Rian Merrick

Congratulations on taking one of the most difficult steps in your journey: reaching out for help!

My name is Rian, and I am a licensed mental health counselor and certified group facilitation specialist with over fourteen years of experience in working with LGBTQ+ adults, youth and parents, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, eating disorders, relationship dynamics, marriage and family, and ethical non-monogamy, with a specialization in group facilitation, and I am a proud Caribbean American.

My approach is eclectic, direct, creative, and integrative; grounded in evidence-based practices, such as person-centred therapy, the existential approach, and cognitive behavioral therapy. My therapy style is warm, caring, collaborative, and empowering.

As your therapist, I'm not here to judge or tell you what to do. Instead, I will help you recognize and build upon your hidden strengths and abilities by equipping you with the tools you need to navigate the stresses of life. You don't have to do it alone; book with me and let's get through this together!
