As a mom of five incredible kids who has survived complex posttraumatic stress (CPTSD), huge family losses, postpartum depression and anxiety, and chronic illness, I have taken an empowering path toward owning my story, building confidence, and purpose. My children show me the benefits of that in who they are, every day. It's not perfect, but it doesn't need to be. My extensive professional training and experience supporting parents, children, couples, and families for the past 23 years has prepared me to meet you where you are, keeping short- and long-term best possible outcomes in mind for your whole family's emotional well-being. You deserve to cultivate healthy relationships and not lose yourself in the process. And how you learn to support yourself better could make all the difference. Culturally Sensitive, Inclusive Care, and Raising Allies We have to level up our village to raise children in a time when hate and division are challenging our peace and freedom, quite literally. In group and private sessions, I aim to provide affirming support for a broad spectrum of individuals, couples, and families. This includes neurodivergent people, people with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), autistic people, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), multiracial, multiethnic, interfaith, LGBT, and others who face challenges related to their identity. I love supporting parents who want to raise allies and changemakers who aren't threatened by differences.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
