Professional where it counts. personal where it matters.
Morgan Oakes, Ma, LMHC
I’m Morgan. I’m licensed to provide therapy in Washington, Maryland, Iowa, and Delaware. I specialize in helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, phobias, grief, autism, and other mental health issues that don’t let up.
My approach is collaborative, direct, and engaged. I don’t sit back and nod while you do all the heavy lifting. Therapy with me is active—we’ll talk about what’s really going on, get curious, push past the surface, and work together to find movement.
I’ve worked with people across a wide spectrum of experiences—from those who’ve never tried therapy before, to those who’ve been burned by it. I use evidence-based methods like CBT, trauma-informed care, TF-CBT, ERP, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing—but always flex them around you. Because no two people work through pain the same way.
Outside the therapy room, I’m someone who values creativity, authenticity, and cutting through the noise. Gut Check is built on the idea that healing gets real when we stop pretending.
