Merrie Day

With a background grounded in psychotherapy and a career-long focus on the mind-body connection, Merrie Day brings both clinical depth and practical insight to her work as a licensed marriage and family therapist in Kirkland, Washington. Her training spans EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and interactive guided imagery — tools she uses to help clients do more than cope: to directly experience and interrupt the old beliefs quietly shaping their days.

Merrie works with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, including eating disorders and body dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, and the friction that builds between partners and across generations — including families where the dinner table competes with a teenager’s phone for everyone’s attention. She is also a trained child play therapist, and her approach with younger clients carries the same conviction she brings to adults: that change is genuinely possible for anyone willing to pursue it.

Her practice extends to online sessions, making her accessible to clients wherever they are. At the center of her work is a straightforward belief — that the stories people carry about themselves can be rewritten, and that real, lasting change begins the moment someone decides to be in the driver’s seat of their own life.
