Dr. Morgan Lasley
As a Clinical Psychologist, I have spent the majority of my training working with children/adolescent and young adult populations. I received both my master's and doctoral degrees from Adler University and trained in forensic, neuropsychological, private practice, and therapeutic day school environments. The experiences I have gained across these training experiences have prepared me for culturally-informed and evidence-based treatments. My treatment approach is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), though I often implement different approaches (i.e., Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or DBT) which allow for further exploration of the tie between thoughts and feelings. Additionally, I work from a strength-based perspective to help the client identify ways in which they are succeeding rather than focusing solely on the “problems.” I believe that therapy does not end with the individual, and therefore make it a point to include family members in the process, while in turn striving to increase the communication among family members outside of therapy. In doing so, I am able to best support the client in as many ways and environments as possible.
I've worked with a wide variety of presentations, but have found particular success in working with neurodivergence (particularly ADHD and Autism).
First session
I like to start off the therapeutic relationships by getting a better idea of what a client is looking for in therapy, what their past experiences with therapy have looked like, and what they feel may be most beneficial for them moving forward. During sessions, I aim to be genuine, supportive, and available to guide the client in reaching whatever their therapy goals may be.
Strengths
I've worked with a wide variety of presentations, but have found particular success in working with neurodivergence (particularly ADHD and Autism). However, I have also worked with a number of clients presenting with anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, learning disorders, etc.
