TESTIMONIALS

What Patients Say.

“I have been seeing Merissa now for several years, and after 2-3 years prior going through several different therapists and almost giving up, I finally found someone whom I connect with and who really has helped me with my anxiety tremendously. I have suffered for so many years, and even though there's no quick fix, she has helped me make such strides in many areas of my life, and I'm forever grateful. I enjoy speaking with her weekly and giving her honest feedback and direction on how to handle the different day-to-day struggles I have. I have recommended her to any family or friends who have looked for a great therapist. Merissa has played a huge role in my life, and I am so thankful to have found her.”
