Cynthia Morris, LCSW — Therapist in North Dakota

Hi there, I'm Cynthia!

I work with individuals ages 5-65 navigating stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness with a person-centered approach to help you progress toward your goals. I'm also trained in EMDR and Play Therapy.

My focus

I work with clients experiencing anxiety and stress related to life changes, as well as mood concerns and trauma. Sometimes these concerns stem from your background and continue to impact you, so I help you address those as well.

My approach

I tailor my style to fit your needs. Using CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and EMDR, I help you gain a better understanding of your reality and work together to chart a path forward toward your identified goals.

My communication style

I take a calm, accommodating, and personable approach. I want you to feel comfortable talking to me about anything without fear of judgment. I listen with empathy and create a space where you can be yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been drawn to helping others address their needs and concerns. My professional experiences have confirmed that I'm in the field I love and thrive in.

My goals for you

I work to first build rapport so you have a strong, trusting foundation. I help you identify and understand that goals can be both short-term and long-term and can be modified as we live our lives. As we continue working together, you'll feel more comfortable identifying deeper goals.

Our first session

We'll spend time talking about you and why you sought therapy. I'll ask questions to better understand you and complete necessary assessments. While asking questions, I'll also work to build an initial connection and understand your initial goals.
