Katie Morrison

Therapist Katie Morrison works with adult individuals and couples at Lifeologie Counseling Rockwall. She specializes in anxiety, people-pleasing, over-workers, over-thinkers and struggling parents. She practices trauma-informed care and has experience working with clients who have experienced religious trauma, high-control religions, high-control parenting, and abuse.

Katie is endlessly inspired by an approach called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) in which she has completed her Level 1 training and continues to study and sharpen her skills. AEDP is an experiential, here-and-now approach that focuses on emotions, an honest, connected therapeutic relationship, and an individualized approach for each specific client. This approach is incredibly intricate, well-supported by neuroscience, and based on decades of attachment research. She pairs this with mindfulness, meditations, and other experiential techniques.

She views the therapeutic relationship as side-by-side and not top-down, meaning that she fully acknowledges your innate tendency toward healing, growth, and self-actualization. This means that therapy feels less like problems met with advice and more like experiences met with understanding and non-judgment. While she recognizes that to some people, this may feel counter-intuitive at first, as if they are not “doing anything,” her clients come to understand the depth and importance of the work through the felt experience of it, and the resulting changes in their lives.

Her deepest desire is to gently guide you toward a fuller and deeper understanding of yourself, the way your emotions work, and a feeling of self-reliance that enhances your life far into the future. (Sort of the “teach a man to fish” approach to your own internal awareness.)

Katie completed her Bachelor's in Psychology and earned her Master of Arts in Family Psychology. She has worked in victim advocacy, taught English abroad, and is currently raising 3 perfectly imperfect children with her sexy Jewish husband. When she’s not doing therapy, she’s playing with her kids, planning points and miles trips with her man, and probably ignoring a few loads of laundry. She loves creating, gardening, travel and indie films.
