Family Systems Therapists in Highlands Ranch, CO

I understand that life brings unexpected transitions. During these transitions people sometimes need someone to help facilitate change, someone to listen without judgment, or voice their thoughts in order to gain a fresh perspective. My experience working in several inpatient hospitals has provided experience that helped me develop and hone effective counseling techniques and become familiar with counseling people of all walks of life. Experience includes: working with active military personnel, couples, struggles with chronic addiction, suicidal thoughts, and psychosis. I enjoy working with both adolescents and adults.

I am a seasoned master's level psychotherapist with 20 years of experience. I work with an interactive and direct style to help you move to a higher level of health both personally and relationally. Family Systems Theory helps me identify the connection of past hurt and pain to the your present concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Theory gives us tools for changing automatic responses to more desirable ones. I work with couples to enhance their communication styles and to resolve conflicts. I also like to work with premarital couples exploring strengths as well as potential growing edges.

I understand that your emotional health and relationships are important, and you deserve to receive quality assistance with these vital aspects of your life.

I believe every client with whom I work deserves personalized care, respect, and responsiveness. This attitude helps clients feel safe opening up and trying new ways of approaching life's challenges. Whether you seek individual, couples, or family therapy (or perhaps some combination of these) I invite you to call.

Life can be really really hard. Sometimes it's a blindsiding event that turns everything upside-down. Other times it's a slow decline into monotony, depression, or confusion. My goal is to earn your trust within the therapeutic relationship and work with you to determine who you are: to explore, engage, and enact a life that reflects your inherent dignity. Together we can set goals and determine a different direction to move in. We can't change where we've come from, but we have the opportunity to change the direction we're going in. Sometimes we need to be reminded: flowers grow out of piles of manure.

Hello! I’m AnnaLisa (“Lisa”) Morgione, MA, NCC, LPC. I am a mindfulness-based mental health counselor who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to compassionately attend to pain, trauma, depression, anxiety, and grieving.

As a counselor, it is my desire to provide a caring and safe environment where individuals and couples can discuss, explore, and resolve issues of concern in their lives. Areas of concern can be as simple as a feeling of being "stuck", dealing with specific difficulties in life, a desire for more fulfilling relationships, or assistance in navigating a time of change or transition. As a compassionate listener, my practice is based on a Person Centered approach to counseling. I consider each client to have their own unique life story and experiences and tailor my approach to their specific counseling needs, interests, and desires.

When you're feeling out of control, overwhelmed or unable to cope effectively, your life may feel out of balance. Talking to someone about the events or circumstances that led to these feelings can be helpful. Understanding the connection between our thoughts, feeling and actions can be life changing. Sometimes we need to peel back the onion a bit, in a safe environment, to be able to move forward. My goal is to work in collaboration with you to help you feel more prepared to adapt to the feeling and challenges you are experiencing and to learn some skills to be more in control and content with your life.
