You have always been "the responsible one." You keep pushing yourself to excellence. But in your relationships? You make yourself smaller, minimizing your needs in the hope that maybe, finally you won't be "too much" for everyone else. But no matter how many hurdles you cross and how many achievements you make, that voice in your head keeps going. Shaming you. Criticizing you. You never feel "good enough." When will you finally be happy and content?

Do you want to change your course? Move in a different direction? We all develop perceptions about ourselves and our relationships based on our unique experiences.

I serve clients seeking greater satisfaction in their relationships and self identity. You'll collaborate in designing a treatment approach based on respect and compassion. Our focus is on your goals for change and your personal story.

I bring a down-to-earth approach to what can be a difficult, but rewarding, process. I have been practicing since 1999 and have learned, without a doubt, that people heal and grow when they feel safe, not judged and understood. So, that is exactly what you can expect. I work deeply and emphasize teaching clients about their emotional lives. Psychological difficulties are often rooted in barriers to knowing, understanding or supporting ones feelings and needs. This leads to emotional distress and is at the root of anxiety, depression, and the impact of trauma. This is often the emphasis of therapy.

Life involves constant changes, and is not always easy. Change is necessary for growth, but can cause confusion and discomfort, which may impair our ability to move towards the fulfilling lives we envision. Feelings of hopelessness and isolation often lead to unhelpful means of coping, which create a new set of problems. No matter what your struggle, you don't have to do this alone. I believe that a supportive, therapeutic relationship, with you in the driver's seat, can provide clarity and direction. My person-centered approach can help you feel more secure as you navigate your own path. I look forward to walking it with you.

On the outside, everything seems great. On the outside, others see that you’re hard-working, accomplished, and a go-getter. But on the inside, you are struggling. You are in a rut. You are constantly anxious. Your inner critic is constantly pointing out where you are falling short or reminding you that you are not enough. The fear of failing, disappointing others, and making mistakes can be overwhelming and exhausting. If this is you, welcome! My name is Dr. Leah Morgan and I treat the big and small challenges that people face in life. My work is driven by the deeply held belief that people get better and that every person can heal.

I believe that every person has the ability to heal their emotional pain, and this ability is already within. Love, joy, inner peace, belonging, and connection to self and others, are elements that form one's foundation for a meaningful life. This is something we all strive for and sometimes have difficulty attaining. My goal as a therapist is to help individuals find the answers within and to provide them with the guidance, support and encouragement needed to promote healthy change. I work from a strength based, interpersonal, and compassionate approach to empower my clients toward a healthier life.

Being a queer person in this day and age is really tough. It is scary navigating our current society on a day to day basis. It can be hard to know who is trustworthy and safe. This can be even more difficult for those who are questioning or exploring their gender identity and/or sexual orientation. I want you to know you are not alone.
