Martin - Thought Goblin Counseling PLLC ; Martin J. Merceret, MPH, MSW, LCSW, BCD

If your mind is overwhelmed, you’re not sure where you fit in and you’re looking to move forward in life, you’re in the right place! If you’re neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, or both), you already know the problem isn’t effort. You’ve tried the planners, the systems, the strategies that seem to work for everyone else. You get feedback that doesn’t make sense. You’re exhausted in ways that don’t show… And you’re still in it, trying to move forward on a path towards a fulfilling life. A path that makes sense for you. I work with adults, teens and couples in Champaign and across Illinois. Your thought goblins, your rules.

Expect evidence-based laughter, gentle challenges, and the occasional metaphor. My approach is collaborative and we’ll explore this side-by-side. We start with what matters to you, explore what’s getting in the way, and build skills that fit your brain. ACT, CBT, and narrative approaches, adapted to you. Not the other way around.
