Amber McKinney-Morgan, LCSW, LICSW(She/Her/Hers)

Amber McKinney-Morgan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in San Diego, CA who works with teenagers, young adults, and adults seeking expert therapy support as they navigate life’s challenges. Many of her clients are high achievers who place immense pressure on themselves in their personal and professional life. They seek personal growth to break out of the patterns that hold them back from happiness, including trauma reactions, anxiety, or harmful attachments to others. She is particularly passionate about working with women and LGBTQ individuals.

Therapy with Amber is holistic, as she encourages clients to reflect on the mind, body, and spirit in their self-work. Utilizing both depth work and practical skill development, her services provide clients with comprehensive healing. She practices Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, sex therapy, Gottman Method, somatic experiencing, and more. Clients learn more about themselves, including connecting with their inner child to explore trauma backgrounds or attachment issues. They also learn how to clearly communicate their needs and address perfectionist tendencies, all through the lens of societal influences.

Amber earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from San Diego State University. She has nearly 10 years of experience as a therapist, honing her ability to create a safe, warm space where clients’ needs are front and center. Throughout sessions with Amber, clients begin to trust their inner wisdom and create new patterns in their lives that lead to healthy, joyful experiences.
