My name is Mershell Flinnon. I am a Master-Level Clinical Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. I have over 15 years experience working with individuals and families.
My goal is to create a therapeutic environment in which clients are free to express themselves without judgement. I use a various therapy interventions such as Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral to assist clients in overcoming trauma and barriers to change. My counseling style is diverse and based on individual needs and concerns. I believe no two clients are alike. Empowering clients and their families to develop the skills sets necessary to meet their personal goals is the ultimate goal of treatment.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
