It takes such strength and bravery to start the process of counseling and I am so glad you have chosen to stop by and learn more about how I might be a partner for you in this process. I work with individuals using Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution-Focused approaches, meaning I work to help my clients identify unhelpful patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, create relevant goals to change those unhelpful patterns, and identify realistic steps to meet those goals. I approach every interaction with clients with warmth, genuine concern, and attentiveness in order to provide the best, most authentic care possible for each and every client. Some of my primary areas of work are on women's issues such as body image, disordered eating, eating disorder recovery, Intuitive Eating, pregnancy loss or miscarriage, and infant loss. I also have a passion for working to support individuals experiencing any large life transition and coping with everyday struggles with compassion. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, registered Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS), and a Licensed K-12 School Counselor in North Carolina, with over 13 years of experience in private practice, academic, and community settings.

I would like to share some professional information about myself. I am Christine Mercier, licensed in North Carolina as a clinical social worker and addiction specialist. I believe that entering into a therapeutic relationship is a very special and even sacred agreement to explore with people whatever life situation causes them to seek counseling. I value the qualities of compassion, empathy, and authenticity which, when provided in a safe environment that we create, provides the opportunity for self-exploration and implementation of positive changes. I believe that by assisting people to explore their authentic selves they can develop healthier relationships, increased self-esteem, and reduced feelings of anxiety and depression. During our work together, we may utilize techniques from various therapeutic approaches including mindfulness and Buddhist psychology: applying spiritual principles can often bring peace beyond what psychology alone can offer. Other approaches could include cognitive/behavioral, addiction-process, and motivational therapy. I am also willing to share my 40 years of experience personally and professionally in social work and nursing including my own life experiences if doing so would benefit the client.
