Chelsea Morgan: MS, LPC
Menomonie Clinic Lead
​Clinical Supervisor
Areas of Focus: Adolescents, Adults, & LGBTQIA+

My goal is to have therapy be a space that clients enjoy and even look forward to attending. Through talk, skill practicing, mindfulness techniques, or play we can find what works best together. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for anyone looking to discover what may be their current barriers. Everyone has the ability to make behavior changes but sometimes need an outside perspective to help us find our strengths. My passion is helping clients learn about themselves to discover what they want for their future selves. Change and vulnerability are difficult but can feel much easier with the right supportive therapist helping guide you along the way.

I have experience working with kids, adolescents, and aging adults. My areas of interest include self-esteem, gender identity and exploration, and life transitions. In addition, I am skilled in helping individuals cope with the effects of trauma, depression and anxiety and I enjoy providing support to members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

James Roe MA, LPC, SAS 
Areas of focus: Teens and Adults

Does it feel like you're stuck in quicksand in your life, and the more you struggle, the further down you find yourself falling?  If you are interested in trying something new and creative instead of the same old solutions you have tried again and again, I would feel honored to assist you in that endeavor.  I often tell my clients that I am here to help them make the changes they need to go from surviving day to day to really thriving in a vibrant way.  I acknowledge that change is difficult and am very empathetic in realizing how hard it truly can be.  

I have worked with a wide variety of people who have struggled from the effects of trauma and chronic mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, addiction issues, bipolar spectrum disorders, ADHD and schizophrenia. I also have experience assisting those working through issues such as relationship conflict or adjustment difficulties.   I enjoy working with adults and teens, in individual, couples or group settings.  Through mindfulness, metaphors and experiential exercises, I like to assist people's growth in psychological flexibility so that they can embrace choices that bring greater meaning and fulfillment in their lives. ​
