Transgender Therapists in Hamlin, NY

Welcome, I'm Morgan (they/she)! Since 2019, I've been working in community mental health and now have decided to take my experiences into a private setting. I enjoy serving those in the queer community, non-monogamous relationship structures, and BDSM/kink dynamics. I also enjoy working with young people by giving them a safe space in which to explore their identity, and have begun supporting those with late diagnosed Autism. My additional passion is supervising/guiding new therapists in the field to develop as professionals.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, dissatisfied or angry? I provide a safe, caring and non-judgmental environment. I tailor my treatment approach to the needs of each individual patient to build on the strengths you already possess. Therapy is people talking with each other to discuss life's challenges, personal concerns and emotional problems. I can help you regain control in your life by gaining insight, and learning coping skills to manage uncomfortable feelings. We will focus on the solutions that can lead to positive change.

The decision to start therapy is a very personal and courageous one. Therapy is a process of change, empowerment, and self-growth. I have worked with people from all age groups, ranging from children to older adults. I have a particular interest in the psychological adjustments of parenthood. It is through the struggles in life where we emerge stronger and more compassionate people.

Choosing a therapist is a bit like shopping: you want a fit. With over 40 years of experience, I can offer you that comfort level to help resolve your issues. I have authored 9 books, am a licensed art therapist, certified yoga therapist, yoga teacher, EMDR trained clinician, and Ericksonian trained hypnotherapist. As an expressive art/ yoga therapist, I offer both somatic-oriented work and expressive outlets. While we will certainly talk about your issues, we clearly have other means of communication available for articulating and directing your wellness.

One of the hardest things is to reach out for help and be vulnerable. I am hoping that we will be able to make that journey together. If you are struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, seeking gender affirming care please consider me. My own personal journey has brought me to become a therapist. It has provided a unique perspective that sets myself apart from other professionals due to my personal experience with gender and sexual identity. As a person who identifies as part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community myself, I am proud to specialize in LGBTQ+ affirmative treatment.

When I’m in session with you I’m completely focused on you and your needs. Therapy is a special time for you to sort out your needs, wants and emotions in a safe way. I’m a Vietnam era veteran who has worked with combat veterans with severe PTSD combined with alcoholism and drug dependence for 22 years. Combat trauma and childhood trauma are frequently entwined within and create many life problems. Let me help you sort that out on your journey to healing.

As a therapist for the past 15 years, my expertise includes working with adolescents, adults, families, and couples experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, issues around life transitions, and family conflict.

I look forward to being able to help you reach your goals and have a fulfilling and healthy life.

I am so glad you are here! It’s often the most caring people who forget to care for themselves.

I would love the opportunity to be a part of your journey as I have extensive experience working with teens, young adults, and families. My goal in our work together is to provide a safe, trauma-informed, and social justice-aligned space.

Life transitions and relationships can be challenging. Life changes whether they are expected or unexpected can cause anxiety, stress, and sometimes depression. Trying to start or grow a family can be more difficult than it is made out to be. Facing relationship difficulties whether it be the relationship you have with yourself or with a significant other and questioning your sexual or gender identity can be challenging. If you want to have some additional support and tools to navigate difficult times.

I have had the pleasure of working in this field for more than 35 years and have found that no problem is too big, peace is a position of power, and change is another word for refine/revise/adapt.

Counseling is a way to learn the barriers to doing this, the tools and techniques for doing so, and shifts in beliefs needed to attain the trickle down effect from this. Clients with whom I work often are seeking shifts in their life/spiritual view, focus, behaviors and coping skills.
