Morgan Karcher, LPC, ATR-BC

Founder & Clinical Director

Pronouns: She/Her

Hi, I'm Morgan!

I’m a trauma specialist and licensed professional counselor serving clients across Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia. I guide individuals, couples, & families through healing from anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, ADHD, BPD, codependency, attachment wounds, & body image challenges. Using a trauma-focused, psychodynamic, and relational approach combined with DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Internal Family Systems, and Feminist Theory, I create a safe, affirming space especially for LGBTQIA+ folx navigating identity, gender dysphoria, discrimination, and complex relationships. You don’t need to figure everything out alone. 

At Morgan Karcher Counseling, I believe that small changes can be radical acts of resistance. Whether it’s shifting an old belief or challenging patterns that no longer serve you, these incremental steps can create deep transformation. 

In addition to individual therapy, I also specialize in couples therapy, helping partners deepen their connection, heal from relational wounds, and build healthier communication patterns. I work with clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, BPD, codependency, attachment issues, body image concerns, and so much more.

As a queer therapist, my passion lies in supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals as they navigate their identities, deal with discrimination, gender dysphoria, and interpersonal challenges. My practice is centered on a trauma-informed approach that recognizes the importance of healing, growth, and the power of celebration. Queer and trans joy are not only necessary—they are forms of resistance in a world that often seeks to suppress them. Celebrating this joy is essential, and it is something I actively support in my work. As a kink-affirming, anti-racist, and anti-oppression-centered therapist, I strive to create a space where all aspects of your identity are welcomed and celebrated.

Together, we’ll work to unlock your potential for healing, growth, and transformation, while empowering you to live your most authentic life, free from shame and fear. Life is full of challenges, but with the right support, it’s also filled with opportunities to build resilience and joy.

Hi! I’m Claudia,

I'm a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Philadelphia. Understanding that our environments—culture, society, community, and relationships—profoundly influence our well-being, I adopt an integrative, personalized approach to therapy. My practice is rooted in cultural humility and committed to anti-oppressive, trauma-informed care. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most profound healing tool we have and work from a relational framework.

In our collaborative sessions, we’ll focus on building a therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and trust. This connection serves as a foundation for you to express emotions, identify needs, set boundaries, and advocate for yourself. Together, we’ll explore and understand defense mechanisms developed in response to past experiences, fostering curiosity and self-compassion as you move toward your authentic self.

I believe that through our relationships, we learn to express our emotions and needs, set boundaries, and advocate for ourselves; therapy is no different.

I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing into my practice. I view mental health conditions as adaptive responses shaped by individual, relational, and societal contexts. Our work will involve understanding these coping mechanisms, fostering self-compassion, and developing new ways of engaging with the world. While diagnoses can aid in accessing treatment and accommodations, my focus remains on understanding your unique experiences. I focus less on labeling signs and symptoms as “what is wrong with you” and instead emphasize how these responses helped you survive difficult circumstances.

I view therapy as a space to explore and understand your emotions, enhancing our ability to meet your needs and communicate them effectively. Valuing autonomy, I encourage you to guide our sessions by identifying weekly focuses, fostering curiosity and compassion. Together, we’ll tap into your inherent capacity for healing and growth, moving toward your authentic self.

I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community and young adults, providing an affirming space for all sexual and gender identities and expressions. I work well with folx struggling with people-pleasing tendencies, perfectionism, mood disorders, anxiety/OCD, chronic illness, caregiving roles, relationship difficulties, and family-of-origin concerns.

Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy cooking, baking, puzzling, crafting, spending time outdoors, and running. I’m happiest on a walking trail with my wife, coffee in hand!

Hi! I’m Dana,

I’m a counselor and art therapist in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a therapist, I offer a compassionate, collaborative, and affirming space grounded in a person-centered approach, where you are seen, heard, and valued as the expert of your own life. I believe that healing and growth occur when we are met with genuine authenticity, empathy, and unconditional positive regard for the whole person.

My approach is deeply influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps individuals develop psychological flexibility—the ability to stay present, open, and engaged with what truly matters, even in the face of pain or uncertainty. Together, we will explore how to build a life aligned with your values, while developing practical tools to navigate difficult thoughts, complex emotions, and patterns.

I specialize in supporting clients through life transitions, identity shifts, gender identity exploration, aging, relationship changes, and career transitions. I recognize that change can bring both loss and opportunity, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you move through uncertainty, grief, or transformation.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I honor the impact of past experiences on current well-being. I aim to create a safe, stable environment where you can process trauma at your own pace and reclaim your sense of agency, self-worth, and connection.

Whether you're navigating a major life shift, healing from trauma, or seeking greater alignment, emotional balance, or mental health support, I’m here to guide your journey. I offer therapy as a trauma-informed counselor serving clients across Pennsylvania, and I invite you to contact me today to learn how therapy can help you move forward at a pace that feels right for you.

In my personal life, I enjoy reading, spending time in nature, rewatching my favorite movies, and connecting with both people and animals. Let’s connect!

Hi, I’m Faith!

Understanding that our experiences are shaped by the environments we live in -our communities, culture, and relationships- I take a trauma-informed and relational approach to therapy. My work is grounded in the belief that healing begins when we feel seen, safe, and connected. I aim to create a space where you can explore your emotions, express yourself freely, and begin to reconnect with your body and sense of self.

As a Philadelphia-based art therapist serving clients across Pennsylvania, I believe creativity can be a powerful pathway to understanding and transformation. In our sessions, we might use:

• Artmaking

• Mindfulness practices

• Gentle somatic exercises

These creative tools help you express what words can’t always capture, support emotional regulation, insight, and a deeper connection to your inner world.

Specialties & Focus Areas:

• Anxiety and stress management

• Life transitions

• Women’s concerns

• LGBTQ+ affirming therapy
  
  

I integrate mindfulness, person-centered, and feminist frameworks, working collaboratively with each client to find what feels most supportive. My goal is to help clients cultivate a sense of internal safety, confidence, and resilience as they move toward a more grounded, authentic version of themselves.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I find joy in thrifting and antiquing or getting lost in a good fantasy novel alongside my two cats, Cricket and Jerry.

If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. I’d be honored to connect and support you on your healing journey.
