Dr. Morrison is founder of three mental health enterprises, is fluent in English and Spanish, and specializes in making neuroscientific, attachment-based care understandable and actionable for her clients.

Her best work is in helping parents and teens diffuse conflict and grow to understand each other so they can build a relationship that is strong and lasts long into adulthood. Together with her husband, Dr. Carmen Morrison leads an international nonprofit that brings grassroots mental health initiatives to urban slum communities in the developing world.
