Meet Jolyn

Jolyn Merritt, LPC Associate

Hey ya’ll! I’m Jolyn Merritt, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I am also a pastor’s wife, mother, and educator who believes that every person has value and purpose.  My faith in Jesus Christ is at the heart of who I am, and I believe God can bring hope and healing, even in the midst of life’s most difficult seasons. 

My journey of helping others began in education, where I spent 10 years serving as a junior high teacher before transitioning into my current role as an elementary school counselor.  Through my work as a school counselor and my experience as a pastor’s wife, I have had the privilege of working alongside children, individuals, and families through many of life’s challenges. These experiences have deepened my passion for creating a safe, compassionate space where people feel heard, valued, and supported. When appropriate and desired by the client, I enjoy incorporating biblical truth and faith into the counseling process. 

I believe counseling is a collaborative journey, and my hope is to walk alongside you with compassion, encouragement, and grace. Most of all, I hope to create a space where you feel encouraged, equipped, and reminded that you do not have to walk through life’s challenges alone.
