Hey there! I'm Kat! I believe that therapy is most effective when rooted in authenticity. New to therapy? Not sure where to start? No problem. I'm all about providing mental health care that's compassionate and free of judgment – it doesn't matter your age, gender, identity, ethnicity, relationship style, or culture; I'm here to help. I am EMDR trained and a NASW-trained ally in care as an LGTBQ+ affirming provider.

College is often called "the best years of your life," but for many, it feels like an endless loop of performance, pressure, and old patterns. Whether you're navigating the heavy fog of academic burnout, the "lonely-but-smothered" cycle of new relationships, or a major life transition that has left you feeling completely ungrounded, I’m here to help you find your footing. I believe you shouldn’t have to "fix" who you are—especially your sensitivity. Instead, we’ll work on learning how to use it as your greatest compass. How We Work Together With over 23 years of experience, I’ve learned that the most powerful tool in the room is a real, authentic connection. I use a relational, mind-body approach—blending ACT and CBT—to help you name the barriers in your way and retire the survival patterns (like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or masking) that no longer serve you. I’m known for putting students at ease quickly; our first session isn't a "clinical intake," it's a grounded partnership. Specialized Support for Students: Neurodivergence & Burnout: Strategies for ADHD/Autistic students to manage executive function without the "perfectionism" spiral. LGBTQ+ Identity: A safe, affirming space to explore your identity and navigate coming out or relationship transitions. Relationship & Family Cycles: Breaking free from toxic patterns and setting healthy boundaries. Trauma & Identity: Healing from the past while figuring out who you are today. Addiction & Recovery: Navigating campus culture while staying true to your sobriety or harm-reduction goals. The Highly Sensitive Student (HSP): Tools for when the world (and the dorms) feels too loud or overwhelming. Mind-Body Wellness: Supporting students with Alopecia or autoimmune disorders through the emotional toll of chronic illness. Beyond the Office I am a firm believer in the healing power of the outdoors. When I’m not in the office, you’ll usually find me hiking with my dog and finding new adventures in the fresh air. Ready to start a chapter that actually belongs to you? Reach out and let’s see if we’re a good fit.

I work with teen and adult individuals from a humanistic, somatic, mindfulness based perspective. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is a guiding force in the healing process and an essential component for clients to more deeply access themselves. In our time together, we will increase awareness around your relationship to self, relationship patterns with others, how you work to notice and process feelings, how you relate to past wounds and trauma and how you regulate through stressful times. Together we will increase your capacity to compassionately trust and come back to yourself over and over again. I offer a compassionate presence to hold space for whatever you are carrying; especially for people who identify as women. I work with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD and family conflict in addition to dealing with the every day stresses of life. My goal is to support you so that you can feel more equipped to show up fully in your life.
Do you feel stuck in life and are unsure how to move forward? Do you feel helpless about your future and where it might lead? Do you stay up at night worrying about friendships, classes, or the life/work balance? Do you sometimes get consumed by feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, loneliness, depression, or anxiety? If you answered yes to any of these questions then the therapists at Liz Morrison Therapy might be the right fit for you. Therapy can help to challenge and reframe the behaviors and thoughts that keep you stuck and scared. It can also help you to stop comparing yourself to your friends, family, and the people on your social media feed. As your therapist, we would work with you to develop practical skills and strategies for dealing with your stresses, worries, and fears. We offer real-world guidance in making positive changes in your life and remain on your side throughout. When we work together, you get the support and guidance you need to take small, manageable steps toward your goals. Step by step, we’ll come up with a plan to figure out how to build the future of your dreams.
Prior to moving to Colorado with my family in 2021, I worked at Florida Gulf Coast University as a Staff Psychologist and Clinical Director for 12 years. I would be honored at the opportunity to help you (or your student) if the services offered on campus are not sufficient or effective. Please visit my website to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call to learn more and see if I might be a good fit for you.
Life can often present us with challenges that leave us feeling not like ourselves. Many of us seek to deepen connections to feel a sense of peace, wellness, and fulfillment in our lives, but don't know where to begin. I offer a holistic approach to therapy using evidence based practices, somatic/body techniques, mindfulness/meditation, & family systems techniques within an attachment framework. If you are experiencing changes/transitions, have concerns about self-esteem and identity, or experience stress, anxiety, depression or trauma, let's work together to provide you a space to process your experiences and sense of relief. I offer telehealth, office, and nature based sessions. The outdoors can offer a place of healing and rejuvenation. My practice utilizes nature to enhance the healing impacts of traditional talk therapy. I offer a walk-and-talk model that combines the freeing element of being outdoors with psychotherapy. Movement in the outdoors gives us the ability to access our emotions and process our experiences while feeling grounded and attuned to the moment. This can be a new and inspiring experience for those who have tried traditional office-based therapy and felt they needed something different or more dynamic.
Life is challenging and confusing, especially during a time like right now. Given the pandemic, many of us are attempting to find normalcy in an extremely abnormal situation. Everyday life has become even more stressful, it's harder to be in relationship, and finding moments of "okay" might be few and far between. Having your own space to talk about your experiences, whether dealing with the present situation or managing old wounds, is not only important but beneficial for maintaining our mental health. I work with adolescents, young adults and adults on a variety of issues. Primarily, I help clients by bringing attention to the storylines we have created (and will continue to create) about ourselves that cause pain, distress, and disconnection. These stories might look like: I am not [fill in the blank] enough; I should be happier/more successful/less afraid; I am unworthy of love; I can't manage life on life's terms; I’m an outsider. Uncovering these storylines and reframing them is the beginning to living a different life, one that feels, well frankly, better.
As a psychologist, I create a supportive space for you to effectively and efficiently work towards your goals. To facilitate this process, I use comprehensive diagnostic assessments and collaborate with you to find new and better ways of coping. If I am doing my job, you will leave therapy with the ability to: Identify the unhelpful patterns in your life Deepen your self-understanding and strengths Create (and revise) specific and attainable goals Develop new ways of thinking/behaving that lead you to a more fulfilling life Track your progress and recognize future life challenges Basically, my job is to work myself out of a job! I draw from a variety of treatment modalities, including: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Compassion Focused Therapy Dialectical Behavior Therapy Interpersonal Therapy I am supportive therapist who listens well and consistently encourages people to address the issues that brought them to therapy. I meet you where you are in the process of change, and consequently, I tailor the therapy experience to meet your specific and unique needs.
My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for folks to explore their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, all of the above, or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about your identity without judgment or pressure. As a queer person who has sought out therapy myself, I know how challenging it can be to find an affirming therapist. Even if your identity isn’t central to your therapy goals, I will always aim to honor and validate every part of who you are in our work. My therapeutic style is collaborative and anti-oppressive. My approach is integrative, using tools from a variety of therapeutic modalities—relational, CBT, narrative, sex therapy—that are best suited to each unique client. In addition to specializing in identity, I support clients experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship issues. My aim is to co-create a space with you that facilitates growth, emotional awareness, and authentic self-expression. Please reach out if you have any questions about my work or about therapy more generally. I'm glad that you're seeking out the care you need right now, and I hope that we have the opportunity to connect more soon.

