🌿 Where Are They Now: Maura Morales

Maura was part of the MQA family from March 2018 through June 2025, and we’re thrilled to spotlight her this week!

After years of providing compassionate, grounded care at MQA, Maura took the leap into private practice with Morales Therapy PLLC, where she is currently welcoming new clients. You can reach her at mmoralestherapy@gmail.com to schedule.

Q: "What is your favorite MQA memory?"
A: "My favorite MQA memories happened during the pandemic (oddly enough, lol) running down the long quiet hallways in our slippers and cracking jokes with Morgan and Colleen as we tried to keep our heads afloat during a time when the world was shut down and we didn't know what tomorrow would bring."

Q: "Who was your favorite MQA coworker?"
A: “Meaghan Cusack! She always made time to provide a space where I could bounce ideas off her and chat about our personal lives as well. She brought me a sense of connection and grounding, which is so important in our line of clinical work.”

Q: "What do you miss most about MQA?"
A: "Our potluck style team meeting breakfasts at Lauren's house or our annual Reiki sessions with Lisa Espinosa. Both of those events made me feel connected and cared for in the group."

We’re so proud of Maura and the amazing work she is doing! Please help spread the word to anyone looking for a thoughtful, compassionate therapist!

🧡 Talking to kids about hard things is…well...hard. But kids hear about what's going on in the world, and they can sense when the adults around them feel stressed. Having a trusted adult break down what’s happening in the world can help them make sense of difficult topics, and more importantly, can give them the feeling that "my grownups have got me."

We’re grateful to Dr. Lidia Michel for bringing her trademark compassion and integrity to this subject in our latest blog post.

🌟 In this week’s edition of Where are They Now: Daniel Warshawsky 🌟

Humble, kind, and endlessly curious, Daniel brought warmth and intellectual rigor to everything he did at MQA. He joined us for his Diagnostic Practicum in 2022–2023, where his openness to learning and natural curiosity made him a joy to supervise, and his kindness and sense of humor made him so fun to work with. Daniel caught on to testing like nobody’s business - report writing came so naturally to him that he was turning out postdoc-quality reports in no time at all...which left more time for learning about advanced topics in testing✨

Q: What are you doing now?
A: I took an extra year for my dissertation, so right now I’m doing a second advanced practicum at Lake Forest College Health and Wellness Center.

Q: What do you miss most about MQA?
A: The people. I’ve never been surrounded by so many amazing clinicians. The working environment was so collaborative—everyone was always willing to talk, consult, and get to know each other.

We miss you and we are so proud of you, Daniel! We can’t wait to see all the places your curiosity and compassion will take you! (and hope it's back to MQA lol) 💙
