I commit to encouraging pro-social behaviors in Children, Youth and Families. Informed by Family Systems and Cognitive Behavior Theories, my field of practice understands that individuals cannot be understood in isolation from their interactive social environments. I provide a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space which centers the client as the expert in his or her life. I operate from the belief that people have many abilities, beliefs, competencies, skills and values that can assist them in minimizing the impact of challenges in their lives.

My ideal client...Well it's anyone wondering why they are not getting what they want from life and relationships. I want to empower and help those that are feeling stuck and don't understand why after trying and trying they just can't seem to get ahead. Those that are wondering "Why am I constantly a "doormat", being taken advantage of or passed over?" I help those those that are having difficulty with having and getting what they need out of relationships with friends, family or romantic partners. I also help those that are struggling to find their voice or purpose in this world.

Life can be both exhilarating and terrifying! The world clouds our minds and emotions and sometimes we just need a safe place to sort it all out and CONNECT. I enjoy working with clients to help them find balance, to feel known, seen, respected and cherished in their relationships. We all have past hurt and fears and expectations that trip us up! I help clients understand themselves and their spouse better. From there we can begin to untangle and lay a new foundation built from purposeful communication, new emotional connection and intentional actions and habits that make life more solid. I welcome First Responders!

First of all, I want to congratulate you on taking a very courageous step in seeking out counseling services. This is no small feat. Whether you are seeking counseling for healing from your past or because your current ways of coping are no longer working, I consider it a great privilege and honor to be invited along your journey to healing. I approach counseling from a holistic and integrative perspective. The family you grew up in, the resources you had access to, your beliefs, personal life experiences, and resilience all make up who you are today and how you learned to function in the world.

Are you feeling like there is no hope, or were you told to just “learn to deal with life this way”? Are you searching for strength and purpose? Is the voice of fear drowning out the voice of confidence to make it through your problems?? When I look back on my biggest life struggles, including facing a diagnosis of cancer and permanent blindness, I realize counseling helped me find the strength to overcome. I want to teach others resilience and to give back through my profession. Let me now help you face your fears with strength and find happiness in your time of darkness!

"If my aim is to prove I am enough, the project goes on to infinity; because the battle was already lost on the day I conceded the issue was debatable." ~Nathaniel Branden. As an experiential therapist, I "name the elephant in the room" & help clients navigate obstacles denying them pure joy in living. I work with clients to get out of their own way, embrace their power, choose "gutz over fear," & not let their worst enemy be between their own two ears. My clients learn the power & responsibility of choice, self-compassion when self-esteem fails, respect in accountability, grace when failing forward, and celebration & love of self.

Relationships are hard work. You desire to be the individual that you are, but also try to figure out how to overcome the changes that being in a relationship can bring. Not all relationships are created equal. I want to help you cultivate a healthy relationship (whatever that may look like for you) as well as encourage a healthy relationship with yourself. I desire to provide you with a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where you feel safe to discuss your difficulties. It will be an honor for me to accompany you on your journey of realizing your potential, whether it be individually or in your relationship.

"Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it's holy ground. There is no greater investment." (Stephen Covey). This quote is very relevant in my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor as I work with my clients through their journey of personal struggle, helplessness, anxiety, fear, and despair. Through a collaborative relationship, I will support you to explore and dispel fear, overcome anxiety, regain confidence, establish self-control, and deal with loss and negativity. I am committed to providing you with a warm, supportive, and therapeutic environment while allowing you to explore your strengths and challenges!

Are you a woman struggling to overcome pain, loss, grief or trauma? Are you looking for purpose in your life or wonder where God is in all of this?

Christy Morrow
EdS, LAPC, CTMH
I like working with people who are experiencing that "stuck" feeling, that we all, at times, go through. I believe that someone's thoughts have a great impact on how that person feels and acts. I show how these thoughts form habits and offer practical tools to help people change their habits in order to change their lives. I work well with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and people who suffer from low self-esteem. I like helping people with stress management and help them develop coping skills. I help people who experience anger due to their circumstances. I have considerable experience dealing with grief and loss.

Brandy's belief is that spirituality/religion are important elements of many people's lives. Her orientation as a counselor is from an Adlerian perspective where she seeks to understand what a client is striving towards; what motivates them; any misunderstandings and mistaken goals; and assist in moving towards success at life's tasks. Brandy typically focuses on the relationship and psychoeducation and uses encouragement. Her goal is to encourage growth and for clients to understand their power to change; for them to gain awareness through psychoeducation; and for them to be able to apply information and insight to their situation.

Hello and thank you for stopping by my page. Are you feeling stuck? On Edge? Depressed? Do you feel differently than you expect to feel and can't quite put your finger on what the feeling is, or where those feelings are coming from? Have you or your child experienced trauma (past or recent) and you are not sure how to work through it? I am here to guide you through this messy and often unpredictable process. Our experiences when we are very young shape us in myriad ways and we often get stuck in these seemingly unnoticeable patterns. It is never too late to uncover our authentic self through retraining our brain and body!

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
