I appreciate the time you are taking to choose the best person and process for your specific needs. Being a college student requires a lot of difficult choices, and I know finding a counselor can be hard as well. Here are some thoughts about how I work, but please contact me if you have other questions. My goal as a counselor is to shape our work around the needs, goals, and overall direction you want to take in your life. If you have very focused, concrete issues you want to address, we’ll use a solution-focused approach to create plans and strategies for focused change and growth. If you have more broad, complicated things to address, we talk about a deeper purpose and meaning for your life that can serve as a foundation for more significant changes. No matter what you would like to talk about in counseling, we will capitalize on your strengths as a whole person to create the change you seek.

Therapist & A Couch is dedicated to creating space for healing. Welcome to my profile! As an existential-humanistic therapist, I believe that the search for meaning and purpose is central to our human experience. I approach therapy with a deep respect for each individual's unique journey and the complexity of their inner world. My practice is grounded in the belief that we all have the capacity for self-awareness, growth, and transformation, and that therapy can help us tap into that potential. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. As an existential-humanistic therapist, I prioritize the exploration of the big questions in life: Who am I? What is my purpose? What gives my life meaning? Through this exploration, we can begin to gain insight into our deepest desires and fears, and develop a greater sense of authenticity and connection. I draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques, including mindfulness, experiential therapy, and the interpersonal process, to help clients deepen their self-awareness and increase their capacity for emotional expression. I also emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship, recognizing that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is a key factor in successful therapy outcomes. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with empathy, curiosity, and an open heart, I invite you to reach out and start your journey towards greater self-understanding and fulfillment.

You don't have to navigate these struggles alone!

Together, we will work on building your confidence and finding the self-assurance you need to move forward. You don't have to carry the pressure of "getting it right" all by yourself.

Hello! My name is Morgan, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since starting my career in 2015, I have worked in community-based mental health, private practice, schools and hospitals. Since 2021, I have primarily worked in tele-health, so I am well versed in making virtual sessions as comfortable and productive as possible. Before becoming a therapist, I played college volleyball. When I think of the most difficult times in my life, transitioning from high school to college is near the top. Trying to juggle living on my own (being homesick), college classes and a full-time volleyball schedule was no joke. I struggled with Depression and I wish I would have had someone to talk to, someone to help me adjust to this crazy time in my life. I want to be that person for others just like me. I’ve worked with children and adults dealing with life-changing situations, such as Depression, Anxiety, and ADHD. However, I believe that therapy is for everyone, so even if you don’t feel you are dealing with severe issues, I also assist clients with stress, self-esteem issues, coping with general life changes, relationship issues, family conflicts, anger management, communication issues and coaching.

If you've ever felt misunderstood, struggled with recognizing your worth, grappled with questions about your identity, or faced challenges in relationships, we're here to listen to you. If you find yourself weighed down by deep-seated emotional experiences, memories that are confusing, unclear, conflicted, or downright painful, we can help you. We understand the importance of processing and unpacking trauma. Sometimes you need to explore the deepest and darkest aspects of your experiences in order to find the inner strength that will push you forward. These moments can produce actual healing and growth which occurs most often in a safe therapeutic relationship with a therapist who listens carefully and responds with genuine acceptance and empathic understanding. Our approach centers on you, providing a nurturing environment where you can delve not only into topics like self-image, self-esteem, sexual and gender identity, and relationship difficulties, but also into those complex emotions and memories that might be lurking beneath the surface. Those who find our approach most beneficial often seek a space where they're free to be themselves without fear of judgment, a place to sift through their emotional landscapes with care and attention. If you're looking for a therapeutic experience where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore your emotions, memories, and challenges at your own pace, then our client-centered approach might just be the right fit for you. Our psychologists offer individual, family, relationship and sex therapy that is affirming and sensitive to all aspects of diversity. We also offer affordable neuropsychological assessment and evaluations for attention, memory, learning, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and Autism. If you are uninsured or paying out of pocket, please ask us about sliding scale fee options for students so we can accommodate your needs.

I specialize in working with people experiencing voice-hearing, paranoia, or unusual beliefs. These experiences are often clinically called psychosis, schizophrenia, or schizoaffective disorder. These experiences often get in the way of finishing school, but they don't have to. Let's talk and see if I might be able to help you make sense of things.

Healing takes courage—and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor offering telehealth sessions across Wisconsin, and I specialize in supporting college students and young adults who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. My own healing journey has shaped the way I show up in therapy: real, compassionate, and non-judgmental.

Between academic pressures, relationships, family expectations, and figuring it all out, it’s easy to feel weighed down or anxious.

This is a collaborative space where your voice matters, your feelings are valid, and your growth is the priority. I use a variety of evidence-based therapies including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), psychodynamic therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), combined with mindfulness, body awareness, and practical coping strategies. I help young adults break free from old patterns, process what hurts, and build confidence, clarity, and resilience—supporting healing on every level: mind, body, and spirit. I bring authenticity, empathy, and even a touch of humor to sessions so you can feel safe, challenged, and supported as you grow. In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, clarify your goals, and begin shaping a personalized plan that works for your life. Flexible telehealth sessions make it easy to start from anywhere—dorm, apartment, or home. Together, we’ll take intentional steps toward healing, growth, and empowerment. Whether it’s anxiety, trauma, grief, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a turning point—and I’ll be here to walk alongside you. Your next chapter starts here.
