Have you been having flashbacks or nightmares of a traumatic event? Are you having trouble sleeping or staying asleep? You may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. Some other symptoms include anxiety, weight loss, isolating yourself, confusion, and even chest pains.
Luckily, Newburyport has many excellent counselors who can help with PTSD and other disorders. Newburyport also has some fabulous attractions and parks that you can enjoy once you get treatment from one of the therapists in town. Some of these include walking tours, Newburyport Art Association, Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Custom House Maritime Museum, and the Maudslay State Park.

Karel Morton
I have been a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the Boston area for nearly 25 years having graduated from the University of Virginia and the Boston University School of Social Work with a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work. I have experience with inpatient and partial hospital treatment, but found that I loved working with clients individually on an outpatient basis. Though I worked in a substance abuse program, my clients presented with many other issues ( which often led to their substance abuse) including depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, self-esteem, grief and loss, and relationship conflicts. I took time off from professional work to raise my four children and hold volunteer positions in schools, church, and the community. This has given me a broader life view and an expanded perspective, and I feel I am a much better therapist for having had these experiences. I am a strong believer in the power of the therapeutic relationship and a client based approach. I believe that therapy should be tailored to each client's specific needs, with the therapist acting as an ally and partner in the process of identifying what is keeping you from reaching your goals. My therapeutic approach incorporates elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I am warm, empathetic, accepting and non-judgmental, but will challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs when needed and help to empower you by teaching coping skills and mindfulness techniques. Sometimes we are all just doing the best we can, but it feels better to have someone offer an objective view, cheer on your strengths and successes, and just be there for you when you need it. I look forward to working with you !
