More about Mervin
- 13 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
In life, we all face struggles and challenges. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults and geriatrics to assist clients through those difficult times. My goal is to provide a safe and warm environment, where my client can feel comfortable to explore the past, gain personal insight and make positive changes when necessary. When working with my clients, developing a strong working relationship is most important. My specialties include counseling for anger management, substance abuse, self-harm, anxiety, developing appropriate life coping skills, goal setting, and trauma.
