I’m Dr. Deanna Mercado, a Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience walking alongside individuals, couples, and families in their healing journeys. My work is grounded in depth psychology, which means we look beyond surface symptoms to explore the underlying emotional patterns, relational wounds, cultural narratives, and unconscious dynamics shaping your life. I believe many struggles , anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, identity questions, or life transitions , are invitations to deeper understanding. In our work together, we will gently explore your personal history, family stories, and internal world to uncover meaning, strengthen self-awareness, and restore connection to your authentic self. My approach is reflective, relational, and culturally attuned. I hold space for the complexities of identity, ancestry, and lived experience, recognizing that healing happens not only within the individual, but in relationship to culture, community, and the larger story of your life.

Hello, I'm Sascha, Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked in the field of Mental Health for 10+ years. I have worked in many settings including county-based services, non-profit mental health, foster care, and schools. I believe that everyone knows what's best for them and what their goals are, but sometimes we just get...stuck. My favorite part of my work is having the opportunity to help clients identify what is causing them to struggle and then come up with ideas for navigating life's challenges.

I am a therapist who is deeply committed to understanding the “why” behind my clients’ experiences. I work with individuals and couples who are navigating trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, racial stressors, self-esteem struggles, and the quiet weight of daily burdens that can leave a person feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. In my work, I use intentional, reflective techniques that help clients reach deep within to uncover who they were before trauma, disappointment, and life’s obstacles began to shape their narrative. I believe healing begins when a person feels safe, secure, and genuinely cared for. From that place of safety, we are able to rediscover identity, restore confidence, and reconnect with purpose. I empower my clients to move beyond limiting beliefs that keep them small and instead step into the greatness they were always meant for. Much of the sorrow many of us carry stems from a longing to truly know ourselves, trust ourselves, and believe we are worthy. My role is to walk alongside each person with humility and curiosity, honoring their unique story while helping them strengthen their voice, build self-trust, and create meaningful change in their lives and relationships. Whether working with individuals seeking personal growth and life satisfaction, or couples striving to find their relationship voice and reconnect with one another, I strive to create a therapeutic space where healing is possible, resilience is nurtured, and transformation becomes sustainable.

Life can be heavy and hard to cope sometimes. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and painful life experiences can make it hard to feel safe, connected, or understood. Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change.

For those who struggle with decision-regret and anxiety around making the perfect choice, picking a therapist is three steps into the therapy already - if you're here reading this and that's you, I commend you as your therapy has already begun. Anxious and seemingly uncontrollable thoughts, "imposter syndrome", endless struggles to be perfect, only to be met with guilt and regret; all uncomfortable things that we humans try to avoid and control, yet all of that avoiding and controlling just doesn't seem to do any good. You're here to learn better ways to manage these experiences, and that's where I can help. I leverage 14 years of clinical experience as an adjunct professor in clinical social work and as a therapist in the public and private sectors in Canada, the US and Australia to assist my clients.

I am a down-to-earth and collaborative therapist who believes that the foundation of effective healing is a genuine, honest connection. I prioritize creating a transparent environment where you feel heard and respected, allowing us to work as true partners in your mental health journey. My approach is grounded in the belief that therapy is most effective when it is practical, straightforward, and focused on your unique reality. In our sessions, I value honesty and the identification of healthy, realistic goals. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), where we work together to uncover the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By identifying irrational thinking patterns and challenging negative self-talk, we can begin to reframe your narrative in a way that serves your growth rather than hindering it. I understand that starting therapy can feel like a significant step, which is why I focus on providing a non-judgmental space where we can tackle challenges at your pace. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, daily stress, or life transitions, my goal is to provide you with a functional toolkit of strategies you can use long after our sessions end.

When booking a session with me you can expect to be greeted with openness and comfortability. I am a very personable person and aim to ease you into our therapy journey. I provide a safe, relaxing environment where you will feel comfortable uncovering the issues you are experiencing. My approach is calming and kind, and because of my personality I focus on positive outcomes. I believe you have the capability to relearn negative thinking and behaviors that have contributed to life's struggles. My experience covers adults and adolescents in areas of trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, grief/loss, infertility, adoption, life transitions, and suicidal ideation/attempted recovery. I know therapy can be scary and intimidating, however with me you will feel like I really do care and understand what you are trying to say. My goal is that you leave your session feeling positive and empowered to take the next step in your healing journey.

Hello all! I really enjoy meeting people where they are in their life journey and using a nonjudgmental approach to help them get out of life what they want. My last position was working for the last few years with high risk foster youth that struggled with extreme behaviors. Currently I work with prenatal and postpartum mothers experiencing housing insecurity. In my personal life I am a wife and mother to two beautiful girls. I live in Santa Cruz and love being on the beach and taking my girls on adventures.

Hello, my name is Megan. I appreciate you taking the leap to want to do something different in your life. I know how hard talking about some of these big life issues can be like the death of our person, living through the struggle of infertility and acknowledging the weight of our anxiety is too much. Sometimes, we are stuck in our loop and yet, we do not have the perspective how to shift the big feelings to make you start to feel better. In the beginning of working together, I want you to feel comfortable sharing your story. Everyone arrives wanting a witness to their grieving at different stages of their process. Your relationship is to different each person had a different relationship to their person. I believe the importance of listening to what is said in the room or what is not said. Many times we are not able to verbalize our pain of trying to live without our person. I think a very necessary part to our healing is to be witnessed by another. My goal is to always create safety in the room. I am a fairly transparent therapist sharing sometimes my personal journey to connect and help clients realize they are not alone in their pain. I look forward to joining you in your healing journey.

If you struggle with anxious attachment, people pleasing, setting boundaries, feeling triggered, anger, anxiety, depression, co-dependence, parenting issues, and ADD/ ADHD, then I want to work with you. These symptoms and attachment style are often related to each other and often related to similar childhood experiences of inconstant or abusive/neglectful caregivers. (ADD and ADHD is not cause by caregivers, however, when it goes undiagnosed in children, there is s strong correlation to symptoms described above)
