Merrett Stufflebeem

My communication style

I use active listening with compassion and no judgment. It's critical that therapy truly be a safe space to explore any and all issues. I can be directive at times and will share personal experiences when helpful and appropriate. We are all trying to figure life out, and I think it's important to be a humble yet knowledgeable guide.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been fascinated with people and what makes them tick. I find it an honor to hear people's stories and be a catalyst for positive change. The most important experience was engaging in my own therapeutic journey. I know what it's like to feel vulnerable and how life-changing therapy can be.

My goals for you

Successful progress is illustrated by your belief that your life is changing for the better and that you can head in the direction you want to go. Obstacles become less challenging, and you are more in touch with your strengths and ability to engage in them.

Our first session

In the first session, we will explore your reasons for seeking therapy at this time, set any goals you have, or develop some if you aren't sure. I will answer any questions you have about me or the process, and we will set the tone for our journey together.
