Professional statement

Gilan Merwanji is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Houston, TX who welcomes young adults and adults into his practice, particularly those looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress. Many of the individuals who attend sessions with Gilan find themselves lost in their emotions, often feeling disorganized or frustrated, without finding any solace from self-help books, podcasts, or other content. Gilan works with many people whose low self-esteem causes challenges in relationships, at work, or in general day-to-day life.

Gilan helps his clients by guiding them through introspection, bringing self-awareness to the patterns in their lives that can cause disruption or bring about difficult feelings. He practices evidence-based therapy modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and schema therapy. With Gilan’s support, clients learn how to strengthen their boundaries and feel more confident in themselves, applying these skills to their relationships.
