Ms Meri Levy, M.Couns

Psychotherapist

“I am a psychotherapist who specializes in the treatment of adults, especially parents, who are too hard on themselves.”

About Me

If you're an adult, especially a parent, constantly feeling you're not enough, I offer support. I help clients gently release the burden of harsh self-judgement. In our sessions, we'll explore the roots of self-criticism. We will also discover practical ways to cultivate self-compassion. This creates a space where you can finally treat yourself with kindness. My approach is for anyone seeking relief from relentless self-criticism and burnout.

Approach

When exhaustion and self-blame show up, I guide a steady, practical way of working that links emotions, body sensations and everyday parenting moments. I prefer in-person sessions in Lafayette, but offer secure online sessions for my clients' convenience. The focus is collaborative and concrete, helping you notice small shifts that add up. This style tends to suit parents seeking sustainable change in their anxiety and physical symptoms.
