Getting to know Michele Merdinger

Welcome! Congratulations on beginning this path. I am here to support you every step of the way. As a queer-identified therapist, I specialize in providing support for individuals navigating chronic illness, loss, and grief, as well as those experiencing mood disorders. My therapeutic approach is warm and non-judgmental, and I strive to be that source of support, compassion, and encouragement for my clients while also teaching them valuable skills that allow them to access these tools within themselves. I listen with an open mind help you to develop your own personal wisdom and achieve meaningful change. My approach is psychodynamic, and strength based. I'm interested in the events of your everyday life, personal history, and how these aspects of your story relate to each other. I will help you to identify and build upon strengths you already have.

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.
