Life throws curve balls, and sometimes life feels like a giant one that you can’t seem to get away from. All the while, you are managing all of the responsibilities that come with being a human in this fast paced society. Reaching out for help can allow you to have the space to slow things down, devise a plan to overcome obstacles, realize your potential, and reach your goals.

Journeying through life we face unique adventures, some are welcoming,some are not. Some adventures can be overwhelming, we may struggle with what we are feeling. When asked, how are you doing? We often respond with, I'm fine, never better, or doin' great, or something like that, even when it is not true. The reality may be just the opposite. We avoid the truth of how we are really doing, maybe we feel that it doesn't really matter, or we don't want to burden others, or appear weak, or that we don't have it all together. For whatever reason we believe these thoughts, it is okay to not have it all together. It is okay to seek help.

Sometimes we wake up and feel like things aren't right. We might feel stuck or that things are out of control. We might have a lot of conflicting emotions that we do not know how to regulate. We might feel alone and feel like the world is against us. It takes strength and courage to take that first step to ask for help. I want to thank you and applaud you for taking that first important step.

At times we all struggle with life changes such as job change or loss, the ending of a relationship, the loss of a loved one, parent-child conflict, or family-marital conflict. These changes can cause feelings of sadness, depression or anxiety. I look forward to working with clients who are seeking help with navigating life's ups and downs.

Hello! My name is Lisa Merchant and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Currently I am only accepting individuals and couples with issues related to aggression. My counseling style involves asking lots of questions, listening intently, and providing feedback that is unique to your situation, rather than offering one-size-fits all advice. I also facilitate the Batterer Intervention and Prevention Program (BIPP) at the Ministry of Counseling. This a 24-week group intervention for domestic violence. I also offer an 8-week Family Violence Education Course as a court-approved alternative to Anger Management.

Life does not come with an instruction manual. We often ask ourselves, “Where do I go from here,” and that’s okay! It can be challenging to navigate life's curveballs because we don't know how or we don't feel like we deserve to find healing. Each person’s journey towards healing is different, but everyone deserves a space where they can begin that journey.

Listen, if mob boss Tony Soprano can give therapy a try, don’t you think you can too? Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. In fact, there are lots of connections there. Life is full of all kinds of stressors and problems; therapy is a safe space to unpack and heal. “You’re only as sick as your secrets”...is something I’ve always heard that I take to mean that it’s important to get the thoughts swirling around in your head, out. I love my job. I love getting to know people. My clients are my top priority.

My orientation toward therapy is grounded in a humanistic perspective that holds individuals are inherently motivated toward well-being and self-actualization. Given a safe and supportive environment, I believe, most individuals embrace opportunities and insight to work toward changing negative patterns in their lives and to find hope and healing. From an advocacy orientation, we will utilize empowerment strategies and identify external barriers that inhibit individual development and self-advocacy skills and work through traumatic experiences and impacts from life experiences to return you to healthy functioning.

There are many changes and adjustments in life that affect us in different ways. People have a wide range of emotions which can be overwhelming. Although life can be challenging to manage, we are presented with opportunities to grow. My counseling style is empathetic and genuine. Understanding and creating an atmosphere of support and empathy to be one's genuine self is important to me. Providing the opportunity for a more authentic self is a stepping stone to confidence. My goal is to provide you with a safe place to tell your story and I'm happy you're here.

Therapy is a journey of growth and change, with each day offering a fresh start. Person-centered therapy places the client at the center, with the therapist as a guide. As the expert in their own life, the client holds the power in this process. While supportive, the counseling relationship has limitations, including the therapist's expertise, time constraints, confidentiality, and boundaries, to name a few. The duration of therapy can vary from short-term to long-term, depending on the client's needs and goals. I mainly use a person-centered approach to counseling, CBT, and SFBT.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
