Andrew Merritt, LPC

Andrew Merritt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 20 years of counseling experience and a Master’s degree in Counseling. Having lived in multiple states across the United States and abroad, he brings a genuine appreciation for cultural diversity and the many perspectives that shape people’s lives and relationships.

Licensed in Oklahoma and Colorado, Andrew’s career has included supporting individuals, couples, youth, and families, as well as working with people facing serious mental health concerns. He has also held leadership roles within organizations, where he focused on guiding staff and strengthening leadership with an emphasis on constructive, goal-oriented outcomes.

Andrew has training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy, and he takes an eclectic approach that adapts to each person’s needs and setting, whether that is individual therapy, family work, or couples counseling. He often uses a Socratic style of gentle questioning to help clients explore assumptions, clarify misconceptions, and thoughtfully challenge belief patterns that may interfere with daily coping.

His work also emphasizes understanding long-standing patterns and building practical changes that support resilience, such as learning new skills and reshaping routines and traditions in ways that help people move toward a fuller, more sustainable sense of well-being. Throughout the process, Andrew aims to meet clients with respect and to support the goals they hold for themselves and the people they care about as they navigate current challenges.
