Mrs Merita Mehić Sokoljanin

CBT Psychotherapist

“I'm cognitive-behavioral therapist, schema therapist under supervision and psychologist with more then 10 years working experience in Center for Mental Health.”

About Me

I am a CBT Psychotherapist and psychologist, here to help you find clarity. My approach blends practical cognitive-behavioural tools with schema therapy, an evolving specialism I pursue under supervision. With over a decade of experience at a Center for Mental Health, I offer a steady, informed space. This combination is ideal for addressing both immediate concerns and deeper, long-standing patterns.

Approach

Structured skill-building and reflective exploration guide how we work together, moving from immediate coping to uncovering longer-standing patterns. I meet people in Tuzla and online, offering sessions in Bosnian and English so practical steps fit your life and context. Sessions are focused and collaborative — we set clear, manageable goals, practice small experiments between meetings, and track what changes; over time the accumulation of skills and insight reduces overwhelm. This way of working often helps those facing anxiety, burnout, mood shifts or major life transitions.
