Haylie Merchen, LMSW
I work with young adults, moms, teenagers, women, couples and children ages 10+ who feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, shame, perfectionism, and deeply rooted negative beliefs about themselves. Many of my clients struggle with self-esteem, relationship and communication challenges, parenting stress, or the lingering impact of messages learned in childhood. My goal is to help clients build self-compassion, understand the origins of these patterns, and develop tools to feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their lives.
Education & Background
- Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
- 4 years of experience
- Certified Shame-Informed Treatment Specialist
- Currently pursuing certification as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP)
- Experience working with children, teens, adults, and families
My Approach
My approach is straightforward, supportive, and practical. I believe therapy should help you understand why you feel the way you do and give you skills you can use long after sessions end. Together, we focus on building lasting tools to manage stress and regulate emotions – not just in the moment, but throughout life. Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and grounding, appreciating the balance of validation and clear, actionable guidance. I use a blend of CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and play-based interventions, tailoring each session to meet your needs while keeping therapy clear, collaborative, and grounded in real-life application.

You Don’t Have to Carry It Alone
Shame can be a heavy burden—quietly shaping how you see yourself, your relationships, and your ability to feel worthy of love or success. It can leave you stuck in cycles of self-doubt, overwhelm, or disconnection.
