Morgan Pemberton
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, EMDR certified
Mrs. Pemberton is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, OCD, and ADHD. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Art from Chapman University and a Master’s Degree in Psychology from Hope International University in Fullerton, California. Mrs. Pemberton is a Certified EMDR Therapist, a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH), and an ADHD Certified Clinical Service Provider (ADHD-CCSP).
With a person-centered approach, Mrs. Pemberton creates a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore and address life challenges. She incorporates evidence-based techniques to foster healing, focusing on the importance of building insight into one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Her goal is to enhance clients’ relationships with themselves and others, promoting lasting change and growth.
As a specialist in EMDR, Mrs. Pemberton works primarily with clients facing complex cases, often involving multiple diagnoses or trauma targets. She is skilled in helping individuals process trauma using bilateral stimulation and cognitive reframing techniques. Mrs. Pemberton has extensive experience working with clients managing anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and trauma, and she brings a compassionate yet results-driven approach to her practice.
In addition to her expertise in EMDR, Mrs. Pemberton has two years of experience in substance abuse treatment and over three years of experience implementing behavior modification strategies. Her broad skill set allows her to tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of each client.
Mrs. Pemberton is a blend of contradictions: where modern technology meets old-fashioned charm. While she stays current with the latest advancements in technology and enjoys continuous learning, she is also drawn to the tranquility of English gardens, tea parties, and nature. Her soul is fueled by creativity and curiosity, but she thrives with a more Type A personality.
Her therapeutic philosophy is aligned with her favorite quotes:
"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." – Shakespeare
"Everything that irritates us about others can lead to an understanding of ourselves." – Carl Jung
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path & leave a trail." – Ralph Waldo Emerson
A therapist's dream client is one who is eager, motivated, and ready to engage in the work necessary for change. Mrs. Pemberton seeks clients who are not only ready for transformation but also bring complexity and depth to the therapeutic process. If you are prepared to put in the effort to achieve meaningful change, she invites you to reach out and explore whether this partnership could be a good fit.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My background is in both psychoanalysis and neuroscience (doctorate) and I am also a Certified and Licensed Psychoanalyst. So I am able to bring both a background in research into mind/brain issues, and I am trained as a clinician. I have been working with trauma for many years, and most recently (2016) I have been working with traumatic brain injury patients (including professional athletes). I am grateful for my dual background in mind/brain, because all brain injured patients require both perspectives. In August of 2023 I published "The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries: Listening to The Brain" with Cambridge Scholars Publishing in the UK. This is the story (based on case histories) of the journey to find a "healing road" for all persons who have had serious disruptions in brain functioning. This is very, very challenging territory to work in. And in my experience, requires a great collaboration between doctor and patient. I am also the author of "Moon Over Seaville," the story of the hunt for a serial arsonist in Southern California (in 4 Episodes). Available everywhere under "Mystery/Thrillers." I have patients all across the country (via phone). Brain injuries can be healed!
