Rachel D. Merlin

I believe that therapy is a great option for individuals or families looking for help with specific issues, or those interested in delving deeper into their own psyche. I use an eclectic approach, drawing from many different theoretical orientations, and I tailor my method of treatment to each individual. It is my goal to make the client as comfortable as possible, so that he or she can feel at ease, and I collaborate with the client to set and achieve desired goals. I specialize in family conflict including transitions between life stages, and adolescent behavioral changes, relationship issues including infidelity, premarital counseling, marriage counseling, divorce, and post-divorce issues. I welcome clients suffering from depression, anxiety, anger management issues, and domestic violence. I was trained in hypnotherapy by the IACT. Hypnotherapy is a wonderful option for people who are looking for an alternative to classic psychotherapy, or for people looking to tackle such issues such as smoking cessation, weight loss, mending a broken heart, pain management, anxiety, and much more!
