Getting to know Laurel Mercer

Navigating relationship conflicts, feeling stuck in negative patterns with your partner, living with unresolved past hurts, and grappling with difficult transitions can profoundly impact your well-being. Beginning individual or couples therapy offers a meaningful pathway to help heal past wounds and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself and your loved ones. I specialize in helping individuals and couples enhance the quality of their relationships, process unresolved trauma, and develop a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from York University and have advanced training in trauma-informed therapy, Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which allows me to tailor your treatment to best suit your needs. Together, we'll work to deepen your understanding of yourself and your story so you can live a more connected, fulfilling life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I strive to create a warm, collaborative, thought-provoking, and experiential environment for my clients. My work with individuals and couples is grounded in the foundations of attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy, and relational psychotherapy. Your therapeutic experience will be tailored around your goals. Together, we will focus on what holds the utmost importance for you, and I will incorporate the modalities and frameworks that best align with your unique needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I offer a complimentary 20 minute consultation to better understand the presenting issues and to assess if we are a good fit. From there, we will set up an initial session to discuss your goals for therapy and will begin our work together. In our initial 60 minute session, I am interested in learning more about you, why you've decided to take the brave step into therapy, as well as understanding what your therapeutic goals are in our work together. I provide the space for you to ask questions about my practice approach, so that you have a sense of what your therapeutic journey may look like.
