Hello and welcome.
Morgan Shingle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Supervisor (LCSW-S), Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP), and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) in Austin, Texas. She has been practicing since 2018.
Morgan works with adults and couples navigating anxiety, OCD, complex trauma, family-of-origin wounds, attachment and relationship patterns, substance use, and life transitions. She has a particular interest in working with adult children of addiction and people who grew up in families where they learned to become responsible, self-sufficient, highly attuned, or small.
Her clinical experience includes working as a Primary Therapist for young adult men recovering from substance use disorders in a PHP/IOP setting, a Senior Staff Counselor at Therapy Austin, and an Emergency Room Social Worker at Dell Seton. Before becoming a therapist, Morgan worked as a yoga teacher and later as Chief Product Officer of a yoga company. These experiences continue to shape her holistic approach, including her attention to mindfulness, self-compassion, nervous system awareness, and the mind-body connection.
Morgan’s therapeutic style is relational and psychoanalytic. Her work is informed by interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, feminist psychology, and depth psychology. She is interested not only in symptom relief, but in understanding the deeper patterns, protections, and relationships that shape a person’s inner life.
For couples, Morgan draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, and has completed Level 1 and Level 2 Gottman training. Across her work, she is guided by the belief that healing happens in relationship — not just through insight, but through being known, challenged, and met with care over time.
Inspired by Pema Chödrön’s invitation to “start where we are,” Morgan emphasizes the present moment and the therapeutic relationship itself as a place where transformation can occur. Her style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and deeply engaged.
Morgan is committed to social justice, inclusivity, and LGBTQIA+-affirming care. She attends to the psychological impact of systemic oppression and helps clients understand their individual experiences within a broader relational, cultural, and societal context.
Outside of work, Morgan enjoys watercolor painting, reading, hiking, and pretending that her cat loves her as much as she loves her cat.
