David E Mermelstein

I have worked for several decades with individuals, couple’s and families who have struggled with personal, relational, marital and family issues. I guess that qualifies me as a “seasoned” therapist. Among the many issues that clients have brought to their work with me are acute and chronic anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues and longing for personal growth. I have extensive experience in dealing with marital and couple’s problems. I have particular expertise is working with bereaved parents. I am considered a very good listener but I am not a passive participant in the process. I believe that therapy that works is more about change than about insight, and that the problems that bring clients to seek help are expressions of things not working in their lives that require attention. Together, I strive to help clients raise to awareness what those issues are and to discover the solutions that will work for them and to help them heal.
