I specialize in psychotherapy (also known as talk therapy) and providing overall wellness support. Psychotherapy is meant to meet you where you are at, and to discuss specific problems and how your internal dialogue may be affecting your mood. I go at the pace my client sets, as it is important I walk alongside them on the therapeutic journey, not in front of them trying to lead. This will benefit you in allowing you to openly talk about what is going on for you, how it impacts you, and allows an opportunity to voice your truth.

Are my personal and emotional struggles, anxiety, and depression just “all in the mind” or is there a biological basis to it? Most psychotherapy theories only focus on the “mind” and often fail to address the biological causes and treatment of mental illness. As a psychopharmacologist, Dr Mervin is uniquely equipped to counsel people with mental disorders concerning all their antidepressant and medication-related issues. His integrative approach recognizes the importance of biological (medical & pharmacological), psychological (emotions, cognition's and behavior), social (family and community), and spiritual (faith and religion) factors.

I have unwavering confidence in your capabilities and potential, even when you find it hard to see them.

Are you feeling lost and alone? Struggling with overwhelming thoughts and emotions? If you're ready to take control of your mental well-being and find a path to healing, therapy can help.

With support and guidance, you can learn to manage these feelings and create a happier, more fulfilling life.

I use powerful techniques and a warm, empathetic approach to help my clients gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and provide them with the tools they need to succeed.

Using a personalized approach tailored to you, I help you discover what you need to flourish. As an engaged and empathetic listener, I provide a caring, supportive space to experiment and experience changes in action, thoughts, and belief.

I aspire to create an affirming and judgement-free environment where individuals feel safe expressing their experiences as everyone deserves to be heard and witnessed for who they are. I can provide practical guidance and support and I incorporate humour and humility into my practice. I view treatment as holistic and do not subscribe to a "one size fits all" approach. While there can be common symptoms, each person brings their own unique experiences and perspectives to the challenges which they are currently facing, because of this I will always work with you to design a practical and specific treatment plan designed just for you.

Do you feel depressed, anxious or stressed? I work hard to make sure that clients change for better, in one way or another---after seeing me. In psychotherapy, I respect each individual, couple, or family regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, culture, belief or religion. My clients would benefit from me because they would feel respected and valued in my therapy sessions; my approach involves clients to engage actively in the therapy process and yet I'm gentle and respectful. I remain objective and professional in my work but personable. I use various models of therapy including client-centered approach, cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic approach, and relational approach.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.
