Therapists in Caddo Parish, LA

My approach to therapy is best described with this analogy: We are on a road trip, you are driving, and I have the map. There are many routes we can take to reach our destination and we will work together to determine which route is best for your journey. The most important aspect of therapy, is feeling comfortable and safe with the therapist you have chosen to work with. I feel honored to work with each and every person whose bravery brings them to my office.

Each day yields another opportunity to strive to become a better version of yourself. I’m passionate about counseling because I too have learned that when life becomes uncertain and difficult to navigate, counseling is the tool that gives voice where you are silent, it embraces you in areas you feel broken, it pours into your empty places to fill you with hope, clarification, and renewed expectation that you will overcome your challenges and accomplish your goals. You will win!

Are intense feelings of anxiety, anger, or sadness affecting your life? Do you feel like you need help, but unsure of where to start? You are not alone. This is a natural stress response caused by upsetting events in our past. Upsetting situations can wreak havoc on our sleep, and eating patterns, our relationships with others. It makes us sensitive to our environment by linking past events with our current environment. This link causes intense anxiety, fears, and strains our professional and personal relationships. We attempt to reduce the intensity of these fears by isolating ourselves and avoiding stressful situations.

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.

Therapy involves working together to identify and develop effective solutions to the negative patterns, thoughts, and actions you experience in life while accentuating your strengths. I see my clients as partners in their mental health journey and believe in working as a team to help each client get closer to their fullest potential. Our work together will help you re-orient yourself to the present and reignite the underlying drive to reach that potential.
