Dr. Virginia Morris
I am a naturopathic doctor specializing in mental health, neurodivergence, transgender health, and chronic illness. My practice focuses trauma-informed care, health at every size, and harm reduction. I am committed to providing a welcoming space for everyone regardless of race, size, gender identity, sexual orientation, relationship dynamics, mental health status, or background.
​
I approach patient care with compassion and curiosity. Each appointment a partnership with the patient, where both people contribute their expertise to achieve the patient’s health and life goals. My curiosity helps me blend evidence-based care with the ability to look at complex health situations and come up with new ideas for care.
​
My pathway to Naturopathic Medicine included a bachelor’s degree in Biology and decades of work as a massage therapist. I've been a Naturopathic Doctor for 14 years. That journey has included almost a decade of focused care with transgender health and six years of focused in care of neurodivergent patients with the constellation of diagnoses that frequently accompany autism, ADHD, etc.
Patient Care Approach
Personalized Care
Every person is different and every condition is different. My goal is to figure out what treatment works best for you given your individual symptoms, resources, and needs.
​
Education
I believe that educating you about your condition empowers you to improving your health with knowledge and understanding. The more you understand about how your body works, the better you can advocate for yourself and your health!
​
Collaboration
I believe that good healthcare requires collaboration between providers involved in your care. I work with specialists and primary care providers to help combine conventional and alternative healthcare treatments, giving you comprehensive care.
