Therapist in Lansing, MI Morgan Dunn, Therapist

I chose the path of becoming a therapist because I strongly believe that everyone deserves to have a space where they feel truly heard, understood, and supported. Delving deeper into the realm of sex therapy, I hold the conviction that our sexuality lies at the very core of our identity, and it is essential for each individual to feel empowered and confident in this aspect of themselves. The journey of therapy is a challenging and deeply personal one for each person, which is why my primary focus as a clinician is to approach each client with empathy, understanding, and unwavering honesty. Recognizing that every individual possesses unique personal strengths that shape their narrative, I adopt a holistic, strength-based, and person-centered approach to foster a collaborative relationship with my clients. Witnessing clients navigate their personal paths and work towards their goals at their own pace brings me immense joy.

While I find fulfillment in working with individuals from all walks of life, my passion particularly lies in aiding couples and individuals grappling with issues surrounding intimacy, desire, arousal, orgasm, sexual pain, affair recovery, and post-partum sexual changes. I also extend a warm welcome to clients who have experienced sexual trauma or are navigating concerns related to sexual orientation and gender identity. Equipped with substantial training in sex therapy, including a certificate of completion from the University of Michigan in Sex Therapy and Sexual Education, I have also honed my skills through additional training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). I find value in integrating mindfulness and breathing techniques into sessions as needed to enhance the therapeutic process.

Beyond the therapy office, I cherish spending quality time with my family, husband, and daughters. Traveling, attending sports events and concerts, exploring diverse culinary experiences during our adventures, immersing myself in nature, and savoring a good cup of coffee are among the activities I find solace in. I completed my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology and Master's of Social Work with certification in clinical practice with families at Michigan State University.
