Welcome to Happy Life Counseling of RI! My name is Elisy Blanco-Mercado. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. In addition to private practice, I have worked as a School Social Worker providing assessment, consultation, counseling, and behavior support.
It is my belief that we all have a story that helps shape our decisions and way of life. Sometimes our stories can keep us from living our best lives, and therapy can help. You can write the next chapter of your life!
As a therapist, it is my privilege to support those who seek my services by offering a genuine, confidential, and culturally sensitive perspective. My approach is strengths-based combined with psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, family and play therapies.
I offer evening and weekend hours for your convenience and am fluent in English and Spanish.
There is no better time than the present to start designing and living your best life!
