Finding the right fit.
Greetings! I am Dr. Erica Merrill licensed clinical mental health counselor. I believe in engaging clients through a wellness paradigm and tend to shy away from pathologizing. I prefer to relate to clients and students through the lens of compassion, curiosity, and respect. While diagnosis can lend an excellent foundation to better understand a variety of human conditions, it's important to recognize that diagnosis does not define us. I offer a direct and respectful approach to personal and relational exploration. Click below to learn more about me.

SESSION TIMES & FEES:
Typical therapy sessions are 50-60 minutes long. I recommend that clients come once per week when first beginning. It’s common to decrease frequency once momentum is established and you feel you are making progress towards your goals. Intensive sessions will last 90-120 minutes. Frequency will be determined and established together in a manner that best fits your needs but typically span 2-3x a week for 2-4 weeks total.
Fees range from $200-$300/hour depending on the type of service provided. Retreat fees are paid in two increments and reflect the all-inclusive design.
Fees are due at the time of service in the form of debit/credit card or Health Saving Account. I use Ivy Pay which is a HIPAA compliant payment platform. Contact me to see if you qualify for a reduced rate.
