Rebecca Morris
Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has experience practicing therapy within residential, day programs and in-home settings for over 10 years. I work with children and adults regarding mental health, anxiety and depression, addiction, developmental delays, trauma, and homelessness.
I have training in the Nurtured Heart Approach that builds upon each persons greatness, giving energy to the positive and set clear expectations.
I aim to help my clients achieve personal growth and stability, listening to them and gently guiding them as they build their awareness of the strengths within themselves to persevere and heal.

I have a sense of humor that allows me to get to help sessions flow from weighing topics to moments of light heartedness. I have training in the Nurtured Heart Approach that builds upon each persons greatness, giving energy to the positive and set clear expectations.
Ideal clients
I truly enjoy working with a variety of clients. My experience is with severe mental health, cooccurring disorders and those who have endured trauma. I have worked with ages 5-70.
Treatment methods
Attachment-based
I have worked within residential settings with children and families using ABFT to address thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and exchanges that individuals have learned either to suppress and avoid due to early attachment issues.
Child-Parent Psychotherapy
I have used CPP with youth and families to address safety. Specifics are creating safety in the physical environment, legitimizing feelings and highlighting the need for appropriate behavior, and strengthening parent/child roles.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)
I have used CBT SP with young adults and children to help combined modalities such as CBT and DBT to address a suicidal event, safety plan development, skill building, psychoeducation, family intervention, and relapse prevention.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT has been a primary approach I use when working with individuals who use extreme coping defense mechanisms such as self harm or drug use. DBT addresses faulty coping mechanisms and focus' on building mindfulness to achieve insight on effective, healthy coping skills.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma informed care is a part of all of my treatment interactions. Trauma informed care has five major components safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness and empowerment.
