Getting to know Steven Merino

My name is Steven Merino, and I am a dedicated and compassionate Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience in counseling and social work. I hold a Master's degree in Forensic Mental Health Counseling from John Jay College of Criminal Justice and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of New York. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, supporting clients who face challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, trauma, and relationship issues. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices designed to empower individuals to achieve personal growth, healing, and emotional well-being. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop insight, and build the tools necessary to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.

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.
