Getting to know Gilan Merwanji

Hi, I’m Gilan — a therapist who sees the whole you. Whether you’re feeling anxious, burned out, overwhelmed, processing grief, navigating trauma, or just stuck — you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you with skills, care, intention, and respect. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #104473) based in Texas, offering virtual therapy for adults and young adults from all walks of life. With over a decade of experience in social services and clinical care — and a background in law, social work, and business — I bring a systems-aware, trauma-informed lens to therapy. As a South Asian therapist, I understand that our mental health is shaped not just by personal experiences, but also by culture, identity, family dynamics, and the larger systems we navigate. I hold space for all of that in our work together. We’re living in uncertain times — shaped by nonstop news cycles, social tensions, academic and professional pressure, generational and systemic trauma, and the constant noise of social media. It’s easy to feel like you’re supposed to “have it all together,” even when everything inside feels anything but. Whether you’re a student figuring things out, a professional feeling burned out, or someone simply trying to get through a tough season — I’m here to support you. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. No matter your story, this is a space where all of you is welcome! I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and am an Advanced Level 3 TEAM-CBT therapist. These evidence-based approaches help move us beyond talk therapy — toward real, lasting change. Beyond clinical tools, I bring warmth, curiosity, humor, and collaboration into every session. You don’t have to show up any certain way here — just as you are.
