LMHC, 13 years of experience
Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pittsburgh, PA. I am licensed in Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Washington State. I received my Master's in Community Counseling from Regis University in Denver, CO in 2012, and I have been working as a therapist in different capacities since that time. My areas of focus have been LGBTQIA+ clients, older adults, working in crisis assessment, intake assessment, and individual and partners therapy.
In my first session with clients, I do three things. First, I listen. I hear from them what it is that has inspired them to commit to taking this first step. I think this is really important. Secondly, I discuss with clients what their past experiences of therapy have been like- what has worked, what hasn't, and if they are new to therapy- what style of therapy would best fit their needs. With this we can customize a plan that works and makes their time and commitment worth it for them. Finally, I always leave time at the end of the first session for clients to ask me anything about myself or my practice that they feel would make our work together more beneficial for them. This is based in my commitment to Feminist-based psychotherapy, where the experience should be a shared space of power.
I think my greatest strengths are that I am human and I promote a sense of warmth and comfort in my style that helps people to feel safe to open up over time. I also have gained a lot of tools in my bag over the years, by talking with other clients- hearing their stories and working through their issues. With this experience, I can hear the client's approaches and strategies, and also share some that I have gained.
I love working with clients ranging from the younger adult age all the way up to old age. My initial experience was working with older adults and I really enjoyed that experience. I have also worked with a lot of clients in the transgender population, which as a trans person, myself has always been a joy. Finally, I have worked a lot with people who are polyamorous or ethically non-monogamous. I also can identify with this and really like providing a service to my clients where they feel heard and understood.

Morgan creates a safe environment for me to share my thoughts and feelings. She challenges my thoughts on emotions and some of my thinking that had been holding me back or making me feel ashamed. Morgan's use of ACT and the feminist model has been very beneficial to me. I made my first Life Map, which I always keep in view and refer to often. This has helped guide some of my choices as well as helped me notice when I'm not quite where I want to be. Very positive experience with Morgan.

I really appreciate Morgan's relatability and excitement to work with LGBTQIA people and feel that I will learn a lot from her. Thank you and I'm looking forward to our next session :).

Miss Morgan is not only very open and authentic, but they genuinely want to help even if that means guiding someone in another direction. I highly recommend their service, and am deeply thankful to have built such a strong base for my journey into therapy. They are very, very easy to talk to but also solution-oriented and honest.
I have been using this model for many years and have had great results with my clients. My main focus in ACT is condensing it into a "Life Map" which helps clients to know there values or what they "accept", related better to their emotions and internal experiences, and make informed choices about how they response and react. All of this is done through the power of noticing.
The feminist model is the theoretical foundation of my practice. This model emphasizes that distress and dysfunction originate from an imbalance of power. With that in mind, in this we work to bring awareness to power and work toward equilibrium of it.
