Giovanni Mercado

Tired, Sad, Hurting, Unheard, and Overwhelmed. These are just a few words that many people are feeling at this exact moment. The pain of any one of these words alone can be demoralizing by itself. As a person who has overcome my own mental health issues, I feel I bring an unmatched level of compassion, grace, and guinenie care into every session. Let’s work together to find you the peace, healing, and connection you unconditionally deserve. By no means will it be easy but as the saying goes “nothing worth doing is easy” and the time has come to recognize that you are worth the effort.

Whether you are experiencing relationship stress, depression & anxiety, or a mixture of different emotions due to life circumstances, I am here to meet you where you’re at and work alongside you to find a unique approach that fits your needs for healing/growth. Modalities I pull from include but not limited to CBT, Existential, and Structural therapy.

I’m originally from Florida but now find myself in this beautiful state. I enjoy spending my off time playing disc golf or cycling through the mountains. I like to think of myself as an ordinary person who happens to enjoy everything from Nascar to Philosophy. I hope we get an opportunity to build a beautiful therapeutic relationship.
