Valarie Merced, LMHC

My goal is to support you in creating a thriving relationship with life. I integrate humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, and mindfulness practices in my work. My gentle yet direct style supports healthy boundaries while expanding tolerance for discomfort. My practice is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and welcomes ALL. Everyone deserves to be valued and understood. Together, we'll foster healing, liberation, and authentic connections.

My practice focuses on healthy sexuality, relationship dynamics, and affirming alternative lifestyles such as ethical non monogamy, kink communities, sex workers, and paraphilias.
