Getting to know Merrett Sheridan

Hi there, I'm Merrett! I can help with self-esteem, co-dependency, setting boundaries, work/life balance, caregiver burnout, dysfunctional family dynamics, existential concerns, and life transitions. I am a licensed Psychotherapist in California and Nevada. I earned a Bachelor’s in Psychology from UC Berkeley and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. My approach Therapy is client-driven; you lead the process, bringing whatever is present in each session. I use positive psychology, solution-focused, and existential approaches to help you understand your experience and find solutions. My focus I work best with clients motivated for change and willing to show up for themselves, even when unsure how or why. Those open to exploring growth and shifting from survival to thriving will benefit most. My communication style I practice active listening with compassion and no judgment. I can be directive and share personal experiences when helpful. We’re all figuring life out, and I strive to be a humble yet knowledgeable guide. My journey to therapy I’ve always been fascinated by what makes people “tick.” My first internship was on a suicide and crisis hotline. I’ve worked in outpatient and inpatient settings, including as a clinical director. I understand feeling vulnerable and unsure of this process and how life-changing it can be. My goals for you Progress shows when clients believe their lives are improving. Obstacles feel less daunting, and they connect more with their strengths and ability to use them. My first session with you We’ll explore your reasons for therapy, set goals or develop some if you’re unsure. I’ll answer your questions about me or the process and set the tone for our journey.
