Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner because of my deep passion for helping people achieve mental wellness. Seeing the difference that compassionate care can make in someone’s life drives me to continue. I'm motivated by the opportunity to empower individuals and help them overcome mental health challenges.

My approach is holistic and patient centered, ensuring that every treatment plan is personalized to fit your unique needs and goals.

I believe in empowering patients to take control of their mental health through personalized, evidence-based care.

My passion for mental health stems from my desire to support individuals in their journey to wellness. Working in diverse clinical settings deepened my commitment to holistic care. I’m inspired daily by the progress my clients make and the opportunity to help them overcome challenges and achieve their mental health goals.

Hello, I’m Dr. Bobby Morton, and I’m here to support you on your mental wellness journey. With 19 years in healthcare, I’ve practiced across emergency departments, community clinics, and inpatient care, each experience deepening my understanding of holistic, personalized mental health care. My work focuses on helping veterans, geriatric patients, and those affected by addiction, using a compassionate approach grounded in evidence-based treatment. I believe in thorough assessments and collaborative care plans, working alongside patients and other members of their healthcare teams to ensure the best outcomes. My academic background, including teaching roles at Purdue University and Husson University, allows me to apply the latest research to my practice. From medication management to lab evaluations, I tailor care to each individual, aiming to create an environment where every patient feels supported, heard, and respected. Treatment philosophy: I start with a thorough evaluation, guiding patients through an understanding of their mental health and ways to manage symptoms in all aspects of life. I prioritize finding the right treatment approach, whether it's medication, therapy, or lifestyle adjustments, always grounding my practice in evidence-based care. Working collaboratively, I aim to create a treatment plan that empowers patients to reach their mental wellness goals.

The answer is kind of funny. I originally wanted to be a high school teacher. While I was student teaching I started off in a middle school. I enjoyed it so much that I tried to see if I could stop the planned switch over to the high school (I couldn't). After graduating, I didn't want to teach at all. I went back to school to earn a Master of Social work. I did not initially want to become a therapist but wanted to work in community outreach. My first internship was in a psychiatric hospital and I absolutely fell in love with the mental health field.

I am the owner and founder of Rowe Counseling Services and have been in mental health treatment for over 8 years. I am licensed in both Mississippi and Louisiana. I have experience working with all age groups. I apply various therapeutic approaches in my work including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I always take a client-centered approach and allow you to take the lead in your treatment while I simply act as your guide. Just as many other therapists do, I treat disorders such as depression and anxiety. My specialties however are trauma, dementia, and substance abuse (especially opioid abuse and the use of treatments such as Suboxone and other forms of buprenorphine). I also utilize somatic psychotherapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy for the treatment of trauma and attachment issues. Traditionally, many forms of therapy focus on the influence the mind has on the body. However, trauma is a body response. Somatic and sensorimotor psychotherapy addresses the body to improve the mind. Please, feel free to reach out for a brief consultation to learn more about more about my approaches, my services, and my fees. While I am self-pay only, I do assist with reimbursement for out-of-network benefits. I can quickly check for eligibility.

I came from a childhood with a lot of uncertainty and fear. I initially wanted to learn how to make kids who grew up like me feel better and overcome with resilience. What keeps me going is knowing that resilience only comes with adversity. I'm hoping with our work together you won't have to be as resilient because you won't have to go through hard things just to know you are good enough. I really think healing ourselves collectively is all that will change things, and I think we are ready for change. It starts with the only people we can control - ourselves. 

Hi, I am a social worker passionate about helping others find their way. 'Helping professionals' are typically the last to take care of themselves, and I want to change that. You are worth all of the care and love you give to others. I want to help you truly internalize that. 

For most of my life, I wanted to be in a helping profession - I wanted to help people. Much like life, my path was not linear. I became a teacher and through this role, I noticed that most of my students and their families experienced many stressors and lacked the skills to cope with the stressors. Fast forward - the 2008 recession hit and I was laid off from my teaching position and decided to pursue a career as a marriage and family therapist. What motivates me to continue are the amazing and resilient clients I have had the honor of serving and supporting.

