Getting to know Meri Graham

Hi there, I'm Meri! My name is Meri Graham, LCSW. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I am passionate about providing inclusive care and a safe space for healing and self-discovery. I use evidence-based interventions and a holistic, collaborative, strength-based approach. I treat depression, anxiety, acute illness, mood disorders, and accept individual clients and couples. My approach I tailor interventions to each client’s unique needs. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and non-judgmental. I work within a client-centered, strengths-based, empowerment framework and use modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness-based interventions, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy. I help clients create meaning in joy and sadness, make sense of confusing feelings and behaviors, and facilitate self-awareness and insight to promote change and growth. I encourage self-discovery to challenge limiting beliefs that hold us back. I provide support and guidance toward emotional health and freedom, exploring underlying issues, challenging fear and unhealthy patterns, and helping regain agency and enjoyment in life to restore healthy functioning and the authentic self. My focus I have worked with a diverse client base with various diagnoses—including acute illness. I treat depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, dual diagnosis, psychosis, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar affective disorder. I facilitate self-awareness, insight, and skill building to help clients alleviate symptoms, navigate emotional and relational challenges, cope with crises, life stressors and transitions, traumatic stress, loss and grief, mental illness in family dynamics, parenting challenges, aging, body image, identity, and other issues.
