Portuguese Therapists in Bernalillo, NM

I am so glad you are here! Life comes with so many challenges and uncertainties which at times feel overwhelming. I provide a safe space to explore the impact these challenges have on your life so that we can work together to identify ways of improving your overall wellbeing. Within the therapy relationship, you can truly focus on yourself without the fear of being negatively judged or shamed. My approach is strengths-based, and my focus is on supporting individuals wishing to make positive changes in their lives.

Dr. Meghan B. Morris, Director of Mind Garden Therapy New Mexico, LLC, envisions the therapeutic process much like tending a garden, in which seeds are planted in our minds: we are able to nurture our environments to allow growth and change in ways that see our dreams and potential flourish like flowers. She has extensive experience in working with survivors of sexual and physical abuse, and worked for many years with refugees and genocide survivors overseas, and has expertise in working through the traumas of complex and forced migrations. She also sees a growing number of clients struggling with difficult pregnancies and births.

In my work as a Marriage and Family therapist I intend to co-create a supportive, secure, and genuine relationship where you feel both safe and challenged to grow. I work with clients of all races, ages, and orientations, and my lens is trauma informed. Challenging life experiences and traumatic experiences can be healed through a felt sense of safety and trust and exploration of patterns and behaviors that limits our authentic self. I have experience working with adults, families, couples, adolescents and children.

Asking for help is a sign of strength. By seeking therapy, you are moving towards growth and transformation. Feeling challenged in relationships and wanting a deeper connection with the people in your life is a common desire, yet at times can be so elusive. You are not alone. By acknowledging this and getting support, you will have taken the first courageous step in moving toward healing.As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with families, couples, and individuals to detangle ingrained patterns. My work is to guide you in connecting to your innate strength and wisdom. I support clients in unraveling old wounds.

We have a lot in common. As human beings, our nature is to be resilient and wholehearted. Presence is fundamental to our wellbeing. We want the freedom to define ourselves on our terms and also to sense our belonging to the world around us. We live in an era when antiquated paradigms are giving way to new possibilities and, as humanity grapples with its place among the family of things, more equitable, sustainable, and intra-connected models for healing are emerging.

I work with families and individuals. I'll help you address issues such as Parent-Child Relationship Problems; Difficulty in functioning due to ADD; History of Relational/Family Trauma; Adult Trauma; Grief and Loss; Work and Career issues; Difficulty managing everyday stress; Depression and Anxiety.

My gift is to set the stage so you experience your deepest well being, free from all emotional upset. Since studying and practicing trauma resolution methods, and understanding the latest brain research, I have developed a unique psychotherapeutic modality,, The Connection Method™. It permanently resolves traumatic experiences and mood disorders. It is a system that goes beyond managing stress, depression, anxiety, impulsivity, psychosomatic illnesses etc. Instead, it transforms them at their core so you can live your full potential. I enjoy working with individuals of the most varied backgrounds, as I myself am from 4 countries.

I am a queer-identified therapist working in New York, Pennsylvania and New Mexico. EMDR, Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing are my guides to gently lead people towards healing themselves, something I believe we are all capable of. Together, we will set goals for recovery from trauma and major life stressors, incorporating neuroscience-backed strategies and spirituality where you are comfortable.
