Hi, if you are looking for a trauma informed therapist, you’ve found one.
My name is Dr. Ramona Merchan, DSW, LCSW. As a licensed clinician, I've advocated for marginalized communities throughout my career and I'm honored to provide a safe and brave, therapeutic space for my clients to express themselves openly without judgment. To empower themselves to reach their fullest potential by providing individual and group psychotherapy. My goal is to make therapy accessible and approachable for all.
I have extensive experience in working with diverse populations across the lifespan.
From a client-centered, trauma-informed approach, I help clients to gain a deeper understanding of the origins of their pain, exploring the intersections of identity, and most importantly, rediscovering their authentic selves. My style of therapy is to connect, be authentic and transparent, and transform strengths into sustainable change.
Change can be scary but so is staying the same. Laurie Buchanan said, "Whatever you are not changing ... you are choosing".
Allow me to support you on your journey forward. Sending positive thoughts.
