Connie Merriman, LPC

I am an experienced licensed professional counselor who is dedicated to helping adults cope with trauma, substance use, bipolar, anxiety and depression.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with adults ages 18 and over with mental health and addiction issues. I have worked for several years in clinics, inpatient, outpatient and prison settings. I am experienced in working with many challenges including Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Substance Use and Trauma to name a few.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level I and am EMDR-trained. I use such methods as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness and more. I believe in an individualized approach to counseling, tailoring my methods to best meet the needs of the client with whom I am working.

I believe that counseling should be a collaborative effort, teaming with the client to achieve their goals. Feeling stuck? Worried? Having trouble falling asleep at night or getting out of bed in the morning? Trapped in the past? I can help with that. I help my clients learn how to help themselves overcome difficulties, to learn more about themselves, and grow into the people they want to become.
