Morgan Watkins is a second-year doctoral student in the Clinical PsyD program at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She completed her bachelor’s degree in psychology with minors in criminal justice and theater from the University of Georgia. Morgan was drawn to the field of mental health after recognizing the trauma that systems of oppression inflict upon the LGBTQIA+ community. From this realization, Morgan recognized a lack of mental health services that provide queer affirming and sex positive care. Morgan’s research and clinical interests are in human sexuality, and they are particularly interested in working with the queer community by promoting inclusive sexual justice, health, equality, and education.

As both a professional and an ever-growing human being, Morgan strives to identify and dismantle oppressive systems that perpetuate discrimination, prejudice, violence, ignorance, and hatred. Through social activism, ongoing reflection, and anti-oppressive approaches to mental health, Morgan seeks to grow a knowledgebase that will allow them to provide comprehensive, in-depth, exhaustive, and culturally competent care. In aspiring toward a more progressive and inclusive world that celebrates the natural diversity of humankind, Morgan seeks to uplift historically silenced voices in order to bring attention to inequity and inequality. She strives to celebrate the beautiful uniqueness of a broad range of experiences.

Morgan is an active member of the following Professional Organizations:

• American Psychological Association
