I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection. My mission is to meet you exactly where you are—emotionally, mentally, or spiritually—and walk with you toward inner peace, self-love, and compassion. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. Whether you're processing trauma, managing difficult emotions, or striving for healthier relationships, I offer a supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Therapist

I believe that healing happens through genuine connection. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I strive to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where clients feel heard, understood, and accepted. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, relationship challenges, and low self-esteem.

My goal is to meet you where you are. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, we’ll work together to better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and move toward the life you want to create. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, empowering, and tailored to your unique needs.

Mery Franco Johnson

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Welcome! I'm glad you're here.

"Sometimes the hardest part of asking for help is not knowing if the person across from you will understand where you come from. I'm Mery, a bilingual, bicultural Latina clinical social worker, and I created my practice as a space where you do not have to explain your culture before we get to the real work. I work with adults and seniors carrying grief, a chronic health diagnosis, the exhaustion of motherhood, or stress that will not let up. Many of my clients are managing more than one of these at once, often while caring for others. I meet you there, in English or in Spanish, and we build a plan that fits your life."
