I aim to provide a warm, laidback, nonjudgmental, safe space for clients to explore and process mental health issues.

I communicate in a clear and calm voice that empowers clients. I believe in a no-shame approach to counseling that helps individuals feel validated, heard, and seen.
Dr. Morgan treats individuals, couples, families, and children. Dr. Morgan currently provides clinical supervision to Marriage and Family Counselors. He enjoys working with clients who have a broad spectrum of relationship problems. He believes that meaningful change comes from deep within; it is not something that can be imposed by the therapist, nor are you expected to do it alone.
I believe that the innate nature of human beings is to survive and be well, and that varying degrees of life experience and trauma create psychic structures that inhibit that natural process from occurring. My job is to help client's develop compassionate awareness for these structures that are no longer functional in their lives and help them to build tolerance for the underlying feelings being protected by these structures. And ultimately to help client's choose and develop healthier more functional thoughts, feelings and behaviors to expand their well being, life satisfaction and treat themselves with loving kindness.
I focus my work with individuals and couples to improve connection and secure functioning within relationships. I also work individuals dealing with affair recovery and betrayal trauma. Additionally, a large part of my practice focuses on healing from past traumas. During big life events we all need support, compassion, understanding, and sometimes guidance to return to feeling whole, connected, and allow joy back into our lives. Learning to care for yourself and using evidence based tools to improve your life will be our focus. My hope is to help you heal so you manage life's stressors and feel confident to face the world.

My counseling style is active, engaging and collaborative, using an approach that integrates proven therapeutic concepts and techniques. My graduate degree in Counseling is from Johns Hopkins University. I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of Maryland and Pennsylvania, a Nationally-Certified Counselor and a Board Approved Supervisor in Maryland. I am also a member of the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors of Maryland. My continuing education includes certifications in couples work, trauma and supervision. To make sure we're a good fit for each other, please email me or visit my website to schedule a free phone consultation. From there, we'll meet online on Zoom, which my clients have found to be very convenient and effective. I look forward to speaking with you!
My approach to therapy is largely cognitivebehavioral, with a strong emphasis on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) techniques, specifically learning to be mindful- noticing and accept your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations- while committing to behavior that is consistent with your own values. My experiences both in and out of the work setting are fairly broad so I feel I can address most issues clients present with. My style is engaging and supportive. I view our relationship as a partnership. I will spend the majority of our first sessions together listening to get to know you better. I believe that everything in our lives is interrelated, so at times I may let our focus move to whatever is particularly troubling to you that day. At other times, I may focus you back on the current problem we are trying to solve. I am married with two children and have had two career changes. I have experienced a wide variety of life stressors and have sought help when needed. I believe that these experiences have provided me with empathy, perspective and coping skills that I can use to help you.
My work combines my personal knowledge and experiences of the special challenges and gifts that define the creative experience with insight work and mindfulness-based psychotherapy. I've worked with writers, musicians, dancers, painters, computer programmers, tattoo artists, and more, to help them work through creative issues, relationship problems, anxiety, and many other concerns. In my experience, people who have spent their lives developing their creativity have a unique skillset which is often overlooked as a place from which to draw strength and guidance in building relationships, coping with stress, and making life decisions. I tend to focus on strengths: you might be surprised at what you already know. You can read more about my work with creative people at my external site, linked at left.
I believe a strong, trusting relationship with your therapist is the foundation for meaningful growth and change. In our work together, I meet you where you are, with empathy, compassion, and without judgment. My holistic approach focuses on your mind, body, and spirit, and I integrate both traditional and alternative therapies to support your overall well-being.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and have more than 20 years of experience as a mental health clinician. I have extensive experience helping children, adults, and families. I have a heart for people who are struggling with issues of everyday life. Day after day, we feel pressures and struggles that can turn us into people we don't want to be. I want to help you overcome these problems and difficult situations. I believe everyone can change because personalities and brains are flexible and adaptive. I use Cognitive-Behavioral, DBT, Integrative-Solution-Focused, Mindfulness intervention (Included NLP & Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy). Clients learn to make sense of themselves, to understand core problems, to let go of bad habits, and learn a healthy way forward in life. I believe that you are ready, have unlimited personal resources to reach your full potentiality. Let's work together to reach your goals in life! My office has a beautiful and professional atmosphere. You are one step closer to change. You can email or call me to set up an appointment.
I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I strive to create a space where you can talk openly without fear of judgment, while also learning meaningful tools to help you feel better in your daily life. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and strengths-based approaches to help clients better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors. Together, we work to identify patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, stress, depression, self-doubt, or feeling emotionally “stuck,” while building healthier coping strategies and greater self-awareness. I also recognize that life experiences, relationships, family dynamics, health concerns, and chronic stress can deeply affect emotional well-being. Therapy is not about “fixing” you. It is about helping you better understand yourself, develop resilience, and move toward a life that feels more manageable, balanced, and authentic. I value creating a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. My goal is to help you feel empowered, emotionally supported, and better equipped to navigate challenges both inside and outside of therapy.
