Susi Meritammi

Hello, I am psychologist Susi Meritammi. I will begin offering KELA-reimbursed rehabilitation psychotherapy sessions after October 2025 (at the earliest in November). You can schedule an introductory appointment before that, and we can start working on a self-pay basis, transitioning to KELA therapy after my official licensing. I also offer short-term counseling and brief therapy. You can access my services remotely. I have a broad foundation of expertise, but you are welcome to come to my practice with any question that challenges your daily life. Typical areas of focus include psychological stressors such as anxiety and depression, OCD, trauma, sleep issues, self-criticism and feelings of inadequacy, relationship problems, life transitions, changes and crises, as well as work-related challenges and coping with work-related changes. As a psychologist, I have worked with people of all ages and am accustomed to encountering the diversity of human experiences. When working with families, we address themes related to child development and neurodivergent challenges, as well as parenting, child-rearing, and dynamics of interaction. As a work health psychologist, I am familiar with topics related to workplace well-being and performance. In my practice, I apply methods from process-based cognitive behavioral therapy. These include process-based functional analysis, exposure, emotion-focused exercises, skills training, acceptance and commitment therapy, strengthening mindfulness and psychological flexibility processes, compassion-focused work, and ICBT (a treatment method for OCD). Treatment is always tailored individually to the client's situation and resources. In my practice, I find it particularly meaningful to foster shared insights, promote well-being through integration, and create a sense of balance, life management, internal motivation, and agency. Warmly welcome to my practice!
