"What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other." -G. Eliot

Hello and welcome to my website!

You are most likely here because your current life situation is not working well, is causing you some degree of distress or pain or you want to make changes in your life. Looking for a therapist is a brave and empowering action toward moving forward. Helping people to move forward is something I am very grateful to say that I love to do!  I am fiercely dedicated to my work and to my clients who come from many differing backgrounds. I believe that the fact that I love my work contributes enormously to the progress that my clients make.

I believe that all people have what it takes to grow and heal, regardless of how much one has suffered. You are a one-of-a-kind individual with your own set of gifts and strengths as well as circumstances, history and experiences.   The key is in unearthing and cultivating your strengths and learning what exactly helps YOU to make lasting changes that result in your growth and/or healing.  So that I can meet the individual needs and styles of each individual with whom I work,  I have training in many different modalities of counseling and therapy.  What works for you may be very different than what works for another.  Therefore, we will work together to craft sessions based on your individual needs and how you best learn.  Committed to our work being effective, meaningful and lasting, my style is heartfelt, compassionate, mindful, creative, embodied and honoring of all of who you are.  I am interested in helping you to safely explore your painful or hard stuff,  build upon your strengths,  and grow the vibrant parts of yourself  so that  you may live a more peaceful and contented life.

I encourage you to look around my website in order to learn about who I am, how I work and how I may be of help to you.  Please do contact me if you have any questions or curiosities. I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation so that we may meet in person, get to know one another and see if working together is the right match for your needs.  Please feel free to contact me at  720.317.4647 or at merryl@merrylrothaus.com

I look forward to meeting you. Thank you so much for taking time to visit my site.

With many, many blessings to you,
