“There are people you are simply meant to meet - someone who joins you along the way of your life’s journey and enriches it. I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing Dr. De La Garza Mercer for nearly a decade and I believe this to be true of the time I’ve come to know her. I have been consistently surprised by how she balances a nurturing, compassionate energy with sound, grounded, evidence-based practice. She is someone I admire and trust wholeheartedly. And yes, she is someone I believe individuals can trust implicitly with the care, healing and enrichment in your life’s journey, as well. ”

“I have worked with Felicia for a number of years as a clinical colleague and supervisor at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of California, San Francisco.  She is one of the most skilled psychotherapists I have had the pleasure of working with. She has a special combination of deep and up-to-date knowledge that she integrates into a skillful clinical approach.  I  especially appreciated her expertise in working with multicultural, gender and sexual identity issues. I have learned much from her!”
