About me

My name is Nicole Merhaut and I was born and raised in California. I attended CalPoly Pomona where I graduated in 2009 with my Bachelors degree in Psychology. After graduating I moved to Florida where I received my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2015 from Capella University. Additionally, I received certifications in Applied Behavior Analysis and Addictive and Compulsive Behaviors in 2016 and 2017.

I have worked with children, individuals, couples, and families for over 10 years in a community mental health setting as a Targeted Case Manager, Master Level Practitioner, and now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have experience in treating Anxiety, Depression, Anger Management, family conflict, co-parenting issues, substance misuse issues, Autism Spectrum Disorder, coping with medical issues including Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, eating-related issues, self-harm, and more.

I use a Cognitive Behavioral approach as well as a Solution-Focused approach to help individuals reach their life goals and overcome challenges they may face in life. These approaches are described as; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and how they affect our daily lives. Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a goal-directed collaborative approach that focuses on the present and future to help an individual reach their goals. I provide a warm, caring, non-judgmental approach that is dedicated to helping you overcome life’s challenges. I look forward to learning more about you and helping you overcome any difficulties you may be facing in life.
