Dr. Merilee Lovejoy

About me

I am licensed in the state of California as a clinical psychologist. I have over 13 years of experience providing therapy to clients in various settings from private practice, to outpatient, to inpatient settings. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, and addictions. I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other. Taking the first step toward seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
