Allison MerrickLicensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, PsyD, RP, FIPA

About

Have you ever been told you’re “too much”—or maybe not enough? Are you exhausted by the ongoing pressure to hide who you really are? Do you struggle to fit into social, academic, or corporate spaces? Many of us live under inherited expectations—unspoken “shoulds” about how we’re supposed to think, feel, or exist in the world. These pressures can lead to shame and a deep sense of inauthenticity. Trained in psychoanalysis and existential philosophy, I specialize in working with individuals who have internalized these demands.
