Ashley Morgan,
MA, LMFT

I’m dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate the challenges that life throws their way. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or strained relationships, my passion lies in reducing distress and fostering resilience. I believe in meeting you at your unique starting point, offering a safe and empathetic space where you can explore your feelings and work towards your personal goals.
For couples, my focus is on enhancing communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering deeper connections. I understand that every relationship has its own dynamics and challenges, and I’m here to help you navigate those complexities like infidelity and harmful communication patterns with care and compassion. Together, we can explore the potential your relationship holds, creating a stronger, more fulfilling bond.
For individuals, particularly those dealing with relational trauma, my goal is to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can heal and grow. I am trained in Brainspotting, a leading trauma recovery model, and provide a safe and empathetic space, allowing you to process your experiences and find peace and relief from trauma stressors and triggers.

Education

I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University Sacramento. Early on in my education I was certain that I wanted to gain a better understanding of the factors that drive human behaviors and shape their identities. I found that one of these key factors includes our close relationships, whether they be with family, friends or are more romantic, and how they play a major role in shaping each and every unique individual. This vital impact that our relationships have on our day-to-day wellness is what drove me towards wanting to study and practice marriage and family therapy. I then attended and received my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University Sacramento. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #138992.

Professional

My background includes work at a community agency with a diverse range of clients, including victims of crime and families. This experience has deepened my passion for helping those who have endured trauma and need support in their healing journey. I am trained in Brainspotting, a powerful approach to trauma therapy, which allows me to provide targeted and effective treatment for trauma survivors.

Since moving into private practice, I’ve expanded my work with couples and completed an externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a highly effective method for repairing and strengthening relationships. These specialized trainings have deepened and enhanced my approach to supporting clients in achieving their personal and relational goals.

Personal

I primarily grew up on the central coast of California where I would often enjoy watching sunsets and having bonfires on the beach. I moved to Sacramento to begin college in 2013 and have since grown to appreciate what California’s capitol has to offer. I feel my best when spending time outdoors while hiking, having BBQ’s with friends and family and spending days lounging at home with my husband, dog and two cats.
