Kristen Morgan

“

I have spent more than twenty years in social work walking alongside youth, adults and families in clinical care, residential treatment, leadership and training. My career began with the Brain Injury Alliance of Montana, where I worked closely with individuals and families navigating life after a brain injury. Together we faced challenges related to employment, health, education and relationships. As Program Director I supported statewide groups and educational conferences and collaborated with community and state leaders to expand services that help families truly thrive.

​

For the past several years I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at a residential treatment center for youth, providing individual, family and group therapy for adolescents living with complex trauma and co-occurring diagnoses. Working so closely with families, schools and community programs has shaped my understanding of how trauma, stress, anxiety and strained relationships ripple through every part of a person's life. I bring a deep knowledge of community resources and a strong commitment to advocacy, collaboration and empowering the people I work with.

​

I believe healing happens in safe, steady relationships. As a therapist my first priority is creating a space where you, your partner or your child can speak openly about what is really going on without judgment or pressure. From that foundation we explore what feels overwhelming or stuck and build practical skills that support you outside the therapy room.

​

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. I am trained in EMDR and the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), and I integrate DBT, CBT, Somatic Interventions, Narrative Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care. In our work together we pay attention to how trauma and anxiety show up in both the body and mind, learn tools to regulate intense emotions and gently process experiences that continue to affect you. We move at a pace that feels safe, supported and grounded so you can become the author of the life you want and deserve.

​

You do not need to have the perfect words or a clear plan before reaching out. I offer a 15-minute consultation call and would truly welcome the chance to connect. The first step is often the hardest and you don't have to take it alone.
