You’re looking for relief and real change. It may appear like you have it all together, but on the inside you feel doubtful, burdened, unfulfilled, and stressed. Maybe you’re caught between different cultures, struggling with your identity and finding your place in the world. You might be carrying the trauma of your past or family history and seeing the impacts at work, home, and in your body and relationships. Maybe you're deeply worried about the state of the world and don't know how to move forward meaningfully. Even in your free time, you may find it difficult to truly relax and rest, your sense of pleasure and purpose depleted.

I work with individuals who would like to explore how their upbringing has influenced the way they relate to others. Perhaps you’ve noticed the same patterns emerging in your romantic relationships or friendships, and you’d like to understand why. Do you struggle to establish and maintain boundaries? Is there something holding you back from asking for what you need and being vulnerable? Your parents may not have provided you with much emotional support due to generational and/or cultural differences. You’d like to understand whether the survival mechanisms that you’ve learned as a child are still serving you.

I'm passionate about working with people who identify as or suspect they may be neurodivergent. I recognize that despite the wide diversities of experience that occur with ADHD, many individuals with the disorder are often overlooked because they don’t fit a stereotyped idea of what people think ADHD looks like. Perhaps you have felt your struggles were invalidated or overlooked by family, friends, or even other professionals. Whether you are seeking diagnostic clarity for accommodations at school/work, help with next steps, or simply to better understand yourself, I can help.

I specialize in working with couples and 2+ partnerships, in which one or more of the partners identifies as queer, trans, bi, and/or pansexual. I support the members of these partnerships in building fulfillment and security in their relationships, while also enjoying full expression of their identities. I help each person regulate and understand their own system, in order to have more freedom in the ways they show up with each other. I also work with individual, queer-identified adults and teenagers who want to develop pride, comfort and agency by unpacking & separating from the impacts of systemic oppression.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

There's a lot of talk these days about "boundaries," but what does that mean? Many are unsure. This is often part of a collection of symptoms, including self-esteem issues, getting lost in relationships, difficulty with moderation, unrealistic goals of perfectionism, and more. I can help you understand these experiences, which are often related to codependency, resulting in anxiety, feelings of separation from others, problems with intimacy, and repeating parenting behaviors that you disliked growing up. Together we'll use Internal Family Systems to address all of this and make change.

I work to co-create a safe space with my clients that is uniquely built around the needs, desires, and experiences of each individual. I come to this work with the belief that systems of oppression impact our mental health, and my therapeutic approach is rooted in principles of anti-oppression, trauma informed care, and collective liberation. I prioritize working with BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ identifying folks. I am particularly excited to work with people as they explore the intersections of religion and queerness, navigate relationship dynamics, explore identity, process grief, work on boundaries, and embody their lives more fully.

We are living in a transformative time. For many of you, it may feel terrifying, hopeless, or even dark. Whereas for others; confusing, or even abundant and expansive. This is the effect of the major timeline shift we are undergoing. Such questions of where to find solace, with whom to find trust, and what the future looks like for you and those you love, might be on the forefront of your mind and heart. The mere concepts of happiness and ease may feel foreign or even impossible at this time. Further, most of the time, we are not truly listened to or seen wholly, genuinely, and comprehensively. That is where we will begin.

My name is Kelly Merdinger. I specialize in therapy for clients experiencing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and challenges in their relationships. I work with clients in cultivating self-compassion and empowering beliefs by processing and understanding past painful experiences. It's normal to feel "stuck" when our bodies and minds are overwhelmed. My goal is to provide an affirming and safe space to slow down as your emotions are expressed, validated, and integrated into a new and healthier understanding of self.

I offers wholistic mental health care, including medication management, mindfulness therapy and ketamine therapy. I partner with clients to explore who they are in part by looking at the stories they have formed about themselves and their experiences. Our work together may include learning coping skills, identifying personal narratives and limiting beliefs, normalizing challenging experiences, understanding and accepting our different "parts", working with the somatic experiences of our emotions, building a supportive spiritual practice, etc. I believe in the thoughtful use of medications to support this work.

Suffering is not evidence of failure. It is evidence of one thing... your humanity. We all suffer sometimes and we all deserve compassion and care simply because we're human. Coming to therapy can be scary. Even as you're reaching out to have a chance at a better experience in life, you want to know that who you are, and where you are now, will be respected and cared for. I believe good therapy can be both challenging and gentle, supportive and enlivening.

My clients are usually the people everyone leans on but personally don't feel comfortable being vulnerable with others. They find it hard to express or even acknowledge their own feelings because they're taking care of others. My clients are strong but need help creating boundaries so they aren't used or abused anymore. They usually have a history of rough childhood experiences they don't feel safe talking about or, don't even remember. They may not consider their past experiences rough, just things that happened. I authored the book, "Mourning the Living: When the Loved One You've Lost is Still Here."
