Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you are feeling stuck in the same emotional patterns, struggling to adjust to changing circumstances, or finding yourself overwhelmed by the demands of life, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin to make meaningful changes.
I'm Dr. Megan Noren, a licensed clinical psychologist and the owner of Maitri Therapy Services. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that understanding our emotions can help us develop a deeper sense of self and create healthier relationships. I strive to provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel understood without judgment and explore the experiences that have shaped who you are.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and the mental load that can come with balancing competing demands. I have a particular interest in maternal mental health, including perinatal depression and anxiety and the emotional and identity shifts that accompany parenthood. I also welcome clients exploring questions of identity, self-worth, boundaries, and connection.
In our work together, we'll explore the emotions and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, make sense of painful experiences, and identify what you need to feel more grounded and connected. I draw primarily from Emotion-Focused Therapy, with additional approaches tailored to your needs and goals. My hope is to help you develop greater self-compassion, strengthen your relationships, and build the confidence to live in a way that feels more aligned with your values.
Maitri is a Sanskrit word associated with loving-kindness and benevolence. These ideas reflect the heart of my practice: creating space for connection, trust, courage, and compassion as you work toward healing and growth.
You don't have to navigate everything on your own. I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
