Hi, I’m Morgan Szymczak (“Sim-Jack”). I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, offering in-person relational therapy (couples, families, etc) and individual psychotherapy to adults in Chico, CA. I also offer online therapy throughout California.

I often work with folks and families navigating complexity. This often looks like people who don’t fit easily into convenient boxes, or labels and people who have tried therapy before and didn’t find that brand of therapy to be helpful. Many people I work with function well in some areas of their lives, while feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected in other areas.

Throughout our lives, we’ve learned ways of coping, relating and making sense of the world. These patterns serve us well, until life changes. When circumstances shift, those familiar paths we once relied on may stop working, or even become disruptive. Change often happens at the intersection of a life that no longer looks the way we expected, and a map that no longer fits the terrain. In therapy I help people connect and express emotions they may not have been in touch with before, or perhaps have never had the permission to notice.

As a therapist, my role is to help you uncover these patterns with compassion, understand why they developed, and explore new ways forward when your life shifts. Together we work towards creating a map that better reflects who you are now.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, my partner and my corgi Ein. I recharge through reading, art journaling, watching anime, playing Final Fantasy XIV, and sewing.
