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.

Dr. Rue PLLC
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Do you feel like you’re always keeping it together on the outside, even when everything feels overwhelming inside? Maybe you’ve achieved so much, but the constant pressure to do more and be more never lets up. Do you find yourself replaying past experiences or carrying the emotional weight of things you thought you’d moved on from? Perhaps you’re caught in patterns like saying “yes” when you’re exhausted, avoiding conflict, or struggling to feel like you’re truly enough, no matter how much you do. These are the effects of trauma and high-functioning anxiety, and they can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected.
I specialize in helping individuals with high-functioning anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-doubt. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, I help clients break free from patterns that no longer serve them and create space for healing and growth. Together, we’ll challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling overwhelmed, build tools to manage stress, and reconnect you with your own needs and goals.
Therapy is more than just talking; it’s about real, actionable change. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, let’s connect. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today, and let’s work together to create a life where you feel calm, confident, and whole.

You may be facing a major life change or decision, either for yourself or for your family. In these situations, it can be challenging to tap into your own thoughts or cope with overwhelming emotions. It can be hard to know where to start, but you don't have to do it on your own!
