Mercedes and her professional but also calming demeanor have really helped me through a really hard season. She has given me tools for managing my own difficult emotions and has been able to help me get to the root of them. Her help has enabled me to be a better parent and to manage through feelings of despair and depression. Truly grateful for her listening ear and her expertise.

More about me
Licensing: LMFT Years in Practice: 3 State: California
My name is Mercedes D. Green. I have served in the military for over 18 years as Military Police, Platoon Sergeant, Drill Sergeant, and Operations Sergeant. I am currently a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience of 3 years in therapeutic services and 12 years in case management services. Over the span of 12-18 years, I have worked directly with institutionalized offenders, trauma survivors, military personnel, adult parents, transitioning adolescents, and adult/child suicidality. I have experience working with individuals, families, couples, and groups. My methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Gestalt Therapy. I am currently based in Southern California working with adults and youth in crisis intervention services.
I have a very mindful and empowering counseling style. I am welcoming and empathetic to every client/family/couple. I believe every client/family/couple presents a unique experience and thus requires methods tailored specifically to them. I am flexible and willing to change an approach if growth is not reflected in the measured progress. I believe in listening to the client as the client is the expert on their presented problem.
It is always rewarding to witness a client take the first step towards therapy because the acknowledgment of change is in itself empowering. I look forward to working with you once you are willing to take that first step. Let's place value on your journey towards change.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
