My therapy practice specializes in mood disorders, working with individuals, couples and families. I am also a Board Certified Executive Coach and specialize in business coaching and leadership development with an emphasis on Emotional Intelligence. Through a fun, collaborative relationship, there is always a way to address the issues you face and learn coping strategies to help you both right now and in the future. Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marital conflict, job stress, career and life transitions.

You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, low self esteem, navigating a life transition, or having relationship issues. Maybe you are grieving current events and changes in the world and have become overwhelmed by it all. Or maybe you are noticing old patterns repeating in your life and you are ready for change. You know deep inside that things can get better, but you aren't sure the way forward. I am here to support you in finding your way through.

Carrying the weight of anxiety, grief, disconnection from those around you, maybe even from yourself, can be overwhelming at times. It can be difficult to navigate these things alone. I believe in the power of the therapeutic, client-focused relationship as a catalyst for exploration and healing. My work with clients focuses on guiding people as they process life transitions, challenges and new opportunities. I walk alongside you in making a shift in your mindset to a place aligned with your core values and truth. I maintain a holistic perspective integrating mind, body, and spirit to empower every client in reaching his/her goals.

My name is Meryl Henry and I offer counseling services to teen girls and their families in Kirkland, Washington. Adolescence is an exciting time, but it can also be overwhelming, and sometimes even scary for both you and your teen. Your teen is test-driving his or her self-perceptions, caught between the safety and fun of being a kid and the responsibility and freedom of being a grown-up. In therapy, your teen will learn to better communicate emotional needs, gain self-confidence, establish safe boundaries in both friendships and romantic relationships, and identify values and priorities.

I am personally and professionally familiar with geek and gaming culture, and believe these experiences and identities have a place in a successful therapeutic relationship. Further, I have experience working with lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals, and all members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome clients. I believe in the power of community that is built on shared values and experiences. If you identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ and/or gaming communities and would like to explore these identities as part of your therapy experience, or you would simply prefer a therapist within these communities, we may be a good fit.

Life overwhelms us all at times. As a counselor, I meet you in those difficult parts of life, accompany you on your unique journey to redemption, healing and wholeness, helping you secure meaningful and lasting change. Together we name your problems and find their solutions; both the issues and the solutions are unique to you. Often we are pressured to "profile" ourselves-to label or describe ourselves in an way so that allows others to quickly "peg" who we are. But we are much more complex-- each of us has a story to tell. Each narrative has a distinctive trajectory.

I would like to start by saying the act of asking for help is often a frightful one especially in a society that can often demonize needing help. I respect the bravery necessary to be willing to open up and be vulnerable about difficult parts of your life and to embrace the desire to grow and heal. Depression, grief, anxiety, and more are all powerful forces and seeking help for those is an admirable act. By sharing a bit about my frame of practice and what my approach to care is; I hope I can help to alleviate some of the anxiety associated with starting your therapy journey.

My approach is based in the Existential-Phenomenological and Relational Psychodynamic traditions; however my practice is integrative and based on each client's unique needs and goals. I strive to create a trusting, welcoming, empathic and non-judgmental environment in which you explore what it means to be you, within the context of your experiences, values, relationships and worldviews. Through thoughtful dialogue and collaborative therapeutic relationship, we work to understand and challenge your assumptions and patterns, so that you make more confident choices and live in a way that is mindful and true to your authentic self.

I work with folks who experience challenges, such as trauma, anxiety, depression, sexuality, self-esteem, suicidality, behavioral concerns, and more. I meet you where you are to build a strong collaborative relationship. My goal is to create a space that provides unconditional support and empathy. It is important to me that you feel heard in a non-judgmental approach. I do not see myself as an expert on your life but merely someone crossing paths with you in your healing journey.

If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re struggling in some way right now. Maybe you’re looking for support or perspective during a particularly challenging time in your life, or hoping to finally address some long-standing issues and heal old wounds. Perhaps you’re wrestling with anxiety or stress, struggling in a relationship, dealing with creative blocks, or trying to redefine (or re-find) yourself. Or maybe you just feel stuck lately, and need somebody to talk to about things.

My clients tell me therapy has given them insights and practical skills that have helped them to navigate life with more ease. I aim to achieve these outcomes and growth for all of my clients, whether they have turned to therapy as a short-term stepping stone or a long-term process.

Ultimately, I strive to help all my clients foster a sense of resiliency and self-mastery, so they can show up for life without reservation-in body, mind and heart.
