Intro

Hi there! My name is Meryl, and I'm a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. I enjoy helping individuals struggling with anxiety and/or depression, as well as managing the day to day challenges of life. I often work with individuals from the LGBTQ+ community and I am sensitive to the struggles and needs of this population. I utilize evidenced-based approaches such as CBT, DBT/mindfulness, and person-centered therapy in conjunction with having a non-judgmental and caring perspective.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I have personal experience with some of the day to day challenges of having a brain that functions uniquely. I desire to use my personal experience to help others navigate the challenges (and advantages!) of being neurodivergent.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I strive to create a safe environment for people to be themselves. I want our sessions to be a place where you don't feel the need to mask, and together we can work through any struggles you may be facing. I am committed to helping my clients become the truest version of themselves and thrive while being authentically themselves!
