Ana C. Morris helps children, teens, and adults across Washington feel understood, build coping skills, and move forward with confidence. As a Counselor Associate with LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy tailored to each stage of life, supporting clients through emotional challenges while fostering creativity, self-expression, and resilience in a warm, inclusive environment. Ana specializes in anxiety, ADHD, and depression, and also supports concerns such as trauma, grief, school avoidance, gender identity exploration, and life transitions. She integrates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness, while incorporating art therapy techniques to help clients access emotions that may be difficult to express through words alone. Her approach is especially supportive for neurodivergent individuals and those who benefit from hands-on, creative healing methods. She has experience working with Autism Spectrum Disorders, developmental disabilities, and LGBTQ+ clients, and offers additional areas of support beyond these specialties. Ana is particularly passionate about using creative expression and art therapy as a pathway for healing. She believes that artistic processes can help clients safely explore identity, process complex emotions, and build confidence in their unique voice. By blending clinical expertise with imaginative techniques, she creates a therapeutic space where clients can engage in meaningful self-discovery, strengthen emotional regulation, and reconnect with a sense of possibility. Her clinical training in art therapy, combined with her experience in community-based settings, informs a culturally responsive and affirming approach. Ana is committed to meeting each client where they are, honoring their lived experiences, and supporting sustainable growth through compassionate, individualized care. Outside of her work, Ana enjoys creating art across different mediums, especially felting and ceramics, which she finds both grounding and meditative. She is also an enthusiastic fan of popular culture and enjoys analyzing cartoons for their storytelling and emotional depth. These personal interests enhance her creativity and connection in the therapy space.
