Hello! My name is Caralee Morrison and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. Every person comes to therapy for different reasons, and I'd like to work with you to determine the best-individualized approaches that will help you reach your goals. My focus areas are ADHD, anxiety, depression, post-partum depression, post-partum anxiety, secondary infertility, and adjustment to an injury or disability.
My approach
I have a client-centered, strengths-based approach to counseling. I understand that all situations are unique, and I want you to feel comfortable when meeting with me. I honor the time that you are taking to participate and strive to provide a non-judgmental environment with empathetic active listening.
My focus
My client focus includes individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences, from adolescence and into adulthood, who are seeking support or growth. I am comfortable discussing adjustment to a diagnosis or disability, employment issues, parenting, pregnancy difficulties, post-partum transition, and relationship concerns.
My communication style
My communication style is welcoming, empathetic, and respectful. I want to foster a collaborative relationship with you, where open dialogue and honest feedback are encouraged. I believe in the power of laughter and, when appropriate, use humor in my communications. I strive to be clear, concise, and supportive in my interactions.
My journey to mental healthcare
What attracted me to a career as a therapist was the opportunity to help people grow into the vision they have for themselves. We all have things happen in our lives that are difficult to navigate alone; Being a therapist allows me to combine empathy, knowledge, and practical skills to support individuals in their journey towards growth, healing, and well-being.
My goals for you
When it comes to goal setting, I like to collaborate with you to identify what they want to achieve and then break it down into small steps. I like to utilize your unique strengths when creating a plan. I don't believe that one size fits all so if we agree to try an anxiety reduction technique that doesn't work for you, I want to know so that we can try something else. I want to discuss practical ways for you to benefit from therapy.
My first session with you
In the first session, you can expect a friendly introduction and a chance to share your story, concerns, and goals in a safe, confidential space. We'll discuss confidentiality, the therapeutic process, and any questions or concerns you may have. Together, we will outline what you hope to achieve from therapy and how we can collaborate to make that happen.
