First appointment completed and I already feel comfortable and safe talking with Merissa. She went through all of the information and questionnaire precisely. At one point she even looked up a word and defined it for me so I could properly answer the questionnaire question. I left the appointment full of laughter and just feeling seen/cared for. I’m also excited because she does exercises (I love a good worksheet lol). Definitely looking forward to our next session 😁💜

First session and I already feel like I found my person. She made me feel at ease, explained everything clearly, and gently prepped me for the emotional stuff (which...it did, but in a good way?) After scrolling profiles like it was therapist Tinder, I'm so glad I landed here. You're stuck with me now. 😅🫶

For this to be my first session, Merissa was very open to listening to my feelings. She didn’t judge she helped me to understand some of the things of why I am feeling and dealing with the things that I’m dealing with. I’m excited for the next session thanks, Merissa
