Therapists in Ardmore, PA

I help you get to the heart of your inner conflicts with questions like: What are the different parts of your personality? Why do you keep repeating the same patterns over and over? Why do you choose one emotional response over another? If you're experiencing addictive patterns (either to substances or behaviors), I can help you find autonomy even if you feel you're self-sabotaging. I am also adept at addressing men's issues, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Anyone who is committed to self-reflection will benefit from my non-pathologizing approach to emotional balance. I devote myself to easing a person into knowledge of their cognition, their character, and their life script so that they feel empowered to embrace themselves fully and edit their experience as they please. I have built a system of diagnostics that leads into health, rather than out of "illness." I support you in understanding the purpose of your pain. I know how many mental health appointments simply leave a person feeling that they have one more knot to undo, one more stuck point lingering. I offer you a new view of yourself that is based in holistic wisdom. You'll embrace the realities of your inner life from a place of resourcefulness and present-focused awareness.

Hi, I'm Morgan! I'm a Philly-based clinician with a background in Art Therapy & Counseling. I provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, negative thinking, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. Therapy is a safe way to explore prominent themes of identity, relationships, and gain a deeper understanding of our internal experiences. As a queer clinician, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals to explore prominent themes of identity while processing experiences with discrimination, gender dysphoria, questioning, and interpersonal conflicts. I apply an integrative approach based on the client’s individualized needs, implementing tenants of Art Therapy, Feminist Theory, Internal Family Systems Model, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (T-F CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I aim to create an open, warm, and non-judgmental environment while promoting insight and self-empowerment!

Hi, I'm Morgan! As a compassionate clinician with a background in Art Therapy and Counseling, I am dedicated to assisting children, adolescences, and families in resolving internal conflicts and promoting self-confidence.  Art Therapy is a safe way to explore prominent themes of identity, trauma, emotion regulation, and self-esteem. Art therapy interventions that promote creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being. No previous art experience is required as each session is about the process, not the product's quality. My art therapy specialization encourages collaboration, goal-setting, and focusing on individual strengths while acknowledging the challenges you hope to overcome. I specialize in working alongside individuals that have experienced various behavioral, emotional, and psychosocial circumstances. I have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ populations coping with complex trauma, suicidal ideations, and self-injurious behaviors. Individuals of all ages face interpersonal conflicts, and I aim to provide a comforting, warm, and non-judgmental environment promoting insight and self-empowerment.

Welcome! Examining life is like inspecting a car, each part — the engine, wheels, and brakes, are components interacting to ensure smooth operation. Changes in one part affect the entire driving experience, much like shifts and challenges in specific aspects of our lives impact our overall functioning. As a holistic-based therapist with a focus on a systems theory lens, I approach therapy by considering the entirety of the individual. Acknowledging the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, we will delve into multiple factors that can profoundly influence your overall health.
