Let's work together towards giving yourself permission to put YOU first and knowing what you bring into this world is enough. Are you feeling sad but you're too ashamed or embarrassed to tell anyone? Do you put on a smile when all you want to do is cry? I know exactly what you're feeling: overwhelmed, pressured, anxious, afraid of being judged that you "don't have your shit together". Upholding an unrealistic expectation of self and societal pressure of "keeping it all together" is exhausting! and I don't want you to continue this cycle... I hear you, I see you!

Sometimes, you have to feel your feelings! I often say this to help alleviate the guilt of expressing myself- whether it be sadness, happiness, frustration, etc. Hello, my name is Marsaides Mercier. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been a therapist for 13 years, with initial experience as a case manager. So what brought me to the field of therapy? Of course, I wanted to be helpful to others, and I was told, "I give great advice." However, over time I have learned therapy is not about giving "good advice" but more about helping others find their way to feel what they feel without the guilt of it all.

As a licensed therapist, I am trained to deal with a wide range of issues that affect one's relationship with self and others, but I have special training in assisting individuals, couples and families to adjust to change and to reclaim their lives following an unexpected event whether the event is recent or occurred many years ago. Reclaiming your life involves imagining and taking action on what comes next so I look to you to define how life would look at its most optimum and focus on goals that will bring that vision into being.
