Carmen Morrison, Ph.D.
Education:
Carmen Morrison received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Graduate School of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. She also holds M.A. in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary, and an M.A. in Education from Alfred University in Alfred, New York. Dr. Morrison has been licensed in Pennsylvania as a psychologist since 1995.
Approach to Therapy:
Dr. Morrison believes that we as persons are made up of our emotions, our thoughts, our relationships, our bodies, and our spiritual selves. Based on this, she works from a perspective of first helping you stabilize your situation by making necessary changes in behavior. Medical or neurological contributions are examined, as well as possible nutritional deficiencies. She also then focuses on your cognitions, or thoughts, that are distorted or are contributing to your emotional pain. If systems in your life, such as family, work, or school, are a factor in your difficulties, these areas will be addressed. Finally, connecting you to the larger questions of existence, such as spiritual issues, and issues of purpose and meaning in life, are all very important for mental health. All of these areas are dealt with from a solid grounding in scientific literature and research.
