Licensed Social Work

Hi! My name is Emily Merhaut. I offer therapy services at our South Side Flats clinic.

I am a licensed social worker with experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, navigating a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. I am dedicated to creating a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you will feel heard and understood. My approach is flexible and tailed to each person. I draw from CBT, solution focused therapy, and motivational interviewing to help individuals develop practical skills they can use in their everyday lives. I focus on what feels realistic and meaningful to each individual.

I often support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, mood changes, and anger related concerns. Many of the individuals I work with are trying to make sense of big emotions, handle stress at home and school, and build healthier ways of coping and communicating. My space will always be empathetic and welcoming to all individuals.

I aim to foster a safe, trauma informed, and engaging environment where you can express yourself openly and feel empowered in the therapeutic process. I believe in meeting you where you are, building on your strengths, and working together to create long lasting, sustainable, and positive change, whatever that may look like for you.
