I’m Tina Mergerson, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) under the supervision of Andrew McLane, LCSW-S. As a biracial counselor with a commitment to unconventional, outside-the-box thinking, I’m here to meet you where you are on your journey through life. Life can present challenges that feel overwhelming, but I believe in the power of change and growth. Whether you’re navigating life changes, seeking coping skills for anxiety and stress, or in need of a safe space for support, you’re not alone. Together, we can work through what’s been holding you back and help you become the best version of yourself. My therapeutic approach integrates solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and strength-based approaches. By developing new patterns of thinking and feeling, we can rewire our brains and create positive changes in behavior, thoughts, and actions. I specialize in addressing concerns such as aging, neglect/abuse, anxiety, depression, and grief. Using techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), I’ll assist you in developing new strategies to navigate life’s challenges and develop a new worldview. Your journey towards healing and growth is unique, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s collaborate and embark on this journey together. You’re stronger than you know, and together, we can overcome obstacles and create a brighter future.
