Hi! My name is Merceydes and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I am also an adjunct professor of psychology at FIU. I am a behaviorist with a solutions focused and psychoeducational approach which means that I will not spend a lot of time talking about your childhood or your feelings. Instead I want to help you analyze your current problem, figure out what causes these problems and then find solutions to them. Once we have figured out the solutions, my job is to help you make the necessary changes to your environment, your expectations or your own behavior. I also like to teach clients more about their mental health issues and provide them with self help tools to use in the future. I am especially committed to helping people develop coping strategies that allow them to reduce or eliminate their use of psychotropic medications.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Autism and Asperger Syndrome, BDSM, Kink, Alternative Sex Culture, Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Control issues, Drug and Alcohol Addiction, Eating and Food-Related Issues, Emptiness, Family Problems, First Responder Issues, Impulsivity, Intellectual Disability, Isolation / loneliness, Men's issues, Military and Veterans Issues, Mood disorders , Narcissism, Obsessions, Compulsions, and OCD, Personality Disorders, Phobias, Postpartum Depression, Process addiction (porn, exercise, gambling), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Sexual Dysfunction, Sexuality, Smoking/Vaping Cessation, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues, Workplace issues, Young Adult Issues

I’ve had a hard time connecting with therapists in the past but Merceydes is so great it feels like just talking to a friend which makes me feel safe to share whatever it is I’m going. After a few sessions I already feel like she has helped so much.

Merceydes is a fantastic therapist. Our sessions don't feel like a stodgy doctor's office going over the same boring stuff, but instead it's like a friend who is very knowledgeable about how to help myself deal with my own issues. She is absolutely a great therapist, and I thank her already for bettering myself.
