I have been in the mental health field for 16 years from in-home counseling to forensic counseling. This past year I recently got Licensed and opened my own private practice. I have extensive training in Trauma, depression, and anxiety. I’m a big believer that Borderline Personality Disorder stems from trauma and the characteristics one has needed to adapt to in order to function/survive.

Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.

Hola, I’m Mercedes. I’m a bilingual (English | Spanish) psychotherapist who supports individuals navigating Anxiety, Trauma, and significant life transitions. My approach incorporates somatic principles to help you develop greater Self-Awareness by listening to what your body is communicating.

I understand how easy it can be to lose touch with yourself when you’ve spent so much time surviving, adapting, or staying strong. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel truly understood, and reconnect with yourself so you can make decisions that feel more aligned with who you are and where you want to go.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Erie

Searching for therapists in Erie starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to address. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and life changes. As you compare Erie PA therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs. A therapist may list experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, or faith-informed care such as Christian counseling.

In a smaller city like Erie, local therapy options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can add more choice, especially if you want a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania who fits your schedule or has experience with a specific concern. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their therapy style. Bios can help you understand what sessions may be like and whether a therapist’s communication style seems like a fit.

Therapy in Erie can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket price before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists in Erie, PA who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, check insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
