Getting to know Mercedes ClarkeWright

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping adults navigate anxiety, emotional overwhelm, overthinking, relationship stress, and life transitions. I’ve worked in diverse clinical settings with individuals from many different backgrounds, which has helped me develop a flexible, down-to-earth approach to therapy that meets people where they are. I believe therapy should feel supportive, real, and collaborative — not intimidating or overly clinical. Many adults grew up in environments where emotions were minimized, dismissed, or discouraged.In adulthood, this often shows up as overthinking, difficulty expressing emotions in relationships, shutting down during conflict, anxiety in intimacy, low self-worth, and patterns of emotionally unhealthy relationships. In my work, I specialize in helping adults gently recognize and understand these emotional patterns without judgment or pressure to “fix everything at once.” Instead, we focus on building awareness, slowing things down, and creating space to respond differently over time. My goal is to help you feel more grounded in yourself, more connected in your relationships, and more confident in how you navigate your emotional world.

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.
