Muriel Gold Morris
Psychiatrist, MD

My 30 years experience as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst has taught me that people who are suffering need an approach that considers them as whole people in the context of their entire lives, their private concerns, family, work, and
relationship
experiences and problems, and not just for their symptom complexes. As a medical doctor originally, and in my teaching of others, I have always focussed on and addressed the clients' anxieties, depressions, and physical ailments from this broad viewpoint and as a result have found that physical health and well-being improve along with emotional improvement.

People seek therapy when they reach a crisis in a love
relationship
: with family, coworkers, employers and react with fear, pain, or panic when threatened loss of love and when love is lost - with depression and despair, anger, rage and revenge, and wish to die.
My method is interactive and interpersonal and is founded on establishing an emotional contact with the person that comes to me to help them understand their problems for counsel and guidance. I emphasize the importance of the emotional contact because in my experience life's conflicts and problems are intimately connected with feelings and emotions flowing from person to person. The most important feelings and emotions are those related to being able to love and be loved in return. Love writ large encompasses caring, friendship, an interest in the welfare of the other person. It also contains the varieties of sexual feelings and emotions. Everyone is engaged both in the (1) outward realm of actions upon things and (2) interpersonal actions, or interactions, among persons and communications of the inward realm of feelings, emotions, imaginings, memories, thoughts, and intentions. The inward states either persist as an impressions, conscious or unconscious, or, they become motives of an expression, the passage from a potentiality to the actuality of action. Psychotherapy addresses both the inward and the outward realms in a person’s life. This is how psychotherapy works.

Conversations surrounding mental health and well-being so often minimize the depth of a person's struggle and prevent them from ever asking for help. Your mental well-being should not be considered taboo, but rather a priority. Challenging life experiences happen to everyone, but we often have little information and guidance on how to navigate things like burnout, trauma,
relationship
turmoil... Whether this is your first time seeking treatment or if you are returning or continuing treatment, we can work together to help achieve your goals, better manage stressors, and improve the quality of your every day life.

I treat adults and adolescents with a wide array of emotional and psychological concerns, such as depression, anxiety, concentration problems, emotional dysregulation, and bipolar disorder. I also help individuals struggling with
relationship
or work issues, low self-esteem, anger/irritability, sleep troubles, and questions of meaning and purpose. A thorough and comprehensive psychiatric consultation demands that my patient and I do our best to understand all the potential reasons for their presentation for help. I focus on an alliance that supports an interaction of mutual involvement rather than a traditional paternalistic or authoritarian hierarchy in the doctor-patient
relationship

Couples Counseling Psychiatrists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
