Alyssa Morgan, APC

• Kids experiencing distress from anxious thoughts and behaviors; I help them make sense of confusing emotions and guide them towards healthier ways to cope
• Teens dealing with distress that they didn’t ask for – the ones who feel trapped in a body and mind that doesn’t feel like theirs
• High-achieving women in their 30s who are reeling from unexpected life changes – the ones who expected their life to look a certain way, and who are instead dealing with low self-esteem and sadness as their reality looks nothing like what they imagined

‍

My style is grounded in empathy and non-judgment, as I believe safety and trust are built on these things – I prioritize the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship. My style of therapy is a mix of allowing the client to lead the session while still being structured. I check in often with my clients about the trajectory of therapy, how we are moving closer to their goals, and what parts of therapy we need to adjust. I want clients to feel secure, understood, and gently supported as they process their experiences, build coping skills, and move towards healthier patterns.

Outside of counseling, Alyssa is powered by coffee and a healthy obsession with reformer pilates. Her favorite title is “Auntie Lala” to her niece and nephew, she enjoys spending her free time outside, adores her husband and best friends, and you can always find her on her couch if a dramedy TV show is involved.

Alyssa practices under the direct supervision of Courtney Salter, LPC, CPCS.
