Yannick Morris
Being vulnerable and asking for help can feel scary, uncomfortable, and often keep people from addressing their struggles. Yannick offers direct, compassionate therapy for clients who want to navigate issues that feel overwhelming, confusing, and distressing.
Yannick approaches therapy with curiosity, warmth, and a desire to provide clarity and insight. Therapeutic work can often feel challenging, and Yannick will work alongside you to help create movement in the direction you want to go.
Yannick works with adults who are struggling with:
- Substance use disorders or compulsive behavior
- Shame, self-judgement, and negative self-talk
- Strained connection in platonic and/or intimate relationships
- Feeling stuck in life and navigating big life changes
- Coping with grief, trauma, anxiety, and regulating emotions
- Navigating chronic illness
Yannick works with couples wanting to address the impact of addiction, ruptures in trust, communication struggles, parenting, or large life adjustments — couples who are:
- Having trouble navigating communication without it escalating
- Working through substance use, ruptures in trust, and emotional distancing
- Navigating large life transitions such as parenting, career shifts, and grief
Yannick helps create a space in which couples can explore their concerns in a safe environment, develop an understanding of what each individual needs, and instill lasting, sustainable change.
Yannick has a background in Neuroscience and specializes in the overlap of substance use and mental health. Having previously worked at an intensive outpatient clinic, his work is rooted in evidence-based addiction treatment and trauma-informed care, supporting both harm reduction and abstinence-based strategies at every stage of recovery.
Yannick's style is direct, warm, and grounded in authentic connection. He emphasizes developing a stronger understanding of the self, identifying patterns and stuck points, and creating sustainable changes. His approach is rooted in the belief that behaviors are not symptoms needing to be "fixed" but behaviors that serve a purpose that may have become misaligned over time.
