Wonderful to talk to, very understanding and supportive

I’ve been working with Miss Merle for over a year now and the progress we’ve made is life changing. She’s so very knowledgeable and so easy to talk to!

Absolutely phenomenal therapist I can’t recommend her enough

Ms. Merle is an extremely knowledgeable, caring therapist. I feel like she listens and has solutions. She encourages me, helps me to make sense of how I feel, the anxiety and stress I'm struggling thru, and I teaching me psychology, theories, and strategies so I can not only find a way to get thru, but to find joy and happiness and purpose again.

Miss Merle has made a world of a difference, we’re only a month into our sessions, and just talking to her whether about my mental health or just personal things has taken a weight off my chest. She’s very knowledgeable about everything. I couldn’t have been matched with a better therapist. I find myself very excited for our chats, and for the personal growth to continue that she’s instilled!

Marvelous Merle! She’s down to earth and relatable. Her tone is incredible. You may get spa day Merle or southern mama Merle. She adjusts to my needs and tone to level with our conversation. And, when you’re on the phone, I couldn’t think of anything more important than tone. It’s like an air hug of warmth and understanding sprinkled with advice and encouragement.

I love Merle!!! She understands my concerns and situations. She is Awesome!!!!

Merle is the most amazing counselor for me. I have participated in therapy in the past, and she is one of the most influential sources of positive mental health I have ever experienced. I am so greatful for her expertise, candor, humor, and compassion. I look forward to more work with her.

I’m pleased so far with better help. Thank you, and I look forward to more sessions

I've just completed my 3rd session with Merle and already her suggestions when applied in my daily life have improved the quality of my well being. She is very knowledgeable in array of areas and facets of therapy and how to apply them to daily life, not just in session. What this does is actually puts me in the driver's seat of the improvement of my mental health. I feel that this approach will let me move as fast or slow as is comfortable for me. 10 out of 10 would recommend this therapist to anyone willing to do the work of getting better. As a bonus, Merle is one of the coolest people in the world!

So far I've had nothing but good experiences with Merle. She's been very kind and understanding of my feelings, as well as focused on my desire to overcome my issues, and giving me great stepping stones to make progress. I didn't know how much sleep affected daily problems, but her advice to start with sleep issues and move from there was a game changer.

I am deeply grateful for having found Merle and working with her. She’s an excellent and experienced therapist open to listening to my needs and working with me. She’s kind, caring, smart, interesting, compassionate, worldly, and just plain cool. I look forward to continuing the work with her.

Merle has been such an encouragement, especially during 2020. Being able to communicate with her via txt whenever needed, about anxiety or parenting issues or dating is such a great thing. I definitely would recommend Merle to a friend, and have twice already.

She's amazing!

Therapy with Merle was fantastic! I’ve been dealing with a spike in my anxiety due to work stress and unrealistic expectations and Merle gave me several different tools in my toolbox to help manage my anxiety. She’s helped me work out what is realistic and what is out of my control and how to work through my catastrophic thinking. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is struggling with anxiety.

Merle is a great counselor. She pays close attention to my questions and needs and provides valuable insight to helping me address my problems.

I have been working with Merle Montalvo for about weeks. In that short time she has given me several tools to help with anxiety. We are already looking at and addressing some root causes. I feel like she understands where I was coming from and what I hope to achieve. It is super helpful that I can send a message at any time and receive feedback within a few hours.
