Play Therapy for Kids, Support for the Parents Who Love Them
I'm Morgan Abraham, LCSW — a child therapist who uses play therapy to help kids work through big emotions, anxiety, sensory needs, and life's harder moments. That work with children is also what led me to supporting the parents and caregivers raising them.
I'm also a parent coach through Parenthood on Purpose, where I teach Robyn Gobbel's parenting course — the same developmentally informed, attachment-based approach I bring to therapy.

Hi! I’m Morgan Abraham, LCSW
I'm the founder of Morgan Abraham Therapy and a parent coach at Parenthood on Purpose, where I teach Robyn Gobbel’s parenting course. In my practice, I provide care for mothers, families, and young children in Redondo Beach and throughout the South Bay, as well as online across California. I specialize in pregnancy, postpartum, parenting stress, anxiety, and trauma.
Becoming a mother has deepened so much of the therapist I am today.
How I Can Help
Ways We Might Work Together
Not sure where to start?
If your child is struggling and you'd like someone working directly with them, Child-Centered Therapy is the place to start. If you're the one feeling overwhelmed, or you and a partner or co-parent want to get on the same page, Parent, Caregiver & Family Support is built for you. Many families end up using both, and I'm always happy to help you figure out which makes sense first.
Getting Started
Here's How We'll Work Together
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a lot, especially when you're already handling so much. My goal is to make the process clear and manageable from the start.

Early sessions focus on understanding your experiences, what's been hard, and what kind of support would help most. There's no pressure to have it all figured out before you start.

QUESTIONS PARENTS & CAREGIVERS ASK
FAQS
-
I help children, parents, caregivers, and families navigate anxiety, depression, big emotions, behavioral challenges, parenting stress, family dynamics, trauma, and difficult life transitions. I also support mothers through pregnancy, postpartum challenges, pregnancy loss, and fertility struggles.
Many people I work with aren't sure how to describe what they're going through. They just know something feels off, their child is struggling, or their family needs extra support. Wherever you are, therapy offers a safe, supportive space to work through challenges and find a path forward.
-
Parenting and caregiving bring many challenges, and some seasons feel harder than others. Therapy gives you a space to explore what you're going through, better understand your child's needs, and navigate the emotions and challenges that come with caring for others. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with family dynamics, or unsure how to support your child, therapy can help you build confidence, strengthen relationships, and find healthier ways to move forward. Sometimes, simply having a space where you don't have to hold everything together can make a bigger difference than you expected.
-
You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Many parents and caregivers contact me because they know something isn't working, whether they're struggling themselves, concerned about their child, or navigating challenges within their family. We can start with what feels most important to you and work together to determine the kind of support that best fits your needs.
-
During our first few sessions, I'll take time to get to know you, your child, or your family and understand what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about the challenges you're facing, what's been weighing on you, and what you'd like to change. From there, we'll work together to find an approach that fits your individual needs and goals.
-
Yes. Along with in-person therapy in Redondo Beach and the surrounding South Bay communities, I offer online therapy to parents, caregivers, and families across California. Online therapy can make it easier to fit support into your busy schedule, whether you're balancing parenting, caregiving, work, or everyday family life. You'll receive the same compassionate, personalized care regardless of how we meet.
-
Yes. I work with children, parents, caregivers, and families navigating anxiety, big emotions, behavioral challenges, parenting stress, and family dynamics. Whether your child needs individual support, you're looking for guidance as a parent or caregiver, or your family is facing challenges together, we'll work to understand what's happening and find an approach that supports your needs and strengthens your relationships.
-
EMDR is a therapy approach that helps children, parents, and caregivers process difficult or unresolved experiences that continue to affect their emotions, relationships, or daily lives. Over time, these experiences may begin to feel less overwhelming, allowing you to move forward without carrying the same emotional weight. My approach to EMDR is carefully paced, with a strong focus on helping you feel safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the process.
-
There's no perfect time to start therapy. Some parents and caregivers reach out when they're feeling overwhelmed, struggling to support their child's needs, or navigating difficult family dynamics. Others seek support because their child is having a hard time, their relationships feel strained, or they're finding it harder to manage the demands of everyday life. Whatever you're facing, you don't have to keep trying to figure it all out on your own.
