"We know that, when we run into pain and trials, they can be good for us because they help us learn endurance. And endurance develops strength of character in us, and strength of character brings hope.  And hope does not disappoint us..."
St. Paul
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 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.
