HOME > Therapist Search > Amber Morrighan, MA, LMFT

Amber Morrighan, MA, LMFT has been working with children who have been adopted or are in the foster care setting, their families and caregivers for 20 years in a variety of settings including residential care (as both a direct care worker and therapist), outpatient therapy, boot camp, and as a clinical supervisor.  She is passionate about helping others heal from traumas and learn to develop healthy attachments to others in their lives.

She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), rostered in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), and certified in Trauma Focused – Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Most recently she became a PACC Certified clinician in order to deepen her knowledge and depth of being able to bring the most current and rounded therapy to adoptive families.

As a Clinical supervisor she is deeply committed to training and teaching other therapists and professionals to assist children and their caregivers in healing the impacts of trauma at any age.  Amber brings the use of humor to therapy and presentations and invites others to be able to be lighthearted with difficult subjects.  She is open and believes deeply in bringing a non-judgemental sincerity to the clients she serves.
