Valarie Merced, LMHC

Psychotherapist
18 E 16th St, New York, NY
My goal is to support you in creating a thriving relationship with life. I integrate existential-humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, and mindfulness practices in my work. My gentle yet direct style supports healthy boundaries while expanding tolerance for discomfort. My practice is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and welcomes ALL. Everyone deserves to be valued and understood. Together, we'll foster healing, liberation, and authentic connections. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. My practice focuses on healthy sexuality, relationship dynamics, and affirming alternative lifestyles such as ethical non-monogamy, kink communities, sex workers, and paraphilias.
