Morgan Lavender

As a therapist, I take a laid-back and conversational approach to treatment, meeting you where you are at in your healing journey. I consider the client-therapist relationship a central component of our work together and you'll find that I make it a priority to develop a safe, trusting environment where you can feel at ease to explore your emotions, vulnerabilities and experiences with me. I show up as my authentic self with the people I work with, leaning on compassion, acceptance, and humor to tackle the difficult aspects of your experiences. Emotions can be intense and I’m not afraid to use the occasional swear word to emphasize the depth of what you are going through. As a somatic based therapist, I am extensively trained in the ways that trauma and stress impact our bodies, behaviors, thoughts and relationships and I utilize this area of therapy to equip clients with the tools to understand, navigate and work with their nervous system for increased regulation and emotional balance. Together we gently explore the sensations and emotions stored within your body, increasing your ability to access emotion regulation and self-understanding.
