Nadia Merlo, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Nadia!

I help children, adolescents, adults, and families work through anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, divorce, interpersonal relationships, grief, self-esteem, trauma, and family conflicts including domestic violence.

My focus

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families seeking support through a range of challenges.

My approach

My approach is flexible and based on your individual needs. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy to help you recognize how thoughts impact behaviors and shift negative patterns. I also draw on psychodynamic therapy to explore origins of current concerns and solution-focused therapy to identify skills you can use differently.

My communication style

I provide a safe environment with reflective listening and believe I have a natural ability to relate and connect with others. My goal is to help you feel supported throughout the therapeutic process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a passion for helping, inspiring, and empowering others to identify their strengths and capabilities. I believe therapeutic support can help individuals find the resiliency they need to get through life experiences, and I would be honored to collaborate with you on your path to growth and healing.

My goals for you

My overall objective is to work together with you to develop a treatment plan with obtainable goals that result in a healthy and fulfilling life.
