Morgan Shields, LMFT
Therapy for Anxiety and OCD in WA State
Now accepting new clients.
Welcome!
My name is Morgan and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in WA state. I enjoy helping people recover from anxiety, OCD, and other challenges, so that they can focus on building meaningful lives and relationships with themselves and others.
My practice might be a good fit if you are…
Struggling with anxiety, OCD, or depression
Experiencing burnout, or difficulty coping with stress
Navigating a difficult life transition
Struggling with perfectionism
Experiencing conflict in your relationships
Exploring your identity or beliefs
Struggling with self-compassion and self-acceptance
A collaborative approach to therapy
My approach is informed by evidence based methods such as ACT, CBT, and DBT, as well as narrative and existential approaches. This means that in therapy we will work together to identify patterns in your life that are causing distress, identify concrete strategies to make impactful changes in your life, and expand your understanding of yourself and your values so that you can spend more time focusing on the things that matter most to you.
I have specialized training in exposure and response prevention (ERP), widely considered to be the most effective method of treating OCD and anxiety, as well as I-CBT, a newer evidence based model of OCD treatment that can work well alongside or independently of other treatments. I also have extensive training in couples specific modalities such as EFT and Gottman method.
I tend to work well with clients who are motivated to actively engage in therapy and try new techniques outside of session. While my approach to therapy is informed by scientific research, you can expect our work together to be highly collaborative, strengths based, and human.
If you have questions about working together, or want to schedule a consultation, please feel free to contact me.
