Meryl Skinder

MSW, LCSW, ACSW

Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist

Life brings challenges at every stage, and seeking support is a sign of strength—not weakness. Whether you’re a parent concerned about your child’s emotional well-being or an adult navigating your own struggles, reaching out takes courage, and can be the first step toward meaningful, lasting change.

I work with individuals across the lifespan to address emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns with compassion, insight, and practical strategies. My approach is integrative and collaborative, grounded in respect for each person’s unique experience and potential for growth.

With decades of experience supporting children and adolescents in school settings, outpatient clinics, and private practice, I offer developmentally appropriate care that meets young people where they are. Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, mood challenges, or academic or social difficulties, I provide a safe space for them to grow and develop the skills they need to thrive.

As both a psychotherapist and a mother of three, I deeply understand the complexities of parenting and the pursuit of emotional balance. I support parents and adults navigating life transitions, parenting stress, or a sense of feeling stuck, offering a warm, personalized, and nonjudgmental space to explore, heal, and move forward. Early support can lay the foundation for long-term well-being. Whether you’re seeking guidance for your child or investing in your own growth, I’m here to help you find clarity, build resilience, and create a more balanced, fulfilling life. It’s a privilege to walk alongside individuals and families on their journey toward healing and self-discovery.
