MORGAN BETTERTON

AMFT (132527)

Hi, I am Morgan, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). I have always been fascinated by the complex nature of family dynamics and romantic relationships and I truly believe that the quality of our relationships is a key factor in our overall happiness, success and life satisfaction. This is what inspired me to pursue a career in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am extremely passionate about working with clients to overcome maladaptive patterns in relationships, while also enhancing communication and connection. I deeply resonate with John
Gottman’s work and I am certified in level one and level two of The Gottman Method for Couples Therapy. I specialize in teaching couples how to effectively navigate conflict by increasing intimacy, friendship, closeness and understanding. I also use motivational interviewing, family systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy and attachment theory in my clinical work.
My therapeutic style is highly person-centered, as I think there is great healing power in an authentic, non-judgmental and empathetic therapeutic relationship. I endorse a collaborative, personalized, strengths-based approach to therapy that allows clients to find their own answers within the context of a nurturing therapeutic environment. I encourage humor, lightheartedness and warmth to create a welcoming space for exploration and growth. Additionally, my background in clinical hypnotherapy, yoga and health coaching helps me to incorporate holistic modalities that are tailored to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to make therapy accessible and approachable for those who are interested in embarking on this journey. I look forward to meeting you and working alongside you!
