Morgan Messer, MS, LMFT

(she, her, hers)

Individual and Relational Therapist

My Approach:

I am a queer, biracial (Latina + white), Millennial woman and I am not your stereotypical therapist. I love working with all of the messiness of life and the people that don’t fit into nice, neat checkboxes on a standardized form. Whether your version of mess pertains to relationships and non-monogamy, gender and sexuality, and/or race and culture… I want to meet you in those middle identities and help you sort through all the bullshit that life throws at you. I do serious work without taking myself too seriously. Working with me means working with a direct, funny, and human therapist who will hold you through your hurts and call you on your shit.

My clinical approach varies somewhat from person to person, but generally speaking I have a systemic lens to my work; all that really means is that I make sure we incorporate the big picture of your life when trying to understand problems, relationships, and experiences. I also tend to work from a narrative therapy approach, meaning I view our lives like stories that we are constantly writing and rewriting. I pride myself, however, in getting creative with those foundations and working collaboratively with my clients to build the therapeutic approach that works best for them.

Experience & Education

I received my BS in Family Social Science from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, followed by my MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Wisconsin Stout. As part of my graduate education, I also completed a graduate certificate in Sex Therapy. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Minnesota (LMFT #4197).
