Morgan Schmitz

I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I work with adults of all ages in identifying your unique strengths, providing you with new tools, and collaborating to activate those strengths to help you feel more equipped when taking on many of life's challenges. It can be really hard to create meaningful change of behaviors or thoughts that may no longer be serving you. I would love to join you on a journey of change that involves reconnecting your mind and body to empower your sense of Self and the beauty of the present moment.

My approach tends to be direct and evidence-based while prioritizing compassion, fun, and judgement-free curiosity of why we - as humans - do the things we do. I love exploring the power of CHOICE as it relates to clarifying your circle of control amidst problems that you may or may not have caused. Together, we will find creative strategies to develop the life YOU want! This could range anywhere from mindfulness tools, music therapy, acceptance, working through trauma, or a fresh approach to observation. I also have past experience in Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy, which has enhanced my clinical perspectives to include a unique approach to demonstrating the value of relationship and the present moment.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for things to be different, I would be honored to walk alongside you towards healing and growth. In our first several sessions, we will take some time to get to know one another, and form a collaborative understanding of your experiences and what you hope to accomplish through our work together. From there, we will create a safe and rewarding environment to push towards those goals one step at a time. While we know progress is not linear, it is my goal for you to leave sessions feeling empowered, respected, and ready to take on the next day.
