Hello, I’m Morgan Thomas, a double board-certified nurse practitioner in both family and psychiatric mental health care. I’m the co-founder of Patients’ Choice Mental Health and Medical Care, where I provide comprehensive, compassionate care to individuals navigating mental health challenges. I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, talk therapy, and coaching with a focus on helping each patient function as their best self. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to heal and grow into their best selves.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, my priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your story. We’ll explore your current concerns, past experiences, and goals for treatment. I take a collaborative, whole-person approach—whether that involves medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or all of the above. My hope is that by the end of our session, you’ll feel heard, understood, and encouraged about the path ahead.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my warmth, my clinical knowledge, and my ability to genuinely connect with people from all walks of life. I bring over a decade of healthcare experience and more than five years of dedicated psychiatric practice, but what truly sets me apart is my heart. I treat each client with deep compassion and respect, always listening closely and seeing the person beyond the diagnosis. I believe in meeting people where they are, helping them rediscover their resilience, and walking beside them on their journey to wellness.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work with individuals of all ages who are facing emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric challenges including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and more. I especially connect well with those who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or discouraged, and are ready for a provider who will listen deeply, partner with them in their healing journey, and tailor treatment to meet their individual needs. Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis or have been struggling for years, I’m here to help you rediscover hope and move forward with confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In practice, I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to emotional distress or problematic behaviors. I will guide them in recognizing the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teach skills to reframe distorted thinking, manage symptoms, and develop healthier coping strategies. CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and often time-limited, making it effective for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma. I will also assign homework to help clients apply what they’ve learned between sessions and reinforce behavioral changes.
Compassion Focused
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) has become a valuable part of my therapeutic approach, especially for individuals who struggle with high levels of shame, self-criticism, or emotional avoidance. In my experience, many clients—particularly those with trauma histories, anxiety, depression, or perfectionism—benefit from learning how to respond to their suffering with kindness rather than judgment. I use CFT to help clients understand how their brains are wired for threat detection and how these systems can dominate their emotional experiences. We work together to cultivate the "soothing system," which supports feelings of safety, warmth, and self-compassion. Through guided imagery, mindfulness, and compassionate mind training, clients learn how to develop a more supportive internal dialogue and regulate difficult emotions. In session, I may integrate CFT with cognitive behavioral strategies, especially when helping clients identify patterns of self-criticism or guilt. For example, we explore how early experiences have shaped your inner critic, and I guide you in practicing self-compassionate responses that promote healing rather than reinforcement of shame. Over time, this helps clients build resilience, emotional regulation, and a more balanced sense of self-worth. Ultimately, my goal is to help clients become their own source of emotional safety, which often becomes a powerful turning point in their healing journey.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a key approach I use when working with individuals who struggle with emotional disconnection, unresolved attachment wounds, or difficulty understanding and expressing their feelings. In my experience, EFT is especially helpful for clients who feel stuck in patterns of avoidance, emotional shutdown, or overwhelming reactivity. In practice, I use EFT to help clients identify and make sense of their emotional responses, especially those rooted in early attachment experiences. Together, we explore the patterns that develop when emotions feel unsafe or overwhelming and work to shift those patterns by accessing and expressing core emotional needs in a more compassionate and regulated way. Sessions often focus on building emotional awareness, strengthening a sense of internal security, and fostering self-acceptance. Clients learn to respond to themselves with more clarity and care, which leads to greater emotional balance and improved relationships with others. EFT provides a safe and supportive framework to process emotions at a deep level, allowing clients to heal from past experiences and move toward greater emotional freedom and connection.
Interpersonal
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) helps clients explore how their relationships impact their mental health. I use IPT to support clients in improving communication, navigating life transitions, and resolving relational conflicts. The focus is on strengthening connections and developing healthier ways of relating to others to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.
Schema Therapy
Schema Therapy helps clients identify long-standing patterns—called schemas—that were often formed in childhood and continue to impact their emotions, relationships, and self-worth. I use this approach to help clients recognize and change deeply rooted beliefs, such as feeling unlovable, defective, or abandoned. Through insight, emotional work, and corrective experiences, clients begin to heal these patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking and relating.
