Hi, I’m Mercedeh. I’m a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Brainspotting Practitioner, and the founder of SomaMind Therapy. I have a BA in Psychology and an MA in Human Behavior, but my interest in this work is personal, too.
For years, I wanted to understand why someone can know exactly what they need to change and still find themselves reacting in the same ways. I knew what it was like to understand an experience intellectually and continue to feel its effects. Finding hypnotherapy and Brainspotting gave me a way to work with more than the explanation. That experience shaped the way I practice today.
Many people who come to me have already spent a great deal of time trying to understand themselves. They can describe the anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship pattern clearly. What they want now is to feel different in everyday life.
I bring curiosity, honesty, and care to this work. I take time to understand each person’s history and goals, then tailor our sessions to what they need. You don’t have to arrive with the right words or know where to begin.
Words of Wisdom:
“Understanding a pattern matters. So does having the chance to experience something different.”
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, overthinking, emotional triggers, low self-worth, people-pleasing, and relationship difficulties. I also support people affected by emotionally abusive experiences, divorce, and other major life changes, including those who feel stuck despite having done a lot of personal work.
I use hypnotherapy, Brainspotting, and body-based approaches to explore emotional responses and protective patterns that can persist even after we understand them. My sessions are collaborative and tailored to each client. We can work with what is happening now while making room for the experiences that shaped it.
