Charlene Mercer
AjouterLet's face it, finding the right therapist can feel a lot like online dating. Sifting through a sea of bios and photos, trying to get a sense of who will be the RIGHT FIT for your therapeutic journey. There are plenty of great therapists out there, and we all have something different to offer. You're right to invest this much time and energy in finding the perfect match because the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors for your progress. In fact, studies show that a good therapist-client relationship can improve therapy outcomes by up to 30% (Norcross & Lambert, 2018). On that note, I have done my best to outline information about my practice to help you in your decision.

What You Can Expect From Our Sessions Together
Team Work
I believe that we are a team with the same goals (your goals). Think of us digging a
tunnel… exploring together: as the expert on your own life, you’ll hold the shovel and dig, while I
hold the light and guide the way. My view is that the therapeutic journey isn’t about changing who
you are but discovering more about yourself and then showing up in life in the way you really want
to.
Fun
While therapy can be serious and sometimes feel challenging, I also believe in having
some fun along the way. We’ll use different tools and methods, like Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Existential
Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy and even life coaching techniques. This variety
makes it possible to customize your therapeutic journey to you.
Practical and Useful
I believe therapy is a worthy investment that should be practical and helpful so you get
the sense that it’s worth your efforts (and money). You may even be surprised that the
the journey towards your goals might be shorter than you imagine.
What You Will Not Find from Our Sessions
No Diagnosing or Prescribing Medications
I don’t provide diagnoses or prescribe medications. You’re welcome to bring in any
diagnoses or use such terminology if it’s helpful for you, but my role doesn’t involve
using medication to treat clients. Many people find medication beneficial, but prescribing
it is not a part of my practice.
No Couches Here
Contrary to popular media portrayals, therapy with me does not involve lying on a
couch. We sit in chairs, and sometimes even move around. Going for walks outside is
also an option.
Not Just for Crisis
Therapy isn’t only for crises or severe mental health issues. It can be beneficial for
personal growth, managing stress, improving relationships, and more.
Not Just Talking
While talking is an important part of therapy, it’s not the only component. Therapy often
involves a variety of techniques and activities designed to help you develop skills and
insights.
Non Judgmental
We are all human. Our sessions will be held in a safe, non-judgmental space; you will never be
criticized or judged for your feelings, thoughts, or behaviors. The goal is to provide support and
understanding.
Not One-Size-Fits-All
There is no single approach to therapy that works for everyone. Sessions are
customized to fit your individual needs and preferences, which means we may use
different techniques and terminologies that work for you.
What Makes Me the Right Fit for Your Therapeutic Journey?
Education
I hold two Master's degrees: the first with a focus on Adult Learning and the second in
Counselling Psychology. Additionally, I hold a diploma in Respiratory Therapy. This
“mixed” academic background supports my practical experience in helping others.
Experience
With 20 years experience in healthcare and education, I bring a diverse background to
my work as a psychotherapist. Starting as a Respiratory Therapist, I've worked in
hospitals, homes, and classrooms, learning to understand and adapt to different
cultures. I've also trained healthcare teams internationally and managed hospital
operations abroad. Now, as a psychotherapist, I blend my clinical skills with cultural
awareness to better support my clients. My journey has taught me to empathize and
connect with people from all walks of life, making me uniquely equipped to help others
in today's globalized world.
Interests
I’m a bit of a nerd, and am passionate about continuous learning, particularly in the
areas of the mind-body connection, neuroscience, all things wellness, and mental
health. This drive allows me to continually expand my skill set and knowledge, providing
a wide range of resources to support my clients.
Personal Approach
I offer a compassionate and holistic approach to therapy, understanding that each
person's journey is unique. My diverse background allows me to remain curious and
open to different perspectives, experiences, and values, creating a supportive
environment for clients to explore their emotions safely.
Who Do I Work With?
I love working with people from all walks of life, and sometimes it;s hard to specify the
exact types of clients I work with since I open to tackling a variety of challenges and
goals. However, it can be helpful to understand where my experience lies:
Age Range
I work exclusively with adults and teenagers, with age 12 being the youngest. I
consider. My primary experience is with adults aged 18 and older.
Types of Challenges
I address a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges, including but not
limited to:
Parenting Challenges
Postpartum Challenges
Anxiety and Depression
Grief and Loss
Life Transitions (such as moving, job loss, divorce, or relationship breakdown)
Self-Esteem and Self-Worth Issues
Body Image Concerns
Adults with Childhood Pain and Suffering
Mild to Moderate Traumatic Experiences
A Special Note on Couples/Relationship Work
As humans, we are biologically wired for connection, and we are each deeply affected by those around us. One of my passions is working with people in who are experiencing challenges, complications, or roadblocks in relationships. Whether you are navigating the complexities of a romantic relationship, familial bonds, or friendships, I am here to help. Relationship work is one of my passions, weather its working with all the members of the relationship or an individual who wants to experience relationship differently, I believe relationship
work can often provide a space for significant progress.
I look forward to our work
together!
