**** THANK YOU FOR BOOKING WITH SAMANTHA MERSE. WITHIN 48 HOURS FROM BOOKING, YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM TO COMPLETE A 5-10 MINUTE PRE-SCREEN. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO REACH YOU, YOUR APPOINTMENT WILL BE CANCELED.**** The provider is a “Licensed Professional Counselor" and their license number is 37PC01135400 My ideal client is someone who is motivated and ready to work on themselves. They attend each session as scheduled and on time, coming with an open mind and a willingness to grow. Ideally, this client is an adult within the LGBTQIA+ community seeking to better understand and improve themselves. Common concerns include depression, anxiety, and questions around gender and sexual identity. I hold a Master’s degree in Art Therapy Counseling from Caldwell University, and I use a DBT-focused approach combined with my experience as an art therapist to support my clients. I help clients explore their identity and promote self-expression through art, which can be a powerful way to convey emotions when words are difficult. Additionally, I draw on my knowledge of coping skills to assist clients in emotional regulation. Mental health advocacy is essential, and as counselors, we must do all we can for those seeking help. I encourage any client to reach out and take that first step toward healing—whether that means working with me or finding another counselor who is the right fit. Asking for help is the beginning of getting better.
