Your life experiences, values, culture and interests are what make you a unique individual. Sometimes people get wrapped up in fear,anxiety and feelings of isolation, and not seen or heard by others. My goal as a therapist is to assist you in overcoming obstacles to a happy and healthy life. I will focus on your unique personality and individual needs in order to provide care that enhances your quality of life and overall well-being.
I meet my clients where they are and we work collaboratively to insure that you are working towards your goals and addressing your unique needs as this is your life, and you are reaching out to enhance your day to day experiences. I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma informed practice. I offer a safe and open environment to explore & heal.
We all deserve to be heard and understood, and we all have the ability to heal and live our best life!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristi Mersino. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I’ve only had one session so far with Kristi but I believe she understands what I need and I think she’s going to be vital in my healing process. Looking forward to working with her more in the future.

Kristi is compassionate, intelligent, thoughtful, and personable. I look forward to connecting with her each week. She is a great listener, and I welcome and appreciate her input and reflection. She is supportive and practical, with experience and confidence.

Kristi has gone above and beyond in working with me - even educating herself on topics new to her in order to better understand and help me. I've bounced between therapists and psychologists and psychiatrists my whole life, and I've never met anyone who listens like Kristi does, who *cares* like she does. She's dedicated, wickedly funny, and stays up to date on new research; she always has a variety of resources across different mediums, to offer, catering them to what I need and can handle at any given time.
For the first time ever, I feel like I've found someone who can really help me. I can't express how grateful I am for Kristi.

Kristi has been more than helpful and insightful with my personal journey. I find her knowledgeable and grounding and a safe soundboard to bring my feelings and concerns too.
