We all need strong, healthy relationships for personal, social growth and development to better our lives.

Families

It’s important to keep parenting in perspective… it’s a difficult job!

You may be blaming yourself for lacking in parenting perfection; but the truth of the matter is that parenting isn’t a matter of being perfect, it’s about being open to recognize missteps and having the desire to repair them.

It is my experience that parents want the best for their families. In family therapy parents will discover the best in themselves and their children/teens through developing an attitude of appreciating the strengths and uniqueness that each family member has to offer. This will in turn nurture common family beliefs and foster cooperative family values.

With parents’ compassionate guidance, children/teens will come to appreciate their parents and other family members; and together they will build respectful and meaningful relationships.

Let’s come together to help strengthen your family’s communication in a climate that encourages family members to be playful, accepting, curious and empathetic (PACE) with one and another.

Let’s unite to help build healthy family communication.

He cares… His approach to guide parents to stay centered and “regulated”, benefits everyone in the family.

It’s therapy but with a lot of teaching.

Couples

Together in couple’s therapy, partners will learn to explore, manage and repair dead-end patterns of conflict that often lead one or both partners to withdraw from the relationship.

Couple

Utilizing the guidance of researched-based Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT), couples will learn to appreciate and nurture their partner’s different experiences, needs and dreams.

Compassionate understanding will pave the way for past hurts, injuries and traumas to be explored. The renewal of empathy in the relationship will generate increased intimacy, connection, and establish new-found healthier patterns of communication.

Come join me in couple’s therapy so that I may help your partnership. Learn to understand and repair conflict; and feel the connection and love that you thought was lost.

Testimonial

We are so thankful that we found Mervin Maier. When we were having difficulty communicating, Mervin patiently led us to a place where we were able to really hear one another.

We really appreciate his empathetic attention to our issues, both individually, and as a couple, and highly recommend his services!

Individuals

Sometimes we need a safe place where we can sort out our thoughts, feelings, and needs with someone who can validate our experience with compassion and without judgment.

Therapy affords the opportunity to discover your true self, gain personal power, strengthen relationships, and find more enjoyment in life.

Whatever challenges you may be experiencing we can explore them together.
