Maybe something big is changing. For most parents, we get used to taking care of ourselves last, if at all. Therapy is a time for you. Transitioning to parenthood brings up a world of emotions from joy and excitement to grief and anxiety. And it doesn't end with postpartum. Life gets messy sometimes. I'm dedicated to providing support to you, the caregivers doing the work every day.

The journey to parenthood is often idealized as the most joyous and miraculous time of your life, but what happens when your reality does not match your fairytale, and you are thrust into challenges for which you feel ill-prepared? What happens when your reality is wrought with grief/loss, anger, anxiety, depression, and confusion? Where do you go when your journey is further complicated by medical, environmental, and systemic issues outside of your control? During these times you need someone to help you navigate the emotional roller coasters, cavernous grief, and unpredictability in ways that feel safe and natural.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private counseling practice specializing in infertility, pregnancy/birth, postpartum, attachment and parenting challenges. I combine my life experiences and formal trainings to provide my clients with a unique blend of acceptance, knowledge and compassion which I believe to be vital for healing and leaping into the unknown spaces of living life abundantly. Feel free to call or email me anytime with questions or to learn more about how we can work together.

It can be hard to admit when we’re not ok. Sometimes our thoughts, emotions, and past experiences can make it difficult for us to experience peace and live life how we desire. What if you could find relief and learn healthy and helpful ways of coping during difficult moments? I believe that everyone possesses positive, innate tools that can help them conquer life’s challenges, gain personal growth, and experience healing. I support individuals experiencing personal challenges related to stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem/self-worth, postpartum, and other life transitions.

Are you tired of answering the question "What's wrong?" One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't speak. Together, we can find your voice and explore whatever brings you to counseling in a collaborative, safe and supportive setting. Mental health is just as critical as your physical health and you don't need to suffer in silence. You deserve an emotional check-up.

I serve individuals, couples, and families seeking professional therapeutic services. My areas of expertise include relationship and family dynamic concerns, grief and loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infertility counseling, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders.

I believe that we do not always have control over our circumstances, but we do have a choice in how we handle our circumstances. I encourage clients to focus on their strengths. Allowing a safe platform to vent and learn how to use healthy ways to manage depression, anxiety, stress, life's unexpected changes, losses, codependency and relationship/family struggles. I have worked with many woman regarding pregnancy issues, loss, post-partum, relationship issues and work/life balance. In addition, I've worked with men regarding relationship issues, work stress, family dynamics, and loss.

You are here for a reason, and I am here to support you in your journey. I provide a welcoming therapeutic environment that offers a safe place to facilitate change, promote personal growth, and learn new strategies and coping skills to manage distress. I value each individual that I work with and tailor my therapy practice to meet you at your level of comfort during our sessions. My goal is to collaborate with you to understand your current concerns and work together to find your path to peace and healing.

My work is focused on creating a safe, warm, and inviting space for individuals and couples to receive therapy. Many of the couples I work with experience poor communication, lack of trust, and resistance to change. I believe those who are open to change and self-awareness are those who will benefit the most. I also enjoy working with individuals. You may be struggling with interpersonal issues. You may feel unsure of your identity and of the things you want in life. For both couples and individuals, my job is to walk with you on the path toward happiness and contentedness.

I work with the healers and helpers who not only have seen the worst in their work, but also have a personal history of trauma. So many in the healing and helping professions have painful backgrounds that have fueled their fire to care for others. Healers experience some of the worst and most rampant burnout which can stem from a number of places including vicarious trauma and having past traumas triggered by clients, systems, and the overall work. Move from an inner place of fear, imposter syndrome and co-dependency to a place of inner security.

Everyone deserves to have support and help in navigating challenging moments in their lives. I strive to aid clients in finding their own strengths and abilities to help them tackle and survive even the difficult moments in their journeys. My experience as a therapist has given me the opportunity to work with many different populations and I have learned and grown from each new client. I have a passion for working with those experiencing anxiety and depression as well as supporting parents through the intense transitions that come with building families and navigating this new stage of life.

I am Holly Klostermann, licensed clinical social worker. I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds including but not limited to anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I treat individuals, couples and families with a variety of struggles. Whether you are in need of help navigating present relationships, life transitions, or are struggling with lifelong issues, my education and experience can help you achieve your goals. I use a variety of approaches throughout the therapeutic process to meet the needs of the clients I see as they progress and work towards leading a happier, healthier life. My experience and training can help you grow and create the change for which you are looking.

My theory is to promote positive reinforcement. Choices should be used to provide a model for understanding human emotions, behaviors and thoughts. Understanding choices in decision making will give you the encouragement to move forward.

Congratulations on taking a positive step toward a healthier and happier life! My name is Tricia Merlo-Follmer. I am a psychotherapist who practices in the South County area. I work with many people who experience issues such as: Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Grief, Trauma and relationship issues. I offer various treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) among other therapies that help heal traumatic experiences. If you need to take control over your life/emotions, please call for an appointment. I have helped many people gain a sense of confidence and self-worth.

If you want a blunt and no sugar coating therapist look no further! Of course, I am honest with the intent of being kind and caring. The goal is to make the client a priority and implement self-care. Therapy is an investment and considered prevention for your own self-care needs. I have over 12 years experience, and worked in medical settings before that. I have experience in the medical health environment with a range of health issues from sufferers of heart attacks, stroke, women's & men's issues, and chronic illnesses. I implement an eclectic approach featuring CBT.

I'm a secular therapist, currently seeing individuals only- I prefer to take things slow, so rapport and genuine connection can be built. I don't have all the answers or a magic wand, and you're not a toaster that needs to be fixed. But life is hard as hell, and having someone you can count on every week to provide clinical guidance, empathy, and a safe space to process definitely makes it a little easier to keep going.
