Merial Berry, LCSW, LSCSW

Merial listens and was extremely helpful in helping to reflect and identify things I was unable to identify before our sessions.

The first therapist I was matched with, was not a good fit. Honestly, I wasn't all that surprised because I have not had particularly positive experiences with therapists in the past.
THEN I MET MERIAL.
So far, I have only met with her online three times, but she is already changing my life!
I am not exaggerating. I absolutely recommend her to anyone!!!
She is so kind and observant and casual and has a way of offering insight that feels so refreshing!

Therapy is uncomfortable, but Merial is very good at pushing you to improve yourself and being kind and compassionate about the process

Mariel is very helpful. I need to work on my perspective. She helps a lot by having different perspectives and offers a fresh way to look at things. I also like her strength and confidence with the Bible. She often finds scripture that may be of help to me. She isn’t pushing it just offers scripture that might be helpful. She listens well and respects my opinion.

Merial is so personable and is a fantastic listener. We’ve done several video sessions and after every one I’ve been given something to work on for the week which has helped lessen my anxiety by a ton! She’s the best!

Mrs. Berry gets to the depth of your soul then brings you up with real life actions as well as biblical knowledge that encourages, supports, and gives you a goal to achieve. All these things allow you to walk in a newness of life knowing things are alright and get better with timely actions.

Merial did a great job at guiding meaningful discussion to aid in uncovering and making sense of certain thoughts and feelings I struggle with. Additionally, I’m left with resources I can think back to and look back on as reminders and refreshers if I feel old insecurities creeping back in. I enjoyed our sessions together and got a great deal of value out of them!
