Shawna Morris

Hello & welcome to my page. My name is Shawna Morris, I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oklahoma since 2016. I hold a Master of Science Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling, and I have 24 years of work related experience in behavioral health and substance abuse services, with a profound commitment to mental health and well-being. I bring compassion and empathy to every counseling session, and I treat this work as a sacred privilege. As a licensed professional, I adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring confidentiality and respect for every individual as they embark on a path to healing and self-discovery, where compassionate guidance meets professional expertise. I believe in creating a safe space for individuals. One that is nonjudgemental and objective, where they can explore their own unique challenges by engaging in evidence-based practices with tailored counseling approaches to meet their specific needs. This aids in fostering a collaborative and empowering therapeutic journey. My therapeutic approach consists of different modalities and techniques with an emphasis on integrating the mind, body and soul, utilizing techniques from transpersonal psychotherapy. I also believe creativity to be a powerful component in the therapeutic healing process, and I like to combine art therapy with other reliable and evidence-based methods, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, family systems therapy, emotion focused therapy, and utilizing the techniques from the dialectical behavioral therapy model, such as mindfulness and emotion regulation. I have listed below the main problematic issues I have specialized in, whereby having the most experience in these specific areas as I have worked with clients. • Self-esteem issues related to low self-confidence and lack of self-awareness • Codependency • Stress & anxiety related issues • Depression • Adult issues related to childhood trauma • Family conflict, issues related to interpersonal relationships • Divorce/separation • Grief, loss, and issues related to secondary losses and how to cope with life changes
