A Practice Built on Presence

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

I intentionally curate a small caseload so that I can show up with the presence and authenticity your story deserves. This is a relational collaboration where we take the time to look at the unique tapestry of your life by honoring the intricate threads of your past while creating space for who you are becoming.

Beyond The Surface: Honoring Complexity

I often work with individuals and families who don’t fit into convenient boxes. Whether you are navigating LGBTQ+ identity, cultural belonging, or the heavy gap between your professional success and internal fulfillment, I believe you deserve nuance, not just a label. Many of my clients find that standard therapy approaches only scratch the surface. They come to me when they are ready to examine the deeper patterns or the underlying weave that keeps them feeling stuck.

Repatterning the Map

Throughout our lives, we develop ways of coping and relating until life changes. We find ourselves at an intersection where the life we have no longer matches the map we were given. In our sessions, we don’t just talk about the terrain. We work together on repatterning the map so it actually reflects who you are now.

I help you uncover the “why” of your patterns with compassion, connect with emotions you may have never had permission to notice, and integrate parts of yourself you’ve had to leave behind.

Human to Human

The best therapy happens when both people are fully human. When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m usually tending to my own creative threads through art journaling, sewing & patterning, or playing Final Fantasy XIV. I live in Butte County with my partner and corgi, Ein.
