Hello there,
I understand that the idea of starting therapy with a stranger might feel overwhelming. So let me try to tell you a few things about myself. You can also Contact me for a free-chat if you want to know more.
My name is Mercy (ምሕረት), I was born in the ancient land of Ethiopia and raised by many. I grew up close to Nature, seeking wisdom in its teachings and observing life's ebbs and flows. Since my childhood, I have been captivated by the intricacies of human behaviour: what motivates us, how we experience emotions, the thoughts that occupy our minds, and the ever-elusive 'why'. This curiosity has been the guiding force in my journey from a psychologist to developmental psychologist and now, finding my stride as a Gestalt therapist (detailed information here).
Life has taken me on diverse paths across cultures and continents, giving me a rich childhood and complex adulthood. Through these experiences, I have developed intuition—an ability to recognize what is important, the figure in the shadow, and the heart of things—an intuition I bring into our therapy sessions.
In our therapy room, you will encounter an integrative approach, drawing from various modalities. More importantly, you will meet me a nonjudgmental, curious, and empathetic person. I am genuinely eager to hear your story and share my honest perspective. Whether you are carrying a burden alone or seeking clarity on an issue, I am here to meet you as you are. Together, we will explore at a pace and with modalities that suit you best.
I look forward to the opportunity to connect and support you on your unique journey.
Warm regards,
Mercy
