Rixie Morris
Hello! I'm Rixie. I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years. I have a passion for working with adults who may look like they have it all together on the outside, but inside feel anxious and overwhelmed, or may be stuck in patterns they don't understand. I help clients navigate trauma, relationship struggles, anxiety, low self-worth, and other challenges that may be affecting their emotional well-being. Together, we can explore what is happening beneath the surface, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and develop healthier ways to cope, connect, and move forward. I offer a warm, trauma-informed approach that helps you understand yourself on a deeper level. Through Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment-based and parts work, we explore the experiences and patterns beneath your struggles while building self-compassion, healthier relationships, and meaningful change.
First session
I want clients to leave their first session feeling heard, understood, and a little less alone in what they are experiencing. For clients who are new to therapy , I want to create a welcoming, judgement-free environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves and asking questions about the process. During our first session we'll begin to getting to know each other, talk about what brought you to therapy, and explore what you hope to gain from counseling. We'll work together to identify areas you would like to understand, while beginning to develop a plan that feels realistic and meaningful to you.
Strengths
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgement. I believe meaningful therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship and the sense that you an be honest about what you are experiencing without having to hide or minimize it. My approach in integrative and individualized. I draw from psychoanalytic framework, Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques, trauma-informed approaches, and emotion-focused therapy to help client's explore both what is happening in their lives and what my be underneath those patterns. Rather than focus on symptoms, I am interested in understanding the experiences, beliefs, emotions, and relationships that may have contributed to them.
Ideal clients
My ideal client may be struggling with unresolved trauma, anxiety , low self-worth, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling disconnected from themselves. They are often thoughtful and self-aware, but may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure of how to move forward. They want more than simply managing symptoms-they want to understand themselves on a deeper level, heal from past experiences, and create healthier patterns in their relationships and daily lives. I especially enjoy working with clients who are ready to explore the underlying experiences that have shaped their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. My goal is to provide safe, compassionate space where3 clients can better understand themselves, develop greater self-compassion, and build the confidence and skills needed to create meaningful change.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Informed Care
I use a trauma-informed approach by creating a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and understood. I recognize that past experiences can influence the way we think, feel, relate to others, and respond to stress, sometimes in ways we may not fully understand. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we work together to understand what may be underneath them and how past experiences may be shaping current patterns. I prioritize trust, choice, collaboration, and pacing, allowing clients to remain in control of their therapeutic process. My goal is to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, build self-compassion, and feel more empowered as they work toward meaningful and lasting change,
