Merike Andre-Barrett, Licensed Mental Health Counselor

In my nearly 15 years as a trauma therapist, I have witnessed the depths of tremendous heartache, loss, pain, grief, confusion and loneliness. Alongside this, I have also witnessed the beautiful and transformative innate ability humans have to heal. In this healing journey, I act as a supportive mirror acknowledging your own inner wisdom. Together, we learn to trust the pace of your process, celebrating growth and recovery of your agency, self-awareness and self-compassion along the way.

I am committed to a strengths-based approach, honoring your unique perspective, experience and competence. I honor the connection between mind and body, acknowledging the complexity of intersecting identities and the importance of social justice in a culture that doesn’t always support the wholeness and health of all. I approach our work with respect and a spirit of collaboration and will bring curiosity, creativity and openness into each of our sessions meeting you where you are.

I am deeply honored to be entrusted to join you in your journey.
