Welcome! My name is Merry Mitchell-Battles, and I’m so glad you’re here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) with over 20 years of experience in private practice.

I specialize in parenting support, substance abuse treatment, and mental health counseling, offering compassionate, confidential, and caring services tailored to your unique needs. I know that the decision to start therapy is a big one—often a life-changing step—and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
