Here for You Every Step of the Way
Kailee's Approach To Treatment
My approach for the first session is to get to know you and your goals for treatment. I will always ask if you want to rebook with me and I want you to tell me if you don't find something helpful. I believe in person-centered treatment with the client always being the focus to help you be the most successful. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD and ADHD but can also help with any presenting concerns you may have.
In sessions, I will be a guide for you on your journey and help you navigate the challenges you face through supportive listening and cognitive restructuring. I mainly use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) but also can integrate EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to help clients struggling with trauma.
For clients seeking medication only, the approach I use is similar with appointments being more focused on medication changes or updates but also looking at how effective the medication actually is. I never change more than one medication at a time without good reason and will always allow time for questions or concerns. My initial appointments are always 1 hour and follow ups are at least 30 minutes. I find allowing for more time, allows a client more time to ask questions and voice any concerns they may have.
Kailee Merryfield is an empathetic, genuinely caring therapist who intently listens and takes the wellbeing and problems of her clients seriously. She always remembers and calls back to issues we previously discussed, and is particularly compassionate about the mental difficulties and illnesses of veterans, which means a lot as a veteran with severe mental distress.
Review from Sarah S.
I have been doing treatments with Kailee Merryfield for the past 6 months and couldn’t be happier with the services. She goes above and beyond and truly cares about the mental health of her PTS. Im so glad I found someone who cares about my mental health and is helping me work through it. I have looked for over 25 years and I finally feel I found a healthcare provider who cares and I trust.
Review from Thomas G.
Very understanding and empathetic. Definitely felt very comfortable as it was my first ever virtual call.
Jonathan V. from ZocDoc

Steven J. from ZocDoc
Was understanding, made me feel like I was heard and a great listener.
Julie J. from ZocDoc
I am so thankful I found Kailee, she is absolutely amazing!! She is a great listener, personable and helpful. I think one of the best feelings is to feel heard and to feel seen- she does that both with attentiveness and care. Highly recommend.

Kailee has been an incredible provider and is such an asset to Bullhead City. She is kind, compassionate, caring, but above all else she listens to what you have to say and doesn’t rush to a diagnosis just to get you out of her office. She has made me feel seen and heard where I felt invisible before.
Review from Melissa D.
I have been battling PTSD, Anxiety and treatment resistant Depression for years. Kailee and staff are very helpful. I've been receiving Spravato treatments that have really helped. Healing from trauma is hard. I'm more hopeful with each Spravato treatment and Psychotherapy. I'm 66. I'm very hopeful and life is looking brighter. I still have more sessions. Thank you!! What a blessing.
Review from Cyndi P.
My wife was just not herself. I tried to get anybody who would listen to try and figure out what was wrong with her. This included 2 hospital stays.
We found Kailee Merryfield. She took the time to spend with us and actually listened.
She would message me on her app late at night, on weekends just to trying to figure it out.
She nailed the diagnosis and after a test, she proved it.
She cares about her patients and is extremely smart.
My wife is doing so much better thanks to Kailee.
She is an angel sent from heaven!!
