If you’re here, there’s likely something in your life or relationship that no longer feels sustainable.

You may be successful on the outside while quietly struggling with self-doubt, anxiety or emotional exhaustion. Your relationship may feel stuck in familiar patterns, even though you care deeply. Or past experiences like trauma, loss, betrayal, attachment wounds, or years of high-pressure environments may still be shaping how you show up in your life today.

You don’t need to be in crisis to begin therapy. You just need to be ready for something to change.

I’m Morgan Silverman, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Costa Mesa, California. I provide in-person therapy throughout Orange County and virtual therapy across California and Arizona for individuals and couples seeking meaningful, lasting change.

I specialize in working with:

• High-achieving professionals navigating relationship distress, burnout, or imposter syndrome
• Professional couples caught in pursue–withdraw or fearful-avoidant patterns who want to rebuild connection
• Individuals healing from trauma, attachment wounds, or emotionally complex childhood experiences
• People moving through major life transitions such as relocation, divorce, career changes, identity shifts, or grief

Many of my clients are thoughtful, intelligent, and deeply responsible, they’re used to holding everything together and trying to solve things on their own. Therapy becomes the place where they can finally exhale, feel seen, and stop carrying it all alone.

I believe therapy should do more than provide insight, it should create real emotional shifts.

My work integrates evidence-based modalities that go beyond traditional talk therapy:

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps the brain naturally heal from distressing experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming or emotionally charged. It’s a powerful, evidence-based approach for trauma, anxiety, negative core beliefs, performance blocks, relationship wounds, and patterns like perfectionism or chronic self-doubt. As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Approved Consultant, I help high-functioning individuals move beyond simply coping toward deep, lasting healing.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples

As a Certified EFT Therapist and Supervisor-in-Training, I help couples identify negative interaction cycles, deepen emotional safety, and rebuild secure connection. EFT is one of the most researched and effective models for couple’s therapy.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy

IFS helps clients understand and heal different parts of themselves, such as the inner critic, perfectionist, or overwhelmed protector. Rather than fighting these parts, we learn to relate to them with clarity and compassion, creating internal balance and resilience.

This integrative approach allows us to work at the root level and not simply manage symptoms.

My practice is intentionally designed for clients who value depth, discretion, and highly personalized care. You won’t receive surface-level coping strategies alone. Instead, you’ll experience:

• Structured, evidence-based treatment with thoughtful planning
• Therapy that supports real change at the level of your nervous system and brain, helping you respond differently to stress, relationships, and life’s challenges
• A warm, attuned, and focused therapeutic presence
• An approach that balances emotional depth with practical forward movement

Clients often share that they feel both deeply understood and gently challenged and supported emotionally while also moving toward meaningful, tangible change.

I regularly pursue advanced consultation and training to ensure my clients receive current, research-backed care.

I provide in-person therapy in Costa Mesa and throughout Orange County, including Newport Beach, Irvine, and surrounding communities, as well as virtual therapy for clients across California and Arizona.

Many of my clients are executives, attorneys, entrepreneurs, physicians, and creatives who appear confident and capable at work while privately carrying the weight of responsibility, performance pressure, and emotional fatigue.

Therapy becomes a place where performance is no longer required.

I believe growth requires both courage and compassion.

Seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness, it’s often one of the most honest and self-aware decisions a person can make. My role is to create a space where you feel safe enough to explore honestly and supported enough to make meaningful change.

Whether we are working on relationship repair, trauma healing or helping the inner critic, our work will be collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in respect.

If you’re ready to explore working together, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We’ll discuss what’s bringing you in, answer your questions, and determine whether we’re a good fit.

Therapy can be a turning point, not because it changes who you are, but because it helps you reconnect with who you already are.
