Psychotherapy, EMDR & Autism Evaluations in the Stamford-Westport Area

Welcome

Life can be difficult, and we are often reluctant to share the burden of anxiety, depression, stress, or uncertainty with others.

Career challenges, family relationships, health concerns, parenting, caring for aging parents, major life transitions, and uncertainty about the future can all take a toll. Over time, these challenges may leave you feeling overwhelmed or as though you have lost control of parts of your life.

If you are reading this, you may already have taken an important first step: deciding that you would like something to change.

I provide a supportive, confidential environment where we can work together to better understand what you are experiencing and identify ways to help you move forward.

Meet Dr. Kerri S. Morris

I am a licensed psychologist and psychotherapist with advanced training in Relational Psychotherapy and Behavior Analysis.

In my work, I draw on these areas as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, trauma-informed approaches, and an understanding of neurobiology. My
approach is individualized because no two people experience life’s challenges in exactly the same way.

I work with people facing a wide range of circumstances, including anxiety and depression, difficult family relationships, divorce or estrangement, serious health issues, parenting challenges, caring for elderly or ill parents, involuntary childlessness, career difficulties or loss of employment, loneliness, and the challenges young adults may encounter as they navigate independence and relationships.

My goal is to understand you as an individual, not simply the problem that brought you to therapy.

My Practice

I offer both in-person and online sessions. My in-person sessions are held at my Westport office, and I work with patients from throughout Fairfield County.

I provide psychotherapy and EMDR for people experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, panic attacks, trauma, and other challenges.

I also work with individuals who may not be experiencing a significant mental health condition but are looking for help navigating a life transition, managing current stressors, or improving important relationships.

In these shorter-term consultation sessions, we can identify your goals, explore what may be standing in your way, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. Depending on your needs, this could include improving communication, managing negative automatic thoughts, improving time management, and reducing stress.

Autism Diagnostic Evaluations

I also specialize in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and conduct autism diagnostic evaluations for individuals of different ages.

Obtaining an evaluation can be particularly challenging for preschool-aged children and adults. I work with families and individuals seeking an evaluation for reasons that may include accessing services, seeking educational accommodations or modifications, or simply gaining a better understanding of themselves or their child.

For some adults, an evaluation can also help provide context for experiences they have had throughout their lives and help them better understand the way they experience and interact with the world.
