I became a therapist because I deeply understand the struggle of living with depression, anxiety, and feeling disempowered. I vividly remember those moments of uncertainty and pain, as well as the profound impact my first therapist had on my life. Through their guidance, emotional and mental doors were opened that I never thought possible. That experience inspired me to dedicate my career to being a source of encouragement, hope, and transformation for others. I am honored to walk alongside my clients on their healing journey, empowering them to reconnect with their strengths and uncover new possibilities.

We all feel alone at times, like no one around us truly understands. That disconnection can lead us to withdraw from the people and activities we love. Whether it’s challenges at work, struggles with family or relationships, or a battle within yourself, I want you to know: you’re not alone. I’m here and I care. It’s okay to not be okay, and it’s perfectly fine to not have all the answers. Life is a journey, and while it can be rewarding, it’s not always easy. Sometimes, we find ourselves off course or without the tools we need to move forward. That’s where I come in. I'll provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can be vulnerable and authentic with every part of you; even the ones you don't like. Together, we’ll explore challenges, unpack burdens, and build tools to help you navigate life with awareness and self-compassion. I'll hold all of your pieces as you rebuild yourself into who you want to become. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Your pain deserves a voice, and your healing journey deserves the utmost care. Call or email me today so we can take that next step together. Don't suffer in silence for a moment longer. Let me help you, find you. (For a faster response, please email me!)

I attended the Culinary Institute of America where I received my bachelor’s degree in culinary arts and hospitality management. Through my experience in hospitality, I discovered my strengths in problem-solving and the joy of interacting with people. This rerouted my life path toward the field of mental health. After attending Fordham University and graduating with a master’s degree in social work, I went on to follow my passion for supporting the eating disorder population through my role as a recovery coach in an outpatient meal support setting. I remain an active advocate for raising awareness around the need for eating disorder treatment in communities. I am a recurring speaker for Delta Phi Epsilon during ANAD week on multiple campuses on the East Coast as well as an active member of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. I am currently working toward my goal of becoming a certified eating disorder specialist.

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 became a therapist primarily to work with adults who have ADHD.  Like many, my own ADHD was missed and misdiagnosed for many years.  By the time I found out the truth, I'd been through all sorts of crazy things.  Knowing there was a neurobiological reason driving the choices I'd made was so incredibly validating.  Not everyone is as lucky as I was.  Many of the adults I work with have found unhealthy ways to treat their ADHD, often with devastating consequences.   I consider it a privilege to help people discover that ADHD is an explanation not an excuse.  It's also the most treatable chronic mental health condition in the world.  Let me help you find the treatment that works for you.

ADHD is my specialty!  I've been an ADHD coach for over a decade and I'm a licensed master social worker and addiction counselor.  I love helping adults discover ways of calming the chaos in their homes.  More often than not, we find that they've had ADHD this entire time and no one recognized it....until now.  Looking forward to meeting you!

When I was in high school, I developed a strong curiosity for understanding relationships (both my own and others). It's because of this that I pursued my Bachelors degree in Psychology with a minor in Pre-Counseling and Therapy. The primary reason I became a therapist was due to my own experience with anxiety individually and in my relationships with others. I wanted to further understand how to manage it, and also to improve my relationships so anxiety was interfering. I believe that having the support of others is essential in learning to manage and confront challenges and difficulties in life.
