About Me

Hi, I’m Gilan Merwanji (LCSW), a Houston-based South Asian therapist and the founder of GK Preserve Group, LLC. I provide virtual therapy across Texas to adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, and identity-related stress. I specialize in using EMDR, TEAM-CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care. My clients are often high-functioning professionals, students, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ+ community who are balancing cultural/societal expectations, ambition, and family responsibilities—while quietly carrying the weight of internalized insecurities, perfectionism, or past pain. Sessions with me are available in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Gujarati. I strive to create a space where you feel heard and empowered—no matter where you are in your journey. Ready to Begin? You don’t have to have it all figured out to start. Email me at gilan@gkpreservetherapy.com to schedule a free 30-minute consultation—we’ll talk about what’s bringing you here and explore whether we’re a good fit to work together.
