Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

As a professional of color and daughter of immigrant parents, my passion is to connect, strengthen, and empower communities of color to healing and resiliency in a culturally attuned and compassionate therapeutic process. I believe therapy is a collaborative process between patient and therapist. I have extensive experience working with adolescence, adults, parents, couples, and families developing and maintaining, healthy and fulfilling relationships. My services are offered in English and Spanish through tele-health. I seek to create a warm, attentive environment, to nurture an opportunity for therapeutic connection.

For over 11 years I have been developing a specialization working with adults to repair phase-of-life injuries, traumas, and persistent interpersonal and occupational troubles. I bring an open mind rooted in existential philosophy; I incorporate narrative methods to assist my clients in re-narrating experiences into useful, meaningful and life transformative stories. I have a useful background teaching in secondary schools in California for 12 years prior to becoming a therapist.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Do you feel overwhelmed and trapped by trauma, difficult feelings, and thoughts you can't shake? Are you looking for support for yourself or a family member experiencing symptoms of psychosis? Do you feel disempowered? It is my honor as a therapist to meet each client exactly where they are and use therapy as an opportunity for growth, validation, and empowerment. I enjoy collaborating with clients to understand their values, preferences, and goals, and identify an approach that research has found to be helpful for similar people. Ultimately, therapy should help light a path forward towards a life you enjoy and find meaningful.

“I’m having an existential crisis” & “I’m struggling with my goals” are oftentimes one of the first sentences that a person says to me when seeking therapy. My clients are vibrant, smart, creative individuals who want to increase their quality of life. People who come in for therapy are struggling with life transitions, grief & loss, career issues, artistic blocks, anxiety, disappointment, depression, anger, frustration, addiction issues, and interpersonal, or romantic challenges. They are looking to feel better, make strides in their personal lives and careers, understand themselves, and seek opportunities to change their lives.

Your child is a source of light. But perhaps you've noticed their light has dimmed recently and you feel concerned. Perhaps your teen is falling behind in school, having difficulty connecting with their friends, or experiencing confusion as they explore their gender identity. Your young child may be having anger outbursts or challenges with their behavior at home. Adjusting to the post-COVID lifestyle might be causing ongoing worries and changes in mood or personality. Or your child might have experienced a major stressor like divorce, a death in the family, or even a traumatic event like a car accident or an act of violence.

Even the hardiest hero needs a guide. Struggles with mental health often leave us feeling alone and hopeless. We'll often wander searching for help and healing.

I use a variety of techniques to help you hone the magic that is within you. I use a combination of EMDR, DBT, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to unleash your creative strength to help you on that journey to be your best you.

Hello, my name is Jordan Morrison, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 133351) based in Santa Rosa, CA. I am highly experienced in working with adults from diverse cultural or socioeconomic backgrounds, and I specialize in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, immigration issues, men's issues, life transitions, grief, and relationship problems often utilizing a psychodynamic approach.

Therefore, I have worked extensively with underserved and underrepresented folks from a variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Your mood’s been down and you’ve been feeling anxious all the time. The past and the future both feel daunting, but being in the present isn’t any easier. Maybe you’re drifting through life, dissociating, or fixating on food so you can feel a sense of control when everything feels hopelessly out of control. You feel stuck between oppressive social pressures, past experiences, and who you really are. Let’s get you back to you.

I take a collaborative approach to assist with symptom relief, healing, skill building, and recovery so you can live the life you desire with freedom, balance, confidence, and fulfillment. I have experience working with clients suffering from addiction, mental health crises, and dysregulation symptoms due to various stressors. I am best suited to working with adult and adolescent clients. I use empathetic and direct communication with clients to help them feel comfortable while challenging their growth.

I've discovered that seeking therapy is a brave shift towards healing and self-awareness. No one is immune to the trials and tribulations of life. You have the power within you for change and growth...trust yourself. It's important to build trust and rapport between client (you) and therapist (me). I would like to know why and/or how you've come to therapy and what your expectations are (after all, this is your time, at your expense). I'm interested in your life story. I've found honesty and vulnerability lay the foundation to building a new freedom.

I believe in the inherent wisdom of the body and incorporate emotional and somatic awareness into my holistic practice.

Additionally, I explore issues within the broader context of an individual's life, showing curiosity about diversity factors such as gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, ability, religion, spirituality, and community.
