Rachael Morgan

Rachael is a Doctoral candidate under supervised practice at D2 Clinic and is completing her Doctoral degree in Counselling Psychology at McGill University. Throughout her Master’s and Doctoral-level training, Rachael has worked with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of mental health challenges, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related issues, gender and sexuality-related issues, life transitions, and relational and interpersonal challenges. Her Doctoral research focuses on adolescent mental health and development, looking at how experiences of victimization underlie youth suicide risk and behavioural difficulties.  

Rachael’s main focus is to create a comfortable, affirming, and nonjudgmental space for clients to safely express themselves. She emphasizes using a collaborative treatment approach tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Rachael draws from approaches including Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), while using a strengths-based approach to help individuals achieve their goals while feeling supported and empowered. 

In addition to her graduate training, Rachael conducts clinical research at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, where she works alongside a team of clinician-scientists to aid in the development of comprehensive interventions for youth with complex mental health challenges and their families.
