Portiaatrice Morse, LMFT (she/her)
Psychotherapist

In May 2011, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a burning desire to make a mark on the world. I remember reflecting on my experiences thus far that molded and shaped my curiosities of the world. Shortly after, I decided that my mark would be best served in the community that raised me. I became an outpatient mastered level marriage and family therapist offering in-home therapy services. I spent a great deal of my clinical work listening to profound narratives of resilient individuals and families who felt like they had been dealt a bad hand yet were able to still see the value of making it out.

 

With that being said, it is not about the hands you’ve been dealt but how you chose to manage the cards you’ve been given. I specialize in natural systems family therapy which has awarded me the privilege of working with a diverse population. I provide an unbiased and genuine space where you can share your experiences and learn to become more differentiated by gaining self-awareness to better manage the cards that have been dealt instead of being defined by it. I offer emotional support, psychoeducation, and other skills to expand the endless possibilities of how life can be. We all have inherited a lifetime of cards; however, it is up to us to take it over, make the most of it, and do the best we can with the new knowledge to make informed decisions.

 

My overall goal in therapy is to aid in you becoming the expert of your life so that you know yourself and those in relation to you so well that you no longer need me as the “expert of therapy”, and instead can apply the necessary tools and knowledge to create a new way of being to thrive in a world that sometimes seems so uncertain. Thank you for taking the first step in making a change in your life by opening yourself up to the new possibilities of how to play the game of life. Although this journey may not always be easy, it is important to honor your right to try something different.
