Lisa Morgan
Growing up in a military community as a student-athlete and bartender, I learned quickly that my passion and love for people would take the lead in picking a career. After receiving my master's degree at the University of Southern California in social work, I became clinically licensed in multiple states and worked in an acute hospital setting. After working in multiple hospitals and an array of community organizations I chose to focus on psychotherapy to help others on a more intimate level. With my acute care experience I welcome individuals navigating end of life decisions and trauma (whether it be physical or emotional). I have extensive experience working with couples experiencing communication issues and issues surrounding sex, connection and unhealthy cyclic behavior. Additionally, I see individuals working through all types of life transitions, depression and anxiety. I am a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and focus on sex positive choices and all relationship types including polycules and ethically non monogamous partnerships. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), solution focused therapy (SFT) and emotional focused therapy (EFT). I look forward to working with individuals and couples in all different stages of life to help them process, heal, and move forward with proper coping skills to be as successful as possible.
Everyone deserves to feel safe and heard during their most vulnerable times in life. Thats the space I work to cultivate every session.
First session
Clients in the first session should expect to be heard. They will be encouraged to speak openly and freely with no judgement. They will leave knowing they are in a safe space where ideas and thoughts will be grown, challenged and nurtured.
Strengths
My greatest strength is being able to connect with my clients where they feel comfortable and safe communicating with me. Providing a safe space and a place where people can be honest and vulnerable is my most optimal quality as a clinician.
Ideal clients
All are welcome. And all are considered ideal clients. I pride myself on being culturally competent and as inclusive as possible while also knowing that each client is different and will have the space to educate me on their needs and how their past has shaped their present. Ideal clients will come with questions and will be prepared to brainstorm possible solutions. Appropriate goals will vary from person to person but should involve the want to find clarity, grow in areas they have identified and be open minded to a collaborative therapeutic process.
