Getting to know Erika Merla

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, or trauma that is affecting your thoughts and emotions? Is something currently interfering with your life, and you need help making sense of it? Counseling can provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to address your concerns and share your experience. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with 16 years of experience working with youth and adults from diverse populations. I take pride in assisting clients with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, and identity concerns. Together, we can identify what you want to experience and explore what may be holding you back. We will work collaboratively to develop new tools that help break unhelpful patterns and guide you toward living the life you want. I offer appointments online and in person for those residing in the Brownsville, TX area.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
