Merrick Larson

Merrick Larson, MHC-P, provides compassionate, person-centered counseling for preteens, teens, and adults in Rochester, NY. Specializing in navigating the complexities of neurodiversity and emotional regulation, Merrick offers a non-judgmental space to explore behaviors, emotions, and patterns without labeling them as "good" or "bad." This approach is particularly helpful for families seeking support for children and adolescents dealing with emotional disturbances, OCD, or behavioral issues.

The practice focuses on emotion-focused and person-centered therapies to help clients manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and ADHD-related stressors like executive dysfunction or school issues. Merrick works with individuals, couples, and families to address specific needs including coping skills development, managing family conflict, and navigating life transitions or peer relationship difficulties.

Services are available through both in-person and telehealth appointments, providing flexibility for families with busy schedules. Merrick is currently accepting new clients and offers a free consultation to ensure a good fit. Session fees are $150, and a variety of payment options are accepted, including HSA, Venmo, and major credit cards.
