About Merissa
A little more human. A little less “have it all together.”
I’m Merissa Mathews, LCSW. I know what it can be like to feel deeply, work hard to keep up, and wonder why things still feel so difficult.
My approach
Understanding the why can change what comes next.
I was drawn to psychology because I wanted to understand what makes us human. Trauma work led me beyond talk therapy and toward approaches that include the body, attachment, and the many parts of ourselves that learned to survive.
I’m also neurodivergent. I bring that part of myself to this work with care and honesty. You do not need a polished version of your story to begin.
My practice draws on EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS-informed parts work, and attachment-based therapy. Together, we can make sense of your experience without treating you as broken.
