Morgun Custer, Ph.D.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task – when you are suffering, it can be especially difficult to make this decision. To find relief, you need to be able to connect with your provider, build trust, and explore who you are and your issues in a safe and understanding space. I believe in being totally transparent about my therapeutic approach so you can make an informed choice that will support you in recovery and healing. We would probably be a good fit if you are curious about yourself and want to learn more about how your mind and emotions work, particularly if your thoughts and feelings are interfering with your quality of life, or you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues or have a history of trauma.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate, honest, and direct. I provide the feedback you need to hear to make progress in different problem areas of your life. When we meet, I listen very carefully, provide you with my undivided attention, ask thought-provoking questions, and help you build insight into why you are struggling and how to start feeling better. I practice a blend of psychodynamic and cognitive/behavioral psychotherapy, which emphasizes building insight and learning coping skills. We will work to understand how underlying emotions impact your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. I also use our therapeutic relationship as a way to better understand you and your issues. If you are wondering whether my approach is right for you, let’s chat. I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can get to know each other a bit and discuss how therapy might help.
