Dr. Arnold Morgan

Personal: I have been married for over thirty years. My wife and I have been blessed with two healthy, wonderful children. While my education and my personal therapy have been invaluable, I have learned the most about life and myself from the challenges and pitfalls of these family relationships. (This is often what brings people to the therapy office) The third aspect of my life that has informed my professional work is nature. I have been an organic gardener for over 20 years. I enjoy landscaping and building fishponds. Nature is a wonderful anchor, teacher, and healer. I often find myself referencing my experiences with nature as I listen to people’s stories.
I have enormous gratitude for the richness of my life and appreciation for the times of struggle that have honed my vision. Finally, I feel truly honored to be able to share in peoples’ journeys and to assist in their personal growth and development.
