Mental Health Intern, Substance Use Supervisor, Certified Clinical Supervisor

Holly Merchant, LADC, CCS, DEEP Certified Clinician

With over 15 years of experience in the field of behavioral health, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through residential treatment, outpatient services, and Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) programs. My work has centered on providing compassionate and evidence-based care to those seeking assessments and treatment for substance use disorders.

I believe that every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect—without exception. It’s this guiding value that shapes my approach to counseling. While my clinical expertise and certifications form a strong foundation, I consider my greatest strength to be my commitment to serving clients with humility and authenticity.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mental Health and Human Services with a concentration in Addiction Studies, and I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Husson University. My goal is to support individuals facing challenges related to both mental health and substance use, helping them navigate toward healing and resilience.

Life presents all of us with obstacles—but you don’t have to face them alone. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward recovery and personal growth.
