Meet Morgan Pinedo, APCC #10152 — and exhale. The kids are in good hands.
Morgan is an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor with a PPS credential who shows up for children, teens, and families with steadiness, warmth, and the kind of presence that says, you matter here.
Her work is rooted in a humanistic, client-centered approach. Translation? She doesn’t see “behaviors.” She sees whole humans — emotional worlds, developmental stages, family systems, tender stories still unfolding. Every path toward healing is individualized. No copy-and-paste therapy. No one-size-fits-all solutions.
Morgan earned her Master’s in Counseling from Chapman University and has been serving the South Orange County community since 2021 across schools, community mental health, and private practice. She has a particular spark when working with children and adolescents — meeting them where they are, speaking their language, and helping them feel both safe and capable.
She integrates evidence-based practices like CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing — grounding the work in research while keeping it real and relational. When words aren’t enough (because sometimes they aren’t), she incorporates child-centered, non-directive play therapy, giving kids space to process through play in ways that feel natural and empowering.
Morgan supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, low motivation, and life transitions. She’s also well-versed in 504 plans and IEPs, advocating for students in systems that don’t always slow down to see them.
And here’s what we love most: she partners with parents and caregivers. Therapy doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Morgan provides psychoeducation, practical tools, and ongoing collaboration so families feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.
Seen. Heard. Empowered.
Welcome to the Unfiltered Therapy team, Morgan. We’re so glad you’re here!
