Hello and welcome. I am a bilingual (Spanish-speaking) psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults, adolescents, couples, and families navigate trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, shame, and major life transitions.
My approach is rooted in depth psychotherapy, which means we explore not only symptoms, but the deeper emotional patterns, early experiences, and unconscious narratives that shape how we live and relate to others. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful and lasting change.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from University of San Francisco. I also completed four years of doctoral training in depth psychotherapy at Pacifica Graduate Institute.
In addition, I have specialized training in expressive arts therapy through John F. Kennedy University and extensive experience working with survivors of domestic violence through training with the Marjaree Mason Center.
Change feels risky. Staying the same feels worse. I offer individual therapy for teens and adults to inspire positive change. Sitting across from me feels warm and unhurried. People tell me they relax in a way they didn’t expect to. I listen closely, not only to your words, but to what sits underneath them. You will feel how committed I am to understanding your actual story rather than a tidy summary of it. And because I want you to reach what you came here for, I will challenge you, too. Gently, and in ways that move you forward. You will not spend the hour filling silence while I wait. I stay active in the work, naming the patterns as they surface and handing you practical steps to try before we meet again. I do not force your life into one method. I blend skill, insight, and a good deal of intuition so the work fits you. Over time, you notice yourself handling stress in steadier ways, saying what you mean more clearly, trusting your own judgment again. You start coming to therapy to refine how you’re growing rather than to survive another hard week. And as you find your footing, you build the confidence to keep moving on your own.

My journey to becoming a therapist was deeply personal. For a long time, I struggled to find my true meaning and purpose on this earth. That changed entirely when I began working with individuals with cognitive disabilities. Witnessing their resilience and realizing that I could make a tangible, positive impact in someone’s life gave me a profound motivation to live and thrive. It sparked a passion for human connection that shapes everything I do today.
I believe that the most impactful therapy starts with a genuine, down-to-earth connection. As a LMFT, my approach is less about being a rigid mentor and more about being a trusted, supportive collaborator. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and truly comfortable—much like talking with a close friend who has the professional tools to help you navigate life's challenges.
I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and individuals in their 20s and 30s who are navigating life transitions, relationship dynamics, and identity development.
Additionally, I bring a unique and deeply patient perspective to my practice as the founder of a company that specializes in relationship training for individuals with cognitive disabilities. This background has honed my ability to meet clients exactly where they are, offering exceptional patience, tailored communication, and practical tools for building healthy connections. Whether you are working through personal growth, relationship hurdles, or everyday stress, we will work together at a pace that feels right for you.

With over 25 years of experience in mental health, education, mediation, and coaching, I bring a client-centered, solution-focused approach that helps clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward their goals with greater confidence.
I especially value short-term therapy that is focused, intentional, and tailored to each person’s needs. My goal is to help clients feel heard, supported, and equipped with tools they can use long after therapy ends.

Welcome to my GT profile. Starting therapy and growing takes courage; locating the right therapist takes time and patience. I just want to start there and say that I admire you for taking a step of self-care by seeking support.
Whether you are struggling with worry, sadness, grief or just the daily grind and carrying the weight of work, school, or the world home with you, therapy can provide a safe space to talk and expand ways of thinking and coping. Many folks coming to therapy do so because they’re either in a general funk or they’ve dealt with acute life stressors or trauma—they often recognize this struggle negatively impacts their sense of peace, outlook, health, purpose, relationships, and performance at work or school. My intention is to help you foster insight, build skills and grow psychological flexibility.
My practice focuses on three areas:
• Individuals in high-pressure helping and public service professions, including first responders and those working in EMS, Fire, Law Enforcement, Corrections, Dispatch, Judicial settings, Healthcare, Mental Health, and Education. My dual Master’s degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and Trauma & Related Conflict, combined with lived experience, allow me to offer a culturally informed understanding of the unique challenges these roles carry. Together, we address operational stress, strengthen resilience, and support sustainable well-being.
• Adults navigating identity, authenticity, creativity, and life transitions, including LGBTQ+ individuals and those seeking to reconnect with themselves, clarify their values, and build lives that feel meaningful and aligned.
• Older adolescents and emerging adults preparing for graduation and the transition into college, vocational paths, or adulthood as they explore who they are, what matters to them, and how they want to move through the next chapter of their lives.

My name is Ashley Morgan. I am an LCSW by profession, and a mother, wife, daughter, friend, lover of the outdoors, horse girl and forever life learner by creation. I was drawn to a career in mental health due to my awareness and involvement with mental health crises from a young age. Pursuing my graduate degree in social work, with an emphasis in mental health, only strengthened my passion for working with others along their mental health journey. I have professionally been working in the mental health field as an LCSW for over ten years and still find my work extremely gratifying and fulfilling. I believe it is truly a privilege to work alongside individuals as they are experiencing some of their most vulnerable moments in life.

I offer a space where your pain can soften, your story can unfold gently, and you can be met with warmth and compassion without judgment. I draw from CBT, TF-CBT, MI, mindfulness, and person-centered, holistic practices — not as rigid techniques, but as tools we weave into the moments when you need grounding, clarity, or a way to steady yourself. Over time, your voice gets stronger. Your patterns make more sense. And the parts of you that learned to survive begin to feel safe enough to soften.
