Merrill Friday is a dedicated therapist who specializes in working with adolescents and young adults. With over 15 years of experience in the field, she recognizes the critical need for additional support that often extends beyond traditional school counseling. Many young people start their journey by seeking help, but school systems may not always provide the necessary time and attention to address the pressing issues they face, such as depression, anxiety, and self-harm. By prioritizing early intervention, clients can achieve greater success in navigating life's challenges. Merrill employs a non-judgmental approach that allows clients to feel at ease as they embark on their therapeutic journey. She collaborates with them to identify strengths and weaknesses, helping them overcome obstacles that hinder their growth. Through her expertise in problem-solving, healthy decision-making, and goal setting, she fosters increased self-awareness in her clients. The rise of mental health issues, particularly exacerbated by the impact of Covid-19, highlights the importance of seeking support during emotionally turbulent times. Merrill is passionate about helping individuals uncover pathways for change and personal development, empowering them to cultivate a balanced, fulfilling life.
