About
As a man of color who has walked through trauma and grief, I offer you a grounded, steady presence where you feel safe, understood, and supported to clear emotional and psychological blocks, release limiting patterns, strengthen resilience, and move with confidence toward your fullest potential.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience providing evidence-based psychotherapy. I work with adults and couples navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, infidelity recovery, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients feel stuck in painful patterns, overwhelmed by past experiences, or disconnected from their confidence and direction. I focus on helping clients build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and create healthier patterns in their lives and relationships. My approach is active, structured, and relational.
I earned my master's degree in professional counseling from Grand Canyon University. I use EMDR and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients process experiences, regulate emotions, and move toward change. For couples, I utilize Gottman Method techniques to strengthen communication and rebuild trust.
My goal is to provide a calm, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. Together, we will identify emotional roadblocks, develop practical tools, and build skills that support lasting progress. If you are ready to move beyond surviving and begin creating the life and relationships you want, I look forward to working with you.

As one who has undergone trauma, loss and life changes. I understand how these circumstances impact life and how important it is to understand, grow, and learn new skills to build a new life in which we can thrive.
I am a licensed associate counselor (LAC) dedicated to providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds, supporting them through a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, trauma, stress, life transitions, and women's issues. I also have a strong passion for working with neurodiverse individuals. I help individuals understand their emotions, build confidence and skills to navigate the world around them better.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to help clients understand the root of their challenges, develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful goals for change.
I strive to create a space where clients feel safe to explore. Many come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we work on building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem, and fostering resilience—finding their voice, setting healthy boundaries, and moving toward a balanced and fulfilling life. I'd love to work with you!

As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I believe that those experiences don't define us. I believe that healing from those experiences is possible.
Hi, I'm Morgan Jackson, a licensed professional counselor who believes therapy should feel like a collaborative, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I earned my master's degree in professional counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2020, and since then I've had the privilege of helping individuals navigate life's challenges, transitions, and personal growth. My approach is flexible and client-centered because there's no one-size-fits-all path to healing. Together, we'll find what works best for you, your goals, and your unique circumstances. Outside the therapy office, I'm a mom to two teenage sons and four very spoiled French Bulldogs who keep life interesting. I'm also a fan of all things pink and glitter.
One of the beliefs that guides both my personal life and professional work is that "everything is figureoutable." That doesn't mean life is easy or that challenges disappear overnight. It means that even when things feel overwhelming, confusing, or stuck, there is always a path forward. Sometimes we just need support, perspective, and the right tools to help us find it.
Whether you're working through anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, or simply trying to better understand yourself, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I’m a counselor who believes healing begins when we feel safe enough to show up as our true selves — something I learned both personally and professionally while navigating my path toward authenticity in spaces that didn’t always make it easy to be fully seen.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, and couples seeking emotional healing, personal growth, and stronger connections in their lives. My approach focuses on helping clients develop self-awareness, emotional balance, and the tools needed to live in alignment with their authentic selves.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from the University of Tennessee. My integrative style combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to support insight, healing, and self-compassion. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals for growth.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you are fully seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive. My goal is to create a safe and empowering space where you can explore your story, uncover strengths, and move forward with confidence. You don’t have to do it alone—I’m here to walk with you toward lasting change.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Anxiety & depression counseling from our therapists at Thriveworks in Tempe, AZ can help people better understand and manage their symptoms. If you are struggling with regular anxious and/or depressive thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety or depressive disorder, you should seek professional help. The therapists at Thriveworks can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your anxiety and/or depression.
Anxiety & depression counseling from our therapists in Tempe involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Your therapist will then work with you to determine where your anxiety and/or depression might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
Anxiety & depression counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Anxiety & depression counseling from Thriveworks Tempe therapists can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s anxiety or depression as well as their needs and preferences.
The team at Thriveworks Counseling in Tempe, AZ is trained to treat depressive disorders with the thoughtfulness they require. If you are feeling depressed, please contact us today at (623) 323-8962.
The precise symptoms of depression can vary based on the type of depression. Nevertheless, there are common depression symptoms to be aware of, including:
You may be experiencing some form of depression if you have had 2-3 of these experiences frequently or daily for two or more weeks. In the case of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), you may experience these or other symptoms solely during the cold winter or autumn months.
Depression and mood disorders can impact individuals differently. Your depression could be caused by your environment, biology, or childhood. It could be caused by a combination of the three — or by other factors, such as substance abuse or major life events.
To help determine the causes of your depression and to work on ways to treat it, consider contacting one of the licensed professionals at Thriveworks Counseling in Tempe, AZ. With their help, you can create a treatment plan that helps you in your journey toward mental well-being.
Your counselor or therapist may recommend treatments such as psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or other kinds of talk sessions to help manage your depression. Because depression can be an environmental or biological disorder, your treatment may require a multi-faceted approach. For example, treatment may consist of counseling for past traumas or substance abuse, medication for genetic or hormonal imbalances, or a combination of counseling and medication to treat multiple challenges.
Coping with depression is possible. With the help of your therapist or counselor, you’ll work toward improving your quality of life through techniques, which may include coping mechanisms, distress tolerance skills, and journaling your thoughts.
No matter the treatment plan, you can expect individualized, long-term care that focuses on your symptoms and needs. If you feel you could benefit from such a plan, please do not hesitate to call us here at Thriveworks in Tempe, AZ.
A professional therapist can offer you coping strategies that combat your depressive disorder. Together, you can create an action plan to put you back on the path of a more fulfilled, happier life.
