“Merryl is a transformative guide. She sought to understand me at a deep soul level,
and this allowed me to meet myself there. Each session, she created a sacred space
and intuitively knew when to let me lead the way and when I needed to be led, or
pushed. Her unique blend of modalities and combination of spiritual practices helped
me pull myself out of a dark place so I could see the light and be my own light. Her keen
understanding of all the interconnected parts of my life, and the necessary healing of
ancestral trauma allowed me to heal both physical ailments and my inner child. I am
grateful for my time with her!”

“Merryl isn’t just a therapist, a coach or a healer. She is a visionary! She holds the
space for me to do the work that I need to do to integrate all of the parts of me that
have been split off, repressed, knocked back, silenced and lonely. The
unconditional love and strength she offers me has melted a lot of my anger and
fear. The biggest thing she has brought to me is myself! I now know how to love
myself in the midst of confusion, anger, fear, envy, depression and overwhelm. I can
stay in my body and love myself as my emotions rise and fall. Thanks to Merryl, I
am not willing to leave myself any longer. I have done some of the deepest work
with Merryl because she has such an incredible way of attuning herself to me. She
holds the vision of my wholeness for me to step into. She sees the gifts in my
shadow aspects long before I can, and she waits patiently for me to step into my
best future. She is a very fluid healer—she stands ready to comfort me in my
sadness and vulnerable places, and in the next minute, she is ready to cheer me on
in my personal triumphs. Merryl helps me to make space for all of myself exactly
the way I am, moment to moment. I experience her as a fierce and loving healer,
deeply in touch with her essential nature. I am deeply grateful for Merryl’s loving
presence and her phenomenal skill. I don’t know what I would do without her!”

“I felt at ease immediately with Merryl. After just the first session I felt like she
had a sense of what direction would be best for us to move in and we started. In the
time I have been with her I feel my mental health care dollars are being well spent!
She quickly grasped my current needs and we began working, making progress
after the first session. Being in the mental health profession myself I greatly
appreciate her expertise in many different modalities and her genuine concern for
my well- being.”

“Merryl is one of those rare people who loves you enough not to let you stay
stuck. She has a strong back and a soft heart—fierce when needed, deeply
compassionate always. As our couple’s therapist, she created space for both
of us to feel seen and heard while helping us move beyond old patterns. She
guides couples past blame and defensiveness toward deeper understanding,
connection, and healing. She brings wisdom, intuition, compassion, and
courage to every conversation. Working with her feels both grounding and
transformative—a true gift.”

“My time working with Merryl has been extremely beneficial on so many levels. 
She creates a warm and understanding atmosphere where I feel comfortable
discussing life issues, even when those issues are painful and difficult.  She has
taught me coping skills and relaxation techniques that include both mind and body. 
She respects my religious and cultural beliefs and integrates them into our work. 
Her encouragement has kept me afloat during a time of major family crisis. “

“As a provider of mental health services myself, I have admired what Merryl has

“Merryl is absolutely the salt of the earth. I have looked for a therapist/counselor
off and on over the past 20 years or so. I never ever felt comfortable with any
therapist until I walked into Merryl’s office. Truly, from the first minute I met her I

knew that I found my therapist!!! Merryl has helped me personally and also with
challenges with my daughter. She put me at ease and as soon as you meet her
you’ll know that you can trust her. I have recommended Merryl’s services to
many people and would recommend her again in a heartbeat! She truly is a gem!”

“I would recommend Merryl Rothaus as a transformative coach to anyone. Through working with her, I have
been able to work through issues that seemed bigger than me for most of my life.
Working with Merryl gets to the real core and through working with
her, I have been able to find real change and real healing. I have also developed the skills to take
what we do in our sessions out into the world, so overall I feel like I am expressing
the whole vibrant person I have always known that I was inside, and sharing that
with the world.”

“Merryl is an extremely gifted therapist and guide who has taught me what it is to
handle myself with love and kindness, to live in the present, to be mindful of my
thoughts, feelings and emotions and most importantly allowed me to see and learn
that I can handle whatever comes my way.  The authentic and heartfelt approach
she brings to her sessions is a cherished attribute that will enable a person to move
beyond what they ever thought was possible for themselves.”

“With Merryl, I felt so comfortable and safe while exploring places that maybe
aren’t so comfortable and safe. Merryl has a true gift with empathy, gentleness,
complete and total awareness and intuition while being strong and confident in

her guidance and delivery. She has a true gift at “seeing” and creating a safe place
to show-up and do work. She has helped me to feel strong.”
