HELPING NAVIGATE THE CHALLENGES OF CHANGE.
Dr. Morris specializes in
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
This type of therapy focuses on the complex interaction between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, helping you make changes to improve how you see yourself and the world around you. Cognitive behavioral therapy is empirically supported and skills based. It teaches you how to manage stress, anxiety, mood and a variety of other difficulties using proven strategies and tools, focusing on current challenges while tackling underlying issues to relieve symptoms.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Anne Morris works with individuals who are experiencing inflection points in their lives — relationship challenges, a career change, inability to find work-life balance, a new baby, or other personal and professional struggles.
As a wife, mother, and professional, Dr. Morris is familiar with the many stressors facing individuals. She focuses on the complex interaction between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to make changes to improve how you see yourself and the world around you. Every session is tailored to each client to improve quality and enjoyment of life, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Therapy for Professionals + Executives
Navigating the challenges of work and life. Comprehensive therapy designed for working professionals. Helping you find balance, focus and purpose.
Each executive therapy session is tailored to the client and includes customized strategies to improve emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
A therapeutic framework for executives that integrates workplace performance, personal relationships, and individual struggles. Working in private, one-on-one sessions, Dr. Morris can help you:

The Whole Self for Leaders
Most services treat executive issues (leadership, performance, productivity) separately from personal struggles (relationships, grief, parenting, identity). Professionals and executives often feel they can’t bring their “whole self” to either space. Dr. Morris bridges personal and professional inflection points — not “just coaching,” not “just therapy,” but a hybrid space where leaders can tackle anxiety, relationship strain, burnout, succession fears, parenting stress, AND executive decision-making under one umbrella.
For example:
- Loneliness at the top (isolation, impostor syndrome even in high achievers)
- Grief/loss around aging parents, divorces, or children leaving home — while leading teams
- Post-exit identity crisis (what happens after selling a company or stepping down?)
