About Mercedes

I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or navigating painful life transitions and want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort things out. I commonly support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, suicidal thoughts, and challenges related to substance use. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and rooted in existential and humanistic perspectives. I believe people have an innate capacity for healing and growth, even when it feels out of reach. I also have specialized training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), psychedelic integration, and domestic violence recovery. Whether you're ready to begin therapy or simply exploring your options, you're welcome to reach out. We'll move at your pace and figure out what support looks like for you.
