My name is Samantha Morawa, (but I go by Sam or Sammy). I'm a therapist of 8 years, trauma-trained (TFCBT), and appreciate being able to take a CBT approach with consumers. I welcome people of all ages, but a lot of my experience is with teenagers, families/parents, and young adults. Reaching out for therapy is a sign of strength that you have the ability to see that there is a need and you want to 'make a change' in a big way. Seeking therapy is so brave! I look forward to helping you identify your goals, and helping you implement them in a way that works for you.

Aside from being a therapist, I'm also a mom of 2 boys (5 and 3 years old), and they are my whole world. I also enjoy golfing and traveling with my husband, and spending time with my parents + siblings for dinner and visiting.

I can't wait to meet you!

Hi, I'm Morgan. I completed both my bachelor's and master's degrees at Wayne State University. With over six years of dedicated service in community mental health, I've provided crisis intervention and counseling to children and families.

My expertise lies in working with children aged 0 to 4 and their caregivers, focusing on attachment, trauma resolution, and emotional regulation. Additionally, I specialize in trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for older children and adults.

Beyond my professional role, I cherish my roles as a mother, daughter, sister, and friend. I find fulfillment in travel and adventure, enriching my personal experiences and perspectives.
