You Deserve to Feel Great. I’m Here to Help.

Morgan O’Shaughnessy is Bayside Recovery and Wellness Center’s CEO and Clinical Director.

I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduating with Honors from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the State of Florida.

My Background

I’ve worked in various roles and numerous therapeutic settings including crisis stabilization units, the Orange County Public School System, domestic violence abuse agencies, intensive outpatient programs, partial hospitalization programs for active duty service members, veterans and first responders as well as transitional housing for homeless veterans. We provide an array of services including individualized counseling to individuals, couples, and families as needed, using a framework of Humanistic Psychology and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. Furthermore, we work with clients who experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief/loss issues, low self-esteem, addiction, childhood trauma, and those who struggle with major life changes and transitions.

My Approach & Philosophy

I believe in a holistic approach while cultivating a strong therapeutic alliance where I guide my clients to finding solutions for living and loving their lives as they overcome challenges and gain the tools to empower themselves. I work with my clients to identify core strengths and inner resilience, while bringing to light self-compassion and self-acceptance for healing and growth to begin. My approach is warm, genuine, and devoted to providing a non-judgmental, safe space to work through both past and present issues.

Clinical Interests

My clinical interests include trauma recovery through Trauma Focused Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based modalities such as meditation and breathwork, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Morgan is trained and certified by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA).

I’m truly inspired by working with my clients as they make lasting, positive changes mentally, physically, and emotionally and look forward to working with you.
