"Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?"

Poet Mary Oliver

 

Want a jump start on change? Join the Life Reimagined Weekend Challenge. Starts OCT 24th, $27. CLICK HERE to join.
Feeling stuck in your life? Perhaps depressed or anxious? Unhappy with your relationships?
Are you longing for more joy and meaning in your life- but just can't seem to make it happen?

You may be wondering what you are doing wrong that you feel this way. Chances are, nothing- other than being a human being. Life is often difficult and the human brain wasn't really designed for the complex, fast-paced society we have today. Luckily there are powerful, research based skills that you can learn that will help you live a more meaningful, wonderful life... even when your own mind and emotions sometimes seem to turn against you. 

Are You ready to start learning the skills that will transform your life? It's FREE, just click below to get started! (If you'd rather learn more about me and my approach first, keep reading.)

 

Let's get started

This free video will teach you a new perspective that will help you transform your life...

Sign up* here to access a FREE video introducing you to the ACT Matrix- my favorite tool for starting the journey towards a Better Life.  This is where I usually start when meeting with new clients- and now you can get a sneak peak into the process!

*you will also be signed up for occasional emails from me, but can easily unsubscribe at any time. 

Hi! I'm Kathie

(aka Dr. Kathleen Morris)

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, and Life Coach, in New York State. All my sessions are currently done via telehealth.

I encourage my clients to aim for more than simple "symptom reduction" - encouraging them to develop the clarity of vision and the skills that will enable them to live vitally and fully their "one wild and precious life". 

Learn more about me
Hi, I am so glad you are considering working with me! Assuming that we can work out the practical details of scheduling, payment, etc., I would love to meet with you and see how I can best be of service. Individual telehealth sessions are typically 55 minutes and cost $190 for the first session, and $170 for sessions after that. I am also a participating provider for several insurance companies (see the FAQ section for details). If you would like to know more about me and my work, please check the "about Dr. Morris" and "FAQ" pages. You might also want to sign up to watch the ACT Matrix video (above). 
 
My schedule fluctuates a lot, so how soon I can fit you in for an appointment will depend some on how flexible your own schedule is.  In general, I see clients Tuesday through Friday using Microsoft Teams, a HIPAA approved, online meeting platform. Most of my appointments are between 9:30-4:30; I have very limited evening appointments. All of my appointments start on the half-hour (e.g., 9:30, 10:30, etc.). If those hours work for you, the next step would be to give me an idea of what day/time combinations might work best for you.
 
I also need to know if you will be using health insurance, and if so, which plan.  It's important to make sure that I am a participating provider with your insurance company, or that you are OK with making cash payments if I am not. 
 
If you'd like to pursue this further, just let me know. Naturally if you have other questions beforehand, don't hesitate to ask. You can either e-mail me at [email protected], or call/text me at (518) 669-3639.
Considering therapy, but wondering what kind, and with whom? It is not always easy to answer these important questions, but maybe my $27 Life Reimagined weekend challenge will help. Register soon though, the doors close October 23rd, and the Challenge begins the 24th.
 
If you want to be happier, less stressed, to feel better about yourself and your life, but are stuck in self-defeating patterns that keep undermining your progress and your self-confidence, then the Challenge is a great way to start changing that. It also will help you clarify what you want and need, and what steps to take next.
 
The Challenge is an educational and experiential program, a possible first step towards healing and growth, but not clinical treatment.
 
The video lessons and live Q&As are guided by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — a research-based behavioral approach designed to help people build psychological flexibility. The greater your psychological flexibility, the better you can handle difficult thoughts and feelings, and the more effectively you can move toward what truly matters in life.
 
With structure & support, you will be learning and practicing the skills that build psychological flexibility- the same skills I work on with clients in individual therapy. You will quickly see if these skills are helpful for you, and whether this approach is a good fit for you personally, helping you decide what to do next.
