Getting to know Merceline Mutiso

Hi there, I'm Merceline! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping clients transform their lives by building on their existing strengths. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and substance use disorders, using a strength-based approach to support my clients as they progress toward the life they envision. My approach In my therapy practice, I use a client-centered and strength-based approach to nurture clients' inherent strengths and resources. I focus on identifying these strengths to help overcome unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. I also employ a holistic, individualized strategy that considers each client's physical, mental, and emotional health, working collaboratively with them and using evidence-based treatments to address their specific concerns effectively. My focus I have worked with adults, adolescents, and families from diverse communities, gaining experience in treating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and substance use disorders. My communication style Listening is my favorite skill. I attentively listen to my clients’ words and emotions, using nonverbal cues to show empathy. I practice reflective listening and paraphrasing for clarity. In sessions, I create a non-judgmental space, encouraging clients and acknowledging their progress to build confidence and motivation. My journey to mental healthcare I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University and hold a Bachelor’s degree from Clark Atlanta University. Though my main work experience is in the U.S., I have also worked with international organizations like the United Nations. My passion for travel and engaging with diverse backgrounds has enriched my career. My listening skills and belief in everyone’s inherent strengths guide my counseling approach. From a young age, people felt comfortable sharing their stories with me, inspiring me to pursue counseling.