Hey there! I’m Summer and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, serving all of California virtually through Telehealth. In my practice, I take a collaborative, client-centered, and strength-based approach toward healing. Honoring each client’s personal needs and intersecting identities is one of my top priorities and creates a foundation for my work. Through incorporating expressive arts, mindfulness, and embodiment, I empower you to explore and identify the patterns and behaviors that are no longer serving you. Being a therapist brings me so much joy, and I feel that it’s an honor and a privilege to walk with people during their most vulnerable moments.

I have always been the person that people feel comfy talking to. Like, people in grocery store lines have told me deeply personal things. There is no judgment. I really like seeing someone "get it" and there is nothing better than helping someone become their authentic self.

UPDATE: not currently accepting insurance, out of network only, but lets check your out-0f-network benefits and see whats up So, you're considering therapy? I get it, things are crazy and it feels like we are living in a really bad late-night movie, complete with sad and pathetic villains. I don't have any magic over here, but I do have a place where we can hopefully get you to a place that looks more like where you want to be. I have an eclectic approach, which is a fancy way of saying that I don't rely on any one way of getting to where you want to be. But my starting point is always from a place of your strengths, the things you are already doing well; you are not your symptoms. I trend toward elements from Acceptance and Commitment, Narrative, Positive Psychology, Existentialism, Brief Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Behavioral Activation, and Mindfulness. I am progressive in my politics, a non-believer, and I welcome cursing as a means of expression. I believe that humor can get us through a lot of things. I mention this only because I have often had difficulty finding my own therapists that didn't wince when I said fuck or want to steer me in a spiritual direction. I am LGBTQ+ and BIPOC affirming and welcome folks from all backgrounds and ethnicities.

I became a therapist because I have always been passionate about helping others navigate their mental health challenges. Seeing clients work through their issues and find relief from their symptoms is incredibly rewarding. My motivation to continue stems from witnessing the positive changes in my clients' lives. Whether it's helping someone overcome anxiety, cope with trauma, or build self-esteem, the progress my clients make inspires me daily. I am driven by the belief that everyone has the potential to heal and grow, and I am honored to be a part of that journey. The diverse therapeutic approaches I use, including RECBT, EMDR, Gestalt therapy, DBT, and IFS, allow me to tailor my practice to meet each client's unique needs, ensuring they receive the most effective care possible.

I am licensed in New York with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I am trained in Rational Emotive Cognitive Behavior Therapy (by the Albert Ellis Institute of New York), EMDR (by EMDRIE) and my practice also includes interventions from Gestalt, DBT, Internal Family Systems, and other therapy approaches. I believe that when addressing fears and anxieties, the most effective approach is to work toward facing those fears a little bit at a time with tenderness, patience, acceptance, and imagination. I often see clients work through their problems and experience relief from symptoms after getting to the bottom of their core fear. In my practice, I also see a lot of individuals with perfectionistic styles, traumatic backgrounds, and self-neglect, that result in procrastination or overwork, burnout, and self-blame. I am here to support and empower you to change these symptoms by shifting to flexible attitudes and beliefs, which frees up room for problem-solving and behavior change.

I truly have a heart for people who have been through trauma. Walking along side clients as they work towards being able to gain hope, a greater self-esteem, and take steps towards a life they want to live is so powerful. You have a story to tell, a voice that deserves to be heard. As long as there is even one person that needs to be heard, I want to continue to be a therapist that listens well.

Now accepting NEW clients with daytime and limited evening availability! Every person has a story to tell, a life that matters. I have always been a listener and value the importance of someone's story. I work with teenagers and women who have been through traumatic experiences, who have a story to tell. My desire is that my clients have a safe, warm place where they feel comfortable opening up. I aim to make sure that every client feels seen, heard, and valued as they navigate through their trauma, anxiety, depression, and daily life struggles.

I became a therapist because I believe in a holistic approach to health, addressing both medical and emotional needs. What motivates me to continue is seeing the positive impact mental health care can have on people's lives, helping them achieve their best possible health. My goal is always to provide compassionate, patient-centered care in a trusting environment.

I became a therapist to aid individuals, couples, and families in self-discovery, symptom reduction, and learning better coping mechanisms. What motivates me to continue is the privilege of helping clients summon their emotional, mental, and spiritual strengths to begin the process of healing and moving forward.
