Clinical Intern
Malik Merritte

Greetings, I’m a clinical mental health counseling intern who specializes in working with athletes and also enjoys supporting first responders, couples, families, and individuals navigating life transitions. My own background in sports helps me connect with the challenges of high-performance environments, including setbacks, identity shifts, and performance pressures. I value creating a space where every client’s story and goals are met with care and respect.

My approach is warm but straightforward, focused on helping clients break unhelpful patterns and build lasting strengths. I draw from Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing to provide practical tools and strategies. Whether it’s managing stress, working through trauma, or finding balance during life changes, my goal is to empower clients to move forward with clarity, confidence, and resilience.
