About Me

Hi, I'm Billy Mercedes

A dedicated mental health professional, author, and the founder of Mercedes & Family, where we provide expert care for individuals and families seeking lasting change.

Hello, my name is Billy Mercedes. I’m a mental health therapist based in Bergen County, New Jersey, and the founder of Mercedes & Family. My mission is to help individuals and families overcome mental health challenges, which I often refer to as “mental pain,” and to guide them toward a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

In my practice, I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and hypnotherapy to support clients in achieving their personal goals and overcoming obstacles. I’ve developed a guiding mantra to inspire this journey: No Limits, No Mask, No Pain.

  • No Limits: Live without the barriers and limitations placed on you. Break free from beliefs that hold you back and embrace your true potential.
  • No Mask: Be authentic. By living as our true selves, we release anxiety and depression caused by hiding behind facades.
  • No Pain: Pursue your highest potential. Through continuous growth and self-care practices like exercise, meditation, and quality time with loved ones, we can alleviate stress and build resilience.

I’m passionate about traveling, spending time with my family, and creating content that motivates others. My goal is to inspire people to invest in themselves—whether by prioritizing mental health, enhancing physical wellness, or exploring self-discovery. I believe that by working towards our highest potential, we can each live our best life.

I want everyone to know that we’re all on the same team. We all want happiness and success, and although life brings its ups and downs, these experiences shape us and bring us closer to our true purpose. When we face challenges, I encourage you to see them as opportunities for growth rather than setbacks.

Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these deeper thoughts and feelings—the ones we sometimes hide because of fear or shame. I’m here to help you uncover these “deep dark secrets,” allowing you to release them and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Together, let’s work to break free from what holds you back and embark on a journey to a healthier, more empowered life.
