Merrill Shattuck

I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of life experiences. I support people navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, and parenting concerns. I also have specialized experience working with twins and twin dynamics — a unique area that is often overlooked in traditional therapy. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking for a fresh perspective and some new tools, I'm here to help you reconnect with the life you envision for yourself.

I specialize in helping clients strengthen their relationships — with others and with themselves. Drawing on my background in family systems, I focus on the interconnections between people, the stories we tell about ourselves, and the thought patterns that can quietly hold us back. I incorporate somatic therapies and trauma-focused modalities into my work, recognizing that healing often happens at the level of the body as much as the mind. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based — we build on what you already have, and work together toward the goals that matter most to you.

I hold a Master’s in Applied Behavioral Science with a concentration in Family Systems, and bring over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have developed extensive training in somatic therapies and trauma-focused treatment to my practice. My work is client-centered and tailored to the unique needs of each individual, couple, or family I work with. I approach every session with focused, compassionate attention and a genuine belief that each person carries within them the capacity to heal and grow.
