Brittany Merz, MA, MBA, LMFT, CCATP
I am Brittany and I am the owner and therapist at Bermuda Run Counseling, PLLC. I have been a practicing therapist for over 10 years and as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, I specialize in working with people who experience all types and levels of anxiety. I am fully licensed through the North Carolina Board of Marriage and Family Therapy. I received my psychology and counseling education at Liberty University and also hold an MBA from Wake Forest University.
My approach to counseling includes viewing our time together as a partnership. I am here as someone to whom you can confidentially share the most intimate details of your life who will show you empathy but compassionately challenge you to approach your problems in a way that gets you the results you’re seeking. I understand that even though others perceive you as successful or having it all together, you have an undercurrent of anxiety and worry going on beneath the surface. I also approach anxiety with a particular sensitivity to how the mind and body are connected to one another including the neuroscience of anxiety. I love helping people understand their anxiety better and help them take the steps toward becoming a calm and confident version of themselves.
I started Bermuda Run Counseling, PLLC in order to offer a resource to the community in which I live. As a resident here, I love to see our community thrive. I also believe there is no reason why we need to go to the larger surrounding cities to receive high quality care and am excited to have an office space that is right in the heart of our town.
My husband Mike is a Family Medicine Physician. We have lived in the Bermuda Run area with our two young daughters since 2020 and have created great community with the people here. A few things I enjoy include reading, winning at fantasy football, going to Disney World, and relaxing at Holden Beach, NC with my family.
