Liz Morrison, LCSW is a child, adolescent, and young adult psychotherapist practicing in New York City. Providing individual, family, and group therapy.

I will help you to achieve your goals by providing you, your child, or your family with the highest quality mental health service. As a specialist in children and families, my approach to helping you find results through psychotherapy is based on my experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in mental health facilities, schools, and private practice settings. My challenging and direct, yet compassionate and considerate approach will allow you to reach your highest potential. As your therapist, I will tailor my approach to meet your needs. My approach is one that is flexible and integrative. I will use the training I have received in cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused CBT, play therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, parent-child relational issues, and expressive arts therapy to help you achieve your goals. I am a NY State Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in children and family therapy. I completed my B.A. at Muhlenberg College and my M.A. at Columbia University. In addition I have a masters certificate in children and family therapy at NYU. My office is in Union Square. Please call for more information.

Ten years ago this month, I opened a small therapy practice in Union Square with hopes of supporting the mental health needs of local families. Over the last decade, Liz Morrison Therapy has grown alongside its patients and now serves families nationwide via a virtual practice model. My team of therapists and I have had the honor of helping children, teens, parents and young adults overcome some of life's biggest challenges. In addition, we have collaborated with renowned psychiatrists, doctors, learning specialists, neuropsychologists, schools, and other providers to offer a team approach to clients. In doing so, we have had the pleasure of watching our patients adapt, grow and succeed in many areas of their lives.

Whether you've been with us since the beginning or just joined recently, we thank you for your support and are excited to what the next ten years will bring!

Part 2 of our Keep Calm and Cope This Way: How and When To Use your Coping Strategies series! If you missed part 1, you can find it on our page.

In a busy, and sometimes stressful, life we all need positive coping strategies like taking a walk in nature, scheduling breaks, listening to music, taking a deep breath, practicing mindfulness meditation, engaging creativity, talking to a good friend, or taking a bath. But which strategy is right for which kind of situation?

How effective is it if you mostly have short term, emergency coping strategies? Or do you really need to transform your behaviors more in deeper and long term ways? These are some of the questions we seek to answer in today’s part 1 post in a series of healthy coping mechanisms.

We also have more resources available on our website to help support you. If you have any questions or want to get in contact, please click the link in our bio or call our offices at 347-758-2985.

You might have been going to therapy for a while — and you may be leaving sessions feeling confused, angry, or stuck. If this sounds familiar, your therapy may no longer be working, and it can be difficult to know what to do next. Looking critically at the help you need versus the help you're getting can help you determine a path forward, whether it's changing therapy types, moving to a new therapist, or something else.

When therapy stops working, it can signal small issues that need to be fixed or bigger problems that require more fundamental changes. Either way, it's important to express what you’re thinking and how you’re feeling. The more honest you are, the more help you can get, so be brave and have that tricky conversation.

Whether you’re feeling lonely, nervous, sad, or angry, emotion-focused coping skills can help you deal with your feelings in a healthy way. Healthy coping strategies may soothe you, temporarily distract you, or help you tolerate your distress.

Sometimes it’s helpful to face your emotions head-on. It’s important to use coping skills to help relieve some of your distress but coping strategies shouldn’t be about constantly distracting you from reality.

Other times, coping skills may help you change your mood. If you’ve had a bad day at work, playing with your kids or watching a funny movie might cheer you up. Or, if you’re angry about something someone said, a healthy coping strategy might help you calm down before you say something you might regret. Here are some examples of healthy emotion-focused coping skills:

Clean the house (or a closet, drawer, or area)
Color
Cook a meal
Do yoga
Draw
Drink tea
Garden
Give yourself a pep talk
Go for a walk
Engage in a hobby
Exercise
Put on lotion that smells good
Read a book
Reframe the way you are thinking about the problem
Squeeze a stress ball
Smile
Spend time in nature
Take a bath

Hey you! Take this nugget of truth and move in power today. 🙌💙✨

Summertime is for relaxing. But, for many teenagers, relaxing seems to mean sitting on the couch and staring into screens. Games, social media, catching up with celebrity news – all of that can easily fill up a teenager’s vacation day, and all of it can be done without moving any muscles except for fingers and eyes. Appeals to ‘get out and exercise more’ often fall on deaf ears. Eye muscles may get a little bit more of a workout through sarcastic rolling, but keeping teenagers active and committed to activity is an uphill struggle.

Here are 5 unusual activities that can keep your teens off the couch this summer. The whole family can enjoy some of these activities.

After more than a year of working remotely, some employees will have to transition to returning to the office to work. Many employees may experience anxiety with the transition and seek to find ways to calm their nerves. Here are a few reminders we wanted to share with those of you who are nervous about returning to the office.

⭐️ Acknowledge that you are experiencing a moment of anxiety and sit with it. Practice a few moments of controlled breathing and letting your thoughts flow freely without attaching a story to every thought. By acknowledging your feelings and thoughts, this can reduce the amount of time you feel anxious.
⭐️ Plan and develop what habits you would like to maintain as you transition back to the office— for example, quiet morning routines, walks, and exercise. Consider what has benefited your overall wellbeing and make these non-negotiable.
⭐️ Accept that things will look different, but remember that you do not have to navigate what is new alone. Friends, family, therapy can be vital to adjusting to hybrid work settings.

Remember to take the transition one step at a time and having boundaries/awareness of what can help you “ease back in” is an excellent place to start. Also remember that all thoughts are not facts.
