Erin Mercer

Erin Mercer is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan who holds a master of arts degree in counseling from Wayne State University and a school counseling certification in Michigan. She began her career as a teacher and transitioned into counseling after recognizing that supporting students and their parents with the social and emotional side of school best matched her strengths and passions.

With five years of clinical experience, Erin works in a warm, down-to-earth manner so clients feel comfortable sharing what matters to them. She is comfortable helping people with relationships - including family, friends, and couples - as well as anxiety, depression, stress, life changes, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, and sleep difficulties.

Erin takes a person-centered approach to counseling, offering genuine feedback and a supportive environment that encourages self-awareness and growth. She also draws on techniques from a variety of theories to meet each person’s goals - examples might include journaling, role-playing a difficult conversation, or trying a small task between sessions. Her priority is helping clients feel at ease throughout the counseling process.
