Sibley, LA 71073

My name is Ian Merritt. I'm a counseling intern with Becerra Wellness, LLC through Louisiana State University in Shreveport. I strive to provide integrative yet client-focused counseling to vocational clients as well as individuals, couples, or groups for life and mental health issues. My counseling is shaped by psychodynamic psychology, which emphasizes assessment, early childhood experiences, unconscious processes, and interpersonal relationships. I am also skilled with a number of cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques that I can implement when brief or more targeted counseling is necessary.

Psychodynamic
Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

I am drawn to the psychodynamic process. It involves assessment of history and functioning, delving into the subconscious, discussing childhood, and examining current relationships. This process is too long or in-depth for many clients. For these clients, there are many alternative techniques and therapies that focus on the present and solutions to targeted problems.
