Jessica Morton, MS, LMFT
Areas of Focus: Adolescents, Couples, & Families I view therapy as a partnership to begin a new chapter in a client’s life.

Once lines of communication have been opened, invalidated needs and feelings can be addressed. I listen to each person with equal respect because we are all human with the capacity to grow. I work to guide and support your journey toward inner confidence, healthy relationships, and life satisfaction. I am most practiced in working with teens who struggle in the following areas: depression, anger, anxiety, bullying, adoption, divorce, trauma, and social skills. With couples, I have addressed subjects such as grief/loss, infidelity, intimate partner violence, as well as others. I have focused my strengths-based specialty on couples’ communication, co-parenting, family therapy, career concerns, mindfulness practices, and specific troubles associated with social anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and self-esteem. |
