Getting to know Shavani Mercedes

Hi, I'm Shavani Mercedes, a Mental Health Counselor – Limited Permit (MHC-LP). I believe that every person has a unique story, and therapy offers the opportunity to better understand that story with compassion rather than judgment. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you feel comfortable exploring life's challenges while discovering your own strengths and resilience. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and stress. Together, we'll explore not only what you're experiencing in the present but also the patterns, relationships, and experiences that may have shaped where you are today. I believe that gaining insight into ourselves can create meaningful and lasting change, while also helping us build practical tools for everyday life. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual and integrates evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I work collaboratively with each client to create a treatment experience that aligns with their goals, values, and strengths. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult transition, processing past experiences, or seeking personal growth, I am committed to meeting you with empathy, curiosity, and respect. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they gain deeper self-understanding, strengthen their resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
