My name is Michele Merlob. I am licensed in Florida, Texas, California & Hawaii and have been working with clients since 1997. I believe in connecting with a client to assist them with achieving their goals for therapy. I work with 18+ individuals struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma & associated disorders.
My approach
My therapeutic approach to therapy is eclectic. My most common is psychodynamic, relational, brief solution focused, ACT & CBT.
My focus
I typically work with clients 18 and older. My experience is eating disorders and associated disorders and issues. Additionally, life transitions, anxiety, depression & trauma.
My communication style
I like to create a space for clients to utilize their session time for what they are needing during their time. Also, keeping in mind their goals & reasons for entering therapy. It is important for me to develop a healthy therapeutic relationship & challenge clients in a collaborative manner.
My journey to mental healthcare
My bachelor’s degree is in criminal justice because I thought I wanted to be a lawyer to assist individuals who needed a voice. I decided to pursue a master's degree in psychology to truly work on a collaborative level with clients deeply desiring change & growth.
My goals for you
I encourage clients to think about & come up with their goals. As therapy progresses, I like to assist & challenge the individual within their comfort zone to explore building on their initial goals.
My first session with you
During the first session, I will talk with the potential client about what brings them to therapy while listening and answering any questions or concerns they may have. I will use this time to gather pertinent information to continue the therapeutic process.
