My name is Mercedes Cuevas, MA, LMHC. I enjoy working with people who are done feeling stuck in the same old patterns that leaves them feeling used, hurt, and negative towards themselves. Change of any kind is hard and making meaningful changes feel impossible and lonely.

This cycle often shows up in people's life as

• being unable to kick a habit or unhealthy coping, resulting in anxiety and stress

• difficulty connecting with others and forming relationships

• self-sabotaging, self-harm or suicidality

• poor self-esteem and self-worth

• feeling unsatisfied with family life and partnerships. ​

​

How I can Help: Healing looks different for everyone. I integrate several therapy models to create a supportive, holistic, and flexible experience.

​

I can offer a safe place to identify re-occurring patterns while feeling validated and capable of change with new skills and resources. ​I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals and families across all stages of life.

​

I’m trained in

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and general CBT

• Person-Centered Therapy

And draw from techniques in

•  Motivational Interviewing (MI)

• Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)

• Play Therapy, Art Therapy

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

I’m currently in the process of getting paneled with insurance providers, so for now am contracted with United Health Care, Premera, or self-pay only. I offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions for healing and emotional growth, and coaching sessions for folks wanting to build confidence in parenting skills, social skills, or adaptive living skills with ADHD related issues. I also offer a sliding scale to help make care more accessible—just reach out and we can talk through what works best for you.
