"Regardless of the challenges you face in life, I believe growth and healing are possible. Therapy can help you deepen your relationships and cultivate more passion, meaning and resilience. My approach, a synthesis of a range of theoretical orientations, is built on a foundation of empathy, acceptance and trust. I won't view you as a collection of symptoms, but rather as a whole, complex person with a unique life and experiences. "

"Are you feeling stuck? Does your life seem to be on hold? Are you struggling with worries & anxiety or sadness & depression? Are you facing a relationship challenge with your spouse, your child, a collegue or friend? Or do you have health concerns such as allergies, stress, weight, etc? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Health & Life Coaching offers you an effective method for resolving your problems & realizing your goals. In helping you, my focus will be on bridging the gap between where you are now and where you hope to be in the future."

"I was born and raised in Chicago, IL and completed my Master’s in Counseling Psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Having worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I have aided children, teens, young adults, and their families through a plethora of life events. Through my work, I have grown to recognize the challenges that come when individuals or those close to them are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and substance abuse. I believe that positive change can occur through a trusting therapeutic relationship and aim to provide exactly that to my clients."

"I believe in building collaborative relationships with my clients. Many of the people who come to see me are insightful and know that certain behaviors or symptoms of depression, stress or anxiety are holding them back. We will work together to both help you develop better coping and self-esteem, as well as developing a better understanding of your issues and problems. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and DBT can help with this. For more information on my background please visit the "credentials" page on my website."

"Keith Morgan, LCSW is a psychotherapist and co-founder of Emerge Mental Health & College Counseling whose interests include anxiety, mood disorders, grief, trauma recovery, LGBTQ identity, family/interpersonal conflict and life transitions. He has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings supporting young adults, adolescents, and families."

"My style of therapy is best suited towards clients who hope to develop a meaningful therapeutic relationship that can be used to better understand and address uncomfortable feelings and problematic relational patterns. By helping clients talk about disappointing and hurtful relationships throughout their lives, I have been amazed to see how well clients can make sense of what once seemed confusing and disorienting, ultimately moving forward with greater clarity and confidance. Additionally, I have a deep respect for the healing process that ensues when people can increasingly express their feelings and thoughts free of fear, discomfort, or inhibition."

"My practice is multicultural, multilingual (Japanese, Spanish, and English), and multidisciplinary (as a former teacher). My approach is flexible and practical. I work with clients to identify major issues and develop treatment goals. Clients are empowered through access to reliable psycho-educational tools and materials to better prepare them to advocate for themselves and others. We then work together to (1) develop individual coping skills, and (2) cultivate social/environmental supports (e.g., linkage to support groups, strengthening of community or family ties). My goal is to enable clients to resolve issues/manage symptoms independently (without professional help) in future."

"Why am I here, and what are my lessons? The hard things in life, the things you really learn from, put you at a crossroads where you feel stuck and the pressure mounting. Everything is stressful and you feel powered down by the confusion, responsibilities and commitments. Something has got to give! Fortunately pain is an excellent teacher precisely because it gets our attention. I assure you the struggle you're experiencing now is guiding you. Struggle is a bonafide indication of real and important progress. If you're trying to gain traction, but don't remember how, I am here to help you move forward and heal from within. "

With a background in both clinical social work and literature, I am skilled in helping you first identify and then reimagine the themes and storylines of your life. My objective is to help you rediscover your potential and lead a more satisfying, self-aware existence."

"My Doctorate is in Clinical Psychology from Alder University, Chicago. I bring to my practice the experience of a first full career in education. My area of expertise was Reading and Learning Disabilities emphasizing thought, language, the process of comprehension and meta-comprehension. This influences my therapeutic work in using the power of narrative in the journey of one's life. I collaborate with each client in an environment of respect, dignity, and compassion providing pathways to mindful understanding and positive changes: when experiencing personal distress; in personal growth; with interpersonal and family relationships; and, in school or career development."

"Are you feeling stressed, stuck, or sad? Are you coping with the loss of a loved one? Perhaps you're not feeling satisfied in your relationships. I will collaborate with you to identify creative strategies to better understand yourself and your connections with others. I will listen and offer non-judgmental guidance as you take steps to improve the way you feel. Sometimes words alone aren't enough to express yourself. I will guide you in meaningful, non-intimidating artmaking to help you meet your goals."

"Sometimes life goes awry: dreams don't work out, relationships change, tragedy strikes. Other times, things are going well and we want to continue the progress. Regardless of what's brought you here, therapy can be a great way to help. The foundation of my work is trust; I want to ensure you feel safe and comfortable in therapy. Since 2007, I've practiced in many different environments and helped thousands of patients work toward their goals. I'm cross-trained in several fields and have worked in outpatient, inpatient, and emergent settings with a variety of populations including pediatric, adolescent, and adult."

"*I am not accepting clients in Chicago, but have availability in Oak Brook.* I have had the honor of journeying with people during emotionally challenging times in their lives. My therapeutic style is one that is continually mindful of my clients' individual experiences and strengths while creating a safe environment that promotes emotional growth, insight, and self- understanding. Our emotional distress is often rooted in patterns of our experiences, past and present. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one that helps to cultivate change."

"Whether you wish to gain clarity about a life challenge or seek to resolve a deeper change from within, our work together will present an opportunity to rework the patterns that may be disrupting your relationships or preventing you from fulfilling your life goals. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, viewing our therapeutic relationship as central to the change process, while helping you to understand how conflicts from the past affect the way you feel in the present. I approach our work together from a genuine, empathetic stance. It is important that we are partners in your healing process."
