Getting to know Kari Meric
If you’re exhausted from holding everything together for everyone else, you’re not alone, and I’m glad you found your way here. Maybe you’re the one everyone leans on. Maybe a big life change has you stressed and anxious. Or maybe you feel caught between who your family and culture expect you to be and who you feel like inside.
I work with adults, teens, and families on anxiety, stress, people-pleasing, caregiver burnout, relationship struggles, and identity. Together, we’ll explore your story and understand your patterns, including the ones passed down through generations. Then we’ll practice new ways of responding, at a pace that feels right for you.
We’ll balance understanding where a pattern came from with real tools you can use between sessions. That could look like setting a boundary without the guilt spiral, or calming your body when anxiety spikes. My approach is gentle with past hurts and focused on helping you feel safe and connected in your relationships.
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. With me, you can show up just as you are. I’ll offer warmth without judgment, and I’ll also gently challenge you when it will help you grow. Over time, you can learn to care for yourself as well as you care for others.
Ready to get started? Pick a time that works for you. In your first session, we’ll get to know each other and set goals together. I look forward to meeting you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself without judgment while we explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped you. Together, we'll work toward greater self-awareness, healthier coping, stronger relationships, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process begins with building a strong therapeutic relationship and understanding what brings you to therapy, your goals, and the experiences that have shaped you. Together, we identify areas of growth and create a treatment approach tailored to your unique needs. I use a collaborative, trauma-informed, and attachment-based approach, incorporating evidence-based interventions, mindfulness, and self-reflection. Throughout our work together, we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable while building greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful change.
