Deborah Mertlich, LCSW
You rarely have the time for everything you want in this life, so you have to make choices. Everyone experiences stress and anxiety - it's a fact of life. Anxiety can be caused by many events and factors; a new job or school, economic hardships, social situations, and a seemingly unlimited number of factors.

Anxiety becomes a serious problem, when it gets in the way of everyday living or enjoying important relationships. Counseling can help, it can identify the why and what in regards to anxiety and establish a plan of action to combat these feelings. As the founder of NW Anxiety Solutions we strive to provide warmth, approachability, compassion, cultivated over 20 years of experience.

A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is not trying.-B. I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Oregon and Washington. I have worked with individuals and families for over 15 years. I currently specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults and families who are challenged by anxiety disorders.
I'm currently transitioning to teletherapy for all my clients. I have thought about this transition for several years. I started my career doing in home therapy and loved working with families in their environment and homes. Over the years, it's gotten more cost prohibitive and time consuming to do in home work.
You must call 971-252-1545 and leave a message. Please provide the following information: Your name, phone number, availability, insurance coverage, and your specific interest in my services. 2. A member of my staff will contact you to schedule a complementary 15 minute phone consultation. This is required prior to making any therapy appointments.

I am very impressed with the way Debi Mertlich approaches her work as a therapist. She is warm and caring, and continually looks for ways to be a more effective counselor for her clients. When my friend's school-aged daughter experienced levels of anxiety that were impacting her schoolwork and family life, I recommended she contact Debi. I knew she and her daughter would be in good hands.

I have had the opportunity to know and work with Debi since 2003. I have found her to be a very compassionate, sincere, dedicated and effective therapist. She is quite personable and communicates well with families and providers alike. I have been impressed with her work with patients who have anxiety when coupled with chronic conditions. I would certainly recommend her as a very competent and professional therapist.
