Amber Merrow

Therapist

LMSW

Female

Welcome! My name is Amber and I have been a psychotherapist for nearly 12 years (MSW, University of Michigan, 2014). With a home practice in Petoskey, Michigan. I provide support to any age adult (special focus on the elderly/terminally ill). I am experienced using many evidence-based therapies to address the multitude of “issues” life throws at us. I would love to be a part of your healing journey. I look forward to speaking with you. Please review more at: YourSpaceTherapyPLLC.com My practice is grounded on the idea that personalized mental healthcare is crucial for effective results. There are many methods out there, but we will choose together treatments that fit your particular situation and personality. I can be very direct in my approach if that is what you want, but I can also take a softer approach based on what we determine works. I am open-minded and comfortable tweaking modalities to best suit you. Humor is also a great medicine, so we may laugh a bit! You may feel lighter (but maybe a bit uncomfortable at first) after opening up and letting someone into your world. We will get to know one another during sessions, identify your goals, then work towards them. You will feel safe to talk without judgment, which will widen insight and understanding, building confidence and trust in yourself to make change. You should feel that you learned something from our time together that will keep you moving forward.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract provider networks, each provider that governs the terms of their participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned belowabove, the provider’s, group’s, or network’sir use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, providers on Psych Hub receivespay fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
