Founder & Licensed Professional Counselor

I'm Anna Mercatoris, a licensed professional counselor committed to providing compassionate, nonjudgmental care in a space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, or just feeling stuck, my goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and clarity. l understand that reaching out for help can be overwhelming and that waiting for support shouldn't add to the stress. That's why I offer flexible scheduling with quick appointment availability, so you can get the care you need, when you need it. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness, but I always start with listening. Every person's journey is unique, and your care should be too. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with compassion and help you move forward at your own pace, I’d be honored to work with you.

Counselor-In-Training

I am a passionate counselor-in-training with a strong educational background and a commitment to helping others navigate their mental health. I graduated from Slippery Rock University, where I developed a solid foundation in psychology and interpersonal communication. Currently, I am furthering my studies at Liberty University, focusing on equipping myself with advanced counseling techniques. My primary approach to counseling is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I believe is an effective way to empower clients by helping them identify and transform negative thought patterns.

Licensed Massage Therapist

I specialize in relaxation massages and aromatherapy, offering customized sessions that support balance between the mind, body, and spirit. My approach is gentle and intentional, focused on calming the nervous system, easing tension, and creating space for deep relaxation. Each session provides a supportive environment for rest, restoration, and whole-person wellness.
