About

My name is Jessica Merrells and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, registered in Louisiana and Texas. I have 11 years of experience treating issues related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger management, relationship problems, and behavioral issues in adolescents. My view on the therapeutic relationship is that we are team. You are the expert, regarding your life and your experiences. I am here to provide support and guidance. It will always be my goal to create an atmosphere in which you are comfortable enough to be honest without the fear of being judged. While my counseling style is relaxed and nonjudgmental, I do incorporate interventions that are designed to challenge your thoughts.
