Sonja Merz, MA, LMFT

I specialize working with couples, individuals and families. I support each individual's life style choices and will help you achieve your chosen goals. When there is full understanding of a problem, yet find the same cycle recreated, I will help you successfully break out of the emotional cycles that are difficult to alter. I offer a safe place to explore concerns about relationships, parenting, marriage, transition, occupation, separation, depression, stress, trauma, and anxiety. I specialized in internal family system, human development, and healing trauma since 1995.

I accept many insurance policies. Please check with your insurance company to inquire what costs are covered under your plan. My fee is $125 for 50 minute sessions. For additional information please visit my website

My main theoretical Influences are Interpersonal Neurobiology, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Emotionally Focused Therapy helps to effectively breaks out of auto pilot, by helping a person successfully change relationship cycles which prevent us from achieving personal goals. Interpersonal Neurobiology examines the complexities and limits of inner experience. It identifies what needs to happen for successful change to occur, and explains why we get stuck and unable to change. When understanding how our brain works a person can successfully alter relationships, emotional struggles, to be able to achieve personal goals.
