Meet Morgan

You want to feel more connected — to your partner, your purpose, and yourself. Yet right now, something feels off. Maybe anxiety or burnout is holding you back. Perhaps you’re stuck in old patterns that no longer serve you, or your relationship feels distant and strained. You might be doing all the “right” things but still feel unfulfilled inside. You know change is possible — you just don’t know where to start.

I’m Morgan Silverman, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-19584) in California and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-15409) in Arizona. I'm dedicated to helping people like you find clarity, healing, and deeper connection — both within themselves and in their relationships.

Therapy is more than just talking. It’s a process of transformation — changing how you relate to your thoughts, emotions, and the people you love. Together, we’ll work to quiet your inner critic, heal old wounds, and build emotional resilience so you can move forward with confidence and compassion.

Whether you’re facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for you to explore, reflect, and grow. I believe everyone deserves a life and relationships that feel meaningful, authentic, and whole — and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.

My Approach

I believe the most effective therapy happens when we build a genuine partnership — one that feels safe, attuned, and deeply respectful. My role is not to “fix” you but to guide and support you as you access the strength, wisdom, and resilience already within you.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you can explore your inner world, uncover your strengths, and move beyond the patterns that have been holding you back. I’ll meet you with compassion and curiosity, while also offering gentle challenges when needed so you can grow in ways that feel both safe and empowering.

My therapeutic style is warm and emotionally focused, blending empathy with science-backed methods designed for lasting change. I’m passionate about helping high-achieving individuals and couples overcome anxiety, burnout, trauma, and relationship struggles by addressing the root causes, not just the symptoms.

I’m certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), two evidence-based approaches proven to heal trauma and strengthen relationships. EMDR helps you process and release painful memories so they no longer carry the same emotional charge. EFT focuses on deepening emotional connection between partners, breaking cycles of conflict, and creating safety in relationships. Additionally, I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to gently explore the different “parts” of yourself that may be in conflict — helping you cultivate self-compassion and internal harmony.

Many of my clients find that these approaches not only reduce symptoms but also transform the way they see themselves and others. For example:

  • A professional who once lived in constant anxiety may learn how to calm their nervous system and finally feel at peace in their own skin.

  • A couple caught in endless arguments may begin to hear each other differently, finding safety and closeness again.

  • A person haunted by childhood wounds may reconnect with their younger self, offering compassion and healing they never received at the time.

This is the kind of change I believe in — not just temporary relief, but deep, meaningful healing that reshapes how you live, love, and lead your life.

A Little About Me

Outside the therapy room, I’m a wife and mom to two spirited, adventurous little ones who keep life joyful, unpredictable, and full of wonder. Parenthood has given me a deeper appreciation for balance, patience, and self-compassion — qualities I bring into my work with clients every day. My kids constantly remind me to lead with love, stay curious, and embrace imperfection, which shapes the way I understand growth and resilience in therapy. I’m also deeply grateful for my husband, who has been my steady anchor through life’s many transitions and my biggest encourager in pursuing this work.

I grew up in Northern California in an interfaith home, celebrating both Christian and Jewish traditions. This unique foundation shaped my ability to hold multiple perspectives at once, honor complexity, and approach each client’s story with openness and respect. My Christian faith informs my understanding of hope, healing, and connection, but I never impose these views. Instead, I’m always open to exploring spirituality, values, and meaning when clients desire it — and just as comfortable focusing outside of that when it isn’t central to someone’s journey.

My personal journey has taken me from the fast-paced energy of New York City, to the warmth and rootedness I found in Arizona, and now to the vibrant and inspiring coast of Southern California. Each chapter has stretched me, opened me to new cultures and communities, and enriched the way I connect with people from diverse walks of life. These experiences allow me to bring a culturally sensitive, relational, and deeply compassionate lens to therapy.

When I’m not in session or with my family, you’ll often find me at the beach soaking in the ocean air, exploring new hiking trails, or enjoying a quiet moment with a good book. I love learning about psychology, spirituality, and leadership, and I’m passionate about weaving together science and heart in the way I live and work. I also enjoy connecting with my local community of therapists and professionals, continually learning and growing so I can bring fresh insights to my clients.

Most importantly, I see myself as a fellow human on the journey of growth and healing. The same compassion and curiosity I extend to my clients are values I strive to live by in my personal life as well. I believe relationships, authenticity, and grace are at the core of a meaningful life — and those are the qualities I hope to embody both inside and outside the therapy room.

What to Expect in Therapy

It’s normal to feel nervous before starting therapy. You might wonder what to say, how it will feel, or whether it will really help. That’s why I prioritize building trust from the very first session. You’ll never be pushed to share more than you’re ready for, and together we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

Our sessions will be tailored to your goals. Sometimes we’ll focus on processing old pain. Other times we’ll work on strategies for the here and now — calming anxiety, building confidence, or strengthening communication in your relationships. Therapy is flexible, dynamic, and responsive to your needs as they evolve.

Start Your Therapy Journey

You excel in your career — but feel stuck beneath the surface. You give so much to others — but struggle to feel connected to yourself. Therapy is a place to slow down, heal what hurts, and create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

With personalized therapy for high-achieving professionals, individuals navigating life transitions, and couples wanting to strengthen their bond, you can expect support that is both compassionate and research-based.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to schedule a consultation. Together, we’ll explore your goals and begin creating a path toward lasting change.

You don’t have to carry the weight alone. Real healing is possible — and it begins here.

Couples Therapy & Relational Healing

Morgan’s passion has always been rooted in relational healing.

Her certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) positions her as a trusted and evidence-based practitioner in the field of couple’s work.
