Merrie Bartlett

Merrie Bartlett is an LCSW based in New York with 23 years of clinical practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, family challenges, parenting concerns, depression, and life transitions. She frames much of her work around a search for greater calm and ease in daily life, guiding clients to identify obstacles that keep them from feeling at home in their own bodies and spirits. Her approach invites exploration of what peace means for each person and practical steps to have that experience more often.

Merrie uses an eclectic method adapted to the needs of the individual, with additional focus on caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, questions of life purpose, midlife transitions, self-love, and workplace difficulties. She emphasizes collaborative goal setting and clear work together so people know what they are aiming for in sessions. Merrie looks forward to getting to know people and helping them define concrete goals for therapy while attending to the specific themes and stresses they bring into the room.
