Christy Merriner

As a steward of the arts, Christy has unique insight into the lives of creatives who may feel misaligned with therapists who do not possess first-hand experience or knowledge of the complexities of the entertainment business.

Christy landed her first music job at age 16 as a retail clerk at an independent record store (back when those existed). 15 years later and well into her career as an artist manager in NYC, she was plagued by a series of unfortunate events which included a break up with a toxic work environment, a near-death experience, and a revelation that led her to put a pause on her music management lifestyle to explore her inner world.

While in her own therapy, Christy realized she had been ignoring her artistic and analytical mind and that she needed a career shift to allow her to embrace these strengths. Christy is passionate about a multitude of seemingly unconnected things: psychology, creativity, neuroscience, spirituality, fitness, marine biology, indie rock to dub music, and philanthropy.

Christy loves being a therapist. She feels honored to assist her clients as they reconnect with themselves, and regain their voice -- including rediscovering their unique set of strong suits, their personality, their sense of humor, and their spirit. Christy believes that gifts and obstacles are what give clients the power to change their lives. Her approach incorporates strengths-based techniques through the lens of mindfulness, helping clients emphasize their innate talents, strengthen their self-compassion, and hone techniques that calm the body and mind.

Christy's office is located in Miracle Mile, Los Angeles, CA on Wilshire Blvd. Christy is accepting new clients for in-person sessions, walk and talk therapy, or phone sessions while COVID-19 restrictions are in place for the City of LA. Christy also provides Telehealth coaching to clients nationwide and internationally.
