About Malik Merritte
Greetings, I’m an LPC Resident who specializes in working with athletes and also enjoys supporting first responders, couples, families, and individuals navigating life transitions. My background in sports helps me connect with the unique pressures of high-performance environments, including setbacks, identity shifts, perfectionism, and performance-related stress. I value creating a space where every client’s story, experiences, and goals are met with care, respect, and authenticity.
My approach is supportive yet straightforward, strength-focused, and centered on helping clients face challenges, break limiting patterns, and build lasting resilience. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical tools for change.
Malik can be found at the following location:
