Trent Morell, LMFT

Trent Morell is a therapist who helps couples and individuals build stronger, healthier, and more connected relationships. His approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, systemic, and feminist – meaning he takes into account not only the individual, but also the experiences, relationships, and contexts that have shaped their life. Trent’s goal is to create a space where clients feel truly supported and empowered to make meaningful change in their life.

When working with couples, Trent focuses on helping romantic partners connect through intimacy, trust, honest emotional connection, and personal responsibility. He guides them in exploring their patterns that create distance, repairing past hurts, and strengthening the foundation needed to grow together. His style combines emotional attunement with practical tools, ensuring that couples not only discuss their challenges but also practice new ways of connecting with one another that extend into daily life. Whether navigating conflict, rebuilding after a breach of trust, or simply seeking to deepen their bond, couples find Trent’s guidance compassionate, clear, and hopeful.

With individuals, Trent will explore how their family history continues to shape their present relationships. All people carry lessons, beliefs, and unspoken rules from their families of origin that will influence their decisions every day, whether or not they are aware of them. These patterns will come out in all of their relationships, whether they are romantic, platonic, or their relationship with themself. Trent helps clients uncover these patterns, fostering greater self-awareness and the ability to create healthier, more intentional choices and connections in the present.

He is especially passionate about supporting survivors of domestic or sexual trauma who long to rediscover peace, safety, and intimacy in their current relationships. Trent approaches this work with gentleness, patience, and deep respect, offering both validation of past pain and hope for new, life-giving patterns. He also enjoys working with adult families – parents, children, and siblings – who are ready to improve communication, resolve long-standing conflicts, or strengthen their bonds.

Trent holds a Master’s degree in Couple and Family Therapy (CFT) from the University of Maryland, College Park, and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He previously worked at the Center for Healthy Families in College Park, where he supported a wide and diverse range of couples, families, and individuals.

At the heart of Trent’s work is the belief that therapy should feel collaborative, safe, and meaningful. He sees the therapeutic process as an opportunity not only for healing but also for growth – helping clients move toward fuller, more connected versions of themselves and the relationships they value most.
