Hi, I'm Meghan Morley (she/her/hers). At Cognitive Pursuits we will take a collaborative, strengths-based approach to our sessions to create an environment of growth and healing. This space is meant to allow you to express authentically, seek fulfillment and feel empowered. I have a passion for partnering with clients to help meet their self-defined goals and would be honored to be a part of your journey.

My over ten years of experience working alongside LGBTQ people and clients of various backgrounds has shown me that personal change occurs best through relationships based on trust, and a common purpose. Relationships where you are encouraged to say what’s on your mind, take risks, gain new insights, and be challenged while not feeling judged. In our sessions together, I will focus intently on honoring your autonomy as we work towards your goals for therapy. My intention is not to teach you the “correct way to live" but to learn what already works for you and help create a space for you to explore yourself further.
