Destiny Morris
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
I am an Associate Marriage and Family therapist in Westlake Village, Ventura, and Santa Barbara, California. I am first responder counselor certified, as well as EMDR certified. I have worked in a in-patient psychiatric hospital with active duty veterans and first responders, as well as with recovering addicts in a non-profit, couples, spouses of first responders, teens, and individuals who are working through trauma, anxiety, depression, and loss. I am a first responder partner to a wildland fire fighter and have navigated the ins and outs of what it means to support as well as understand them. I am passionate about spreading awareness of mental health as a method of preventative care as well as supporting families of first responders.
