Clinical Psychologist

My Approach to Helping

I have been working in numerous areas of psychotherapy and mental health for 20+ years including depression, anxiety, inpatient, outpatient and private practice. Over the last 20 years, I have developed my therapeutic approach to effectively assist people from all backgrounds in dealing with and overcoming challenges. I am known by my clients as “Dr. Bill” and as your therapist, I will strive to provide you with the best quality services possible in helping to resolve personal struggles and increase your satisfaction in life.

Together we can work on making these improvements to your daily life, your interpersonal relationships, as well as helping you in reaching your personal goals. I provide you with helpful assistance to foster personal change.

I earned my doctorate degree at The California School of Professional Psychology in Fresno, CA in 2005 and my post-doctoral master’s degree in clinical psychopharmacology in 2011. I also received training in pediatric neuropsychology in 2015 and 2016.

As a licensed psychologist in the state of Idaho, my clinical interests include general clinical psychology and neuropsychology with children, adolescents and adults. I work with my clients to help them achieve a deeper understanding of the issues that could be having a negative impact on their lives.

I am in-network with most commercial insurance companies. I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients and help with reimbursement. Please reach out with any questions, we’re happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.

Specialties & Expertise

Life can sometimes become overwhelming, and even the healthiest coping strategies may no longer feel effective. A mental health crisis can occur when emotional distress, traumatic events, or ongoing mental health challenges make it difficult to cope with everyday life. During these times, you may feel overwhelmed, helpless, anxious, or as though you have lost control.

As an outpatient mental health provider, I offer crisis intervention services to help individuals navigate difficult situations, stabilize emotional distress, and develop healthy coping strategies. Together, we will identify immediate concerns, build resilience, and develop practical skills to manage future challenges while supporting your long-term emotional well-being.

Client Focus

Morgan Health Centers offers a variety of mental health services designed to meet the unique needs of each individual. We recognize that every person’s experiences, challenges, and goals are different, which is why treatment is personalized and tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are seeking support for a specific mental health concern, navigating a life transition, or working toward personal growth and emotional wellness, we are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care.

Types of Mental Health Services

Morgan Health Centers offers a variety of mental health services designed to meet the unique needs of each individual. Depending on your treatment plan and clinical needs, services may be provided in one or more of the following formats:

Individual Therapy & Counseling
Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or talk therapy, is a confidential, one-on-one session between you and a licensed mental health professional. In a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment, you can explore personal concerns, develop healthy coping strategies, improve emotional well-being, and work toward meaningful personal goals.

Marital & Couples Counseling
Couples counseling helps spouses and partners strengthen their relationship by improving communication, resolving conflicts, rebuilding trust, and navigating life transitions together. Therapy may also help partners better understand the impact of a mental health condition and develop effective ways to support one another.

Premarital Counseling
Premarital counseling helps couples prepare for a healthy, lasting marriage. Sessions focus on strengthening communication, discussing expectations, addressing potential areas of conflict, developing problem-solving skills, and establishing shared goals before marriage.

Relationship Counseling
Relationship counseling is designed to improve communication and resolve interpersonal challenges between two or more individuals. Services may include counseling for married couples, partners, family members, parents and children, siblings, in-laws, friends, coworkers, or others seeking healthier relationships.

Ages I Work With

Mental health needs change throughout every stage of life. Major life transitions, relationships, school, work, family responsibilities, aging, and unexpected challenges can all affect emotional well-being. Maintaining healthy habits, such as eating a balanced diet, staying physically active, getting adequate sleep, managing stress, and building healthy relationships, can help support positive mental health and overall wellness.

When mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, or other emotional and behavioral challenges begin to interfere with daily life, obtaining an accurate diagnosis and receiving age-appropriate, individualized treatment are essential. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health services tailored to each person’s unique needs, helping individuals develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and improve their quality of life.

I offer mental health services for:

  • Teens
  • Adults
  • Elders

How I Can Help

Mental health challenges exist on a broad spectrum, ranging from the everyday stressors and life transitions we all experience to more serious emotional distress, mental health crises, and long-term mental health conditions. A mental health crisis occurs when life’s challenges become overwhelming and a person’s usual coping strategies are no longer effective. During these times, individuals may feel helpless, distressed, anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or as though they are losing control of their lives.

I am trained to help individuals navigate these difficult situations by providing compassionate, evidence-based support in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. Together, we can identify the underlying concerns, develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and create practical strategies to manage current challenges and promote long-term emotional well-being.

Some of the client concerns, mental health challenges, and conditions I commonly treat include:

  • Anger
  • Anxiety / Panic Disorders
  • Autism & Asperger
  • Borderline Personality
  • Cognitive Impairment
  • Depression
  • Developmental Disorders
  • Intellectual Disability
  • LGBTQIA+ Issues / Gender Identity & Sexual Orientation 
  • Learning Difficulties (6 to Adult)
  • Psychological Evaluations
  • Personality Disorders
  • Stress 
  • Trauma
  • PTSD

Psychotherapy, also referred to as talk therapy, psycho-social therapy, counseling, or, simply, therapy, is the primary method for treating mental health problems by talking with a mental health provider. The goal is to help an individual better understand their mental health and teach strategies and tools that manage unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.

While there are many approaches to psychotherapy, there is no single approach that works for everyone. A  therapist may use a blended approach, sampling techniques from several diverse types of psychotherapy. The kind of psychotherapy a person receives depends on their unique needs. 

The following are some of the evidence-based psychotherapy approaches I use to help individuals address mental health concerns, develop healthy coping skills, and achieve their treatment goals. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your unique needs and may incorporate one or more of these therapeutic approaches.

Types of Therapy

  • Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
  • Psychotherapy
  • Cognitive/Behavioral
  • Existential Psychotherapy 
  • Relational