We know change is hard, and will walk with you every step of the way. We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Techniques (MBSR), Eclectic Therapy, and Compassion based treatment modalities to work through your life's circumstances.

It’s my privilege to listen to your story. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s rare to truly talk, share, and connect without distractions. You might be surprised by how much you can learn about yourself just by hearing your own words during therapy. My approach is all about meeting you where you are, with empathy and compassion. I believe in the power of a genuine, healing relationship that helps you grow and thrive. You are a dynamic, one-of-a-kind individual, and my role is to support you in living authentically as we explore your depth together. I will guide you in cultivating a true relationship with yourself through the art of self-reflection. This is your opportunity to be curious, open, and to let go of any limiting beliefs about who you think you are. If you can’t find the perfect solution to magically feel better, you might as well live with the nagging feeling of failure. Fail Better! You probably never considered that “failing better” could be a remedy—especially for how you're feeling right now. But now that I’ve got your attention, you're in the right place to reconnect with your true potential, which is capable of success beyond what you can imagine right now. Here’s the thing: it’s not failure that’s holding you back; it’s the belief that you need to be perfect or find the perfect solution. Your challenges do not define you. You are the author of your story and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds.
We have an incredible group of therapists who are encouraged to be unique and creative while offering customized care. I personally specialize in working with teens and adults struggling with a wide array of mental health related issues.
I am a mental health and addiction counselor who has experienced the impact of mental health issues on myself, my family, my friends, and my community. I understand the importance of a safe, nonjudgmental space for exploration, introspection, and healing. I enjoy using creative modalities in conjunction with traditional theoretical frameworks to allow clients to explore challenges and questions from multiple perspectives. I bring experience, compassion, and advocacy to mental health, addiction, and recovery. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults. I use a sense of curiosity and the gifts my spiritual and scholastic mentors have given me to help guide my clients on their journey of discovery. A current curiosity has led me to an increased understanding of the neuroscience behind addiction and how the mind interacts with our bodies and the world around us. I believe everyone has a chance at discovering themselves and finding a fulfilling path in life no matter what your background. If you want to discover your true self, build coping skills to help with sobriety, depression, or anxiety, or if you need help processing trauma, please reach out for a free initial consultation.

I provide a safe space in therapy for you to show up fully, just as you are. I support you in creating space to dismantle the various known and unknown obstacles blocking you from embodying your TRUE self. I believe you already have what it takes to heal and thrive, but you just need the right environment and community support to unravel and relearn. I have recently expanded to supporting adults who are seeking healing by means of EMDR & Internal Family Systems (IFS). Since 2012, I have primarily served children and their families in their homes and schools, assisting in child behavior, developmental disabilities, and early childhood trauma.

ENTHEO PSYCHOTHERAPY: Depth Psychotherapy for the Dedicated Souls Hello and xin chào! I am a relationally-oriented Jungian depth psychotherapist with degrees from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I enjoy working with creatives, students of psychotherapy, and those dedicated to a life oriented toward meaningfulness. I have postgraduate training from the California Institute of Integral Studies in psychedelic therapies and research and provide integration counseling of altered states of experiences (visions, but also nightly dreams). I believe we are wounded in relationships, and it is through relationships that we also heal. I often place focus on what goes on between you and I as a reflection of what goes on for you in relationships outside of our therapeutic one. I provide telehealth sessions curated toward your specific needs. My approach is dual-prong--coping skills and processing skills.
