Getting to know Michelle Merritt

Hi! I'm Dr. Michelle Merritt, a Licensed Professional Counselor/Therapist - LPC. I have 20 years of inpatient and outpatient experience working clients using a variety of therapeutic approaches including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive and Interpersonal Psychology, Dynamic and Existential Therapy, specific to each and every person. I have specialized in stress, depression and anxiety, as well as addictive behaviors and personality disorders and creating a clear pathway to continual growth and relief from symptoms. My therapeutic approach is based on proven methods driven toward self-growth, empowerment, and strength using a combination of positive, interpersonal and dynamic psychology. Based on client goals, I also incorporate cognitive behavioral and psychoanalytic techniques providing insights, tools, new skills to find relief from symptoms while accomplishing and setting therapeutic goals for continual personal growth. I work with a large range of clients from adolescents to adults, as well as couples and families. Much of my work focuses on the critical ability to manage stress, depression and anxiety with additional expertise in addictive behaviors, personality disorders, and immediate symptom relief within the individual or relationships dynamics. My communication style is open, engaging, trust building and work at the speed set by my clients. I focus on slightly probing, gentle questions leading to true self-discovery without pressure, while maintaining structure with freedom to evolve, grow and heal. My role as a therapist I believe is helping reach people set, achieve and even surpass personal and interpersonal growth milestones by focusing on overcoming issues felt to be holding them back, building upon their strengths and personal tools and creating a ongoing path to continued fulfillment, achievement, and purpose as they see that!
