Kaila Morrison LCSW

I believe in empowering you to own your narrative, discover your strengths, and achieve realistic goals to thrive in your daily life. I utilize various evidenced-based models but also pay attention to specific needs that may require less structure at times. I like to measure progress based on your definition of what “thriving” in daily life looks like and feels like to you. Using this as a baseline, we can monitor progress and alter goals as needed to ensure that growth is occurring. You can expect that I will meet you with warmth and acceptance as we begin to craft a specific road to your recovery.

I specialize in EMDR for trauma recovery, CBT for anxiety, the Gottman Method for couples therapy, and Christian Counseling. I am passionate about integrating a faith-based perspective into sessions if faith plays a vital role in one’s life and growth process. Working with trauma survivors has sparked my interest in the growing number of studies revealing the impacts of trauma on the brain. EMDR reactivates different parts of disturbing memories and allows the brain to reprocess these experiences into positive ones. Utilizing this model in my practice has allowed me to witness powerful transformation with my clients through expedited growth and healing. CBT focuses on restructuring thought patterns and is particularly helpful for individuals struggling with anxiety.
