Helping individuals and professionals cultivate inner-resilience, self-trust, and meaningful transformation.
Dr. Morgan Lindsey is a licensed professional counselor with nearly 20 years of experience specializing in resilience building, self-compassion, and trauma recovery. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling.
As the founder of Resilience Partners, PLLC, Dr. Lindsey leads a practice dedicated to integrating modern neuroscience with ancient wisdom traditions. She is deeply grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), incorporating both models extensively into her work.
In addition to these approaches, Dr. Lindsey integrates the Self-Trust and Inner Resilience (STAIR) methodology into her therapy practice. STAIR emphasizes the development of emotional capacity and inner resilience, helping clients cultivate a stronger relationship with themselves. By weaving this approach into her work, Dr. Lindsey supports clients in building the self-trust necessary to navigate challenging emotions, foster healthier internal dialogue, and create a stable foundation for long-term healing and growth inside and out, professionally and personally.
A passionate educator and mentor, Dr. Lindsey is committed to training the next generation of therapists and coaches. She supervises emerging practitioners, facilitates consultation groups for experienced clinicians, and serves as an adjunct professor at Naropa University’s Master's in Therapy Program, where she teaches courses on psychotherapy and integrative healing approaches.
Beyond academia, Dr. Lindsey has developed training materials for therapists, including a course with Therapy Wisdom. She has also been actively involved with both IFS and IFIO for over a decade, serving as a program assistant and co-leader for multiple trainings and retreats directly with Toni Herbine Blank, the founder of IFIO, and Dick Schwartz, the creator of IFS.
