Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Austin, TX
My clients typically fall into three categories: 1) individuals with existential angst, questioning their trajectory in relationships, careers, and/or life; 2) individuals suffering from a myriad of compulsive behaviors/addictions; and 3) couples experiencing communication difficulties, misaligned values, discordant desires, or desiring archetypal reconstructions. My work emphasizes identifying & isolating troubling emotions that lead to negative thinking and behaving, and learning to think & act according to reason. I am offering in-person sessions and teletherapy.

My experience in working with clients has taught me that I am not the perfect therapist for everyone. I use metaphors and my writing background to help clients view their worlds in a different way. I have trained with EMDR and utilize it with clients to assist in managing trauma. I have worked with clients struggling with addictions of many kinds, and I utilize ACT and narrative therapy on a regular basis.

Among others, I attempt to incorporate techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-sensitive frameworks.
Hi! My name is Morgan (she/they), and I’m passionate about supporting individuals navigating the complexities of life. I am particularly focused on working with marginalized clients, including people of color, LGBQ+ folks, trans and gender nonconforming individuals, and those from other underrepresented populations. I also enjoy collaborating with queer, kinky, and non-monogamous couples and relational systems. I understand that each of these identities carry unique challenges, and I strive to create an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and validated.

I am experienced in CBT, ACT, solution-focused, trauma-informed, and person-centered therapy modalities.
My approach to counseling acknowledges that treatment is as varied as humans are. Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and development, not the counselor’s desires for them. I am deeply compassionate, non-judgmental, and believe that the most effective therapy is truly collaborative between client and clinician.I work with clients across the lifespan but have most experience with children-middle aged adults. I work with individuals as well as couples and families, and am open to clients with “non-traditional” family styles such as chosen families and non-monogamous relationships with or without children.

I have experience working at the PHP and IOP levels of care for eating disorders. I strive to build a collaborative relationship with my clients and provide them with a sense of hope. The process of eating disorder recovery is not linear and can be challenging. However, treatment is most successful when intervention is early.
