Dr. Stephanie Morgan is a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California, an AAMFT-approved supervisor, and a certified intuitive eating counselor. Her educational background includes a bachelor's degree in human services, a master's degree in counseling psychology, and a doctorate in educational leadership with an emphasis in psychology. She began her career in the helping profession in 2006 and has a diverse background of experiences working with adults, children, and families both directly and indirectly in acute, outpatient, and managed care settings.

Her work in higher education began in 2012, and she has served as a faculty member and administrator in several institutions in both the United States and Canada, teaching undergraduate and graduate psychology courses and mentoring graduate students on their journey toward becoming a therapist. In addition to her work as a core faculty member at AULA, she consults as a clinical supervisor in a counseling department within an outpatient medical clinic carrying a small client caseload and specializes in the treatment of eating disorders. As a clinician, she uses an integrative approach to psychotherapy, informed by psychodynamic theory and augmented by empirically validated approaches like DBT and CBT. She works relationally with clients and through a fat-positive, anti-fatphobia, health at every size, and anti-diet culture lens to provide inclusive and safe therapeutic care.

Her research interests include student therapist perception of competency, medical trauma and the weaponization of bodies/body size, and the usefulness of psychodynamic approaches and the accompanying experiences of clients.
