Our Team
Morley Perthou
I believe that for therapy to be effective, a space must be created in which the client feels safe to become their full authentic self. When the individual is seen and heard without judgement, acceptance and growth can begin to unfold.
My primary trainings are in dialectical behavior therapy, the hakomi method and existential psychotherapy. I practice a holistic approach that incorporates the physical, mental and spiritual facets of our being. As these aspects of self are intertwined, finding healing in one aspect can bring about positive change to the whole system.
I incorporate mindfulness into much of my work and have noticed the profound impact that breathwork and returning to the present moment can have. We will work together to find the roots of empowerment and reconnect with your intrinsic ability to become your own greatest healer.

Former Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, once wrote, “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” As a mental health therapist associate from South Texas, I realize that therapy goes beyond the diagnosis realm and into a wider space of understanding, attunement, and healing. Renowned physician, Gabor Mate asserted that healing does not rely on getting rid of the pain but in increasing one’s capacity to be resilient to it. I honor you as a human, with many parts and crevices that showcase your authentic self. My approach is geared toward helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered; Be Here Now.
I am Trauma-Trained and use holistic, creative, and evidence-based modalities with both individual and cultural identities in mind. I specialize in DBT/CBT (Mindfulness/Emotional Processing/Behavioral Adaptations), Logotherapy/ Existential Therapy, SFT (Solution/Strengths focused therapy), Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma/ Social Justice Informed Therapy, Somatic Therapy (Movement, Yoga, Breathwork), Expressive Arts/ Music and Holistic Wellness. C-/PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and Personality Disorders were areas of study and research in my graduate years and clinical practicum. I support and respect LGBTQIA+ communities, people, and spaces, while accepting and attuning with all frequencies, stages and pathways of life. Understanding the Self is no easy venture, but together we explore and plant seeds of realism, acceptance, and transformation in our gardens. One step at a time. One wave of consciousness at a time, while integrating parts of the unconscious.
I offer Telehealth (online) services, refer to you as my client not my patient, see you as an expert in your lived experiences and view us as a team. I strive to destigmatize and decolonize therapy, share a cozy space to help you feel safe and welcomed, allow my personality to shine through, and invite you to show up as your authentic self as well.
