Does stress and anxiety interfere with your life? Are you pushing yourself too hard or feel people walk all over you? Have trouble communicating with others? If you're looking for ways to cope when Life "lifes" you, then counseling may be right for you. I am committed to helping individuals, couples and families from all walks of life increase their communication skills, improve their relationships, and feel connected to themselves. I am a trauma-informed therapist with 12 years experience working alongside women, men and families dealing with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationships and self-esteem. I establish a genuine, trusting relationship with my clients allowing them to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I believe everyone has a right to be heard, is capable of change, and has the power within themselves to create a life they love.

Dr. Morris Lewis
I am a graduate of Michigan State University with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. I have been licensed to practice psychology since 2005. I have over 25 years of professional experience as it relates to working with clients from diverse backgrounds with a multitude of concerns. Understanding that one treatment modality or therapy approach does not fit all, my approach to counseling is foundationally based on meeting clients where they currently are and building bridges from there. I believe the quintessential ingredient in producing optimal behavioral outcomes is to understand associated emotions and thinking. One of the ways in which I can assist, is to help clients identify triggers and restructure faulty thinking patterns.

You know that person you always see nuzzled up with their favorite book in the corner of the local coffee shop sipping on a latte? That’s me. I’m the type of person who loves simplicity. I thrive off spending time with my husband and two kids. I love having game nights with friends and laughing till my cheeks hurt, studying the Bible, working out until my body feels like mush, and taking road trips to new places. This is me. What you see is what you get. Let’s be real though, life doesn’t always look like butterflies and rainbows. In fact, it can feel like an absolute beating. If you’re reading this, I’m guessing this is one of your “sometimes.” Stress, depression, emptiness, anxiety, and self-judgment are constantly knocking at our doors. It’s the worst, but the good news is it doesn’t have to stay that way. For as long as I can remember, my greatest passion in life has been to help people overcome the lows life presents. I absolutely love helping people. It's not what I do, it's who I am. My goal is to listen and equip you, so you can keep climbing higher in this journey called life. I'd love to chat if you're ready to get out of a valley in your life.

As you work through whatever is impeding your ability to be where you want to be, I will be there to support you. I approach the counseling relationship with compassion, empathy, and sensitivity.

The first session is all about building trust and creating a strong foundation for our work together. I’ll ask thoughtful questions designed to understand your unique experiences, perspectives, and goals. It’s an opportunity for us to establish a safe and open space where you can share what’s important to you, and I can gain a deeper understanding of how I can best support you. This session is not just about gathering information—it’s about making sure we’re on the same page, with a clear understanding of what you hope to achieve moving forward. While this first meeting serves as a starting point, I want to emphasize that our approach will be tailored to your needs and preferences. Over time, we’ll refine our work together to ensure it stays aligned with your evolving goals and personal growth. Ultimately, this is a collaborative, supportive journey, and I’m here to help guide you every step of the way. Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths. In my sessions, I strive to create an environment that feels safe, compassionate, and empowering. I understand that therapy often involves vulnerability, so I focus on building a space where clients feel truly seen, understood, and supported. My tone is both empathetic and encouraging—I meet each client where they are, offering validation and kindness, while gently challenging them to grow. Our work together is collaborative and client-centered. I tailor my approach to each individual, incorporating creativity and practical strategies to promote healing, skill-building, and self-discovery. Above all, my clients often share that they feel respected and heard, with the freedom to explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.
