Eric M Morrell, PHD

I was there for a psych evaluation after my 18 year old son sexually abused my eleven year old daughter in the middle of the night while my husband and I were sleeping. DHS became involved in our lives and sent us to have a psych eval. Dr. Morrel forgot to ask us pertinent questions and had to call us back to ask them, he told us to change answers to questions on some of the tests, and although neither one of us came back with any mental health diagnosis, he gave us poor GAF scores. The whole experience was unbelievable. Although my husband and I are college educated, own our home, have always been employed, and are long time members (30+ Years) of our community, he gave us gaf scores that said we should have suicidal idiations, that we wouldn’t be capable of holding a job, or functioning in society. This man is crazy. We have come out the other end of this trauma, and my husband and I are both employed, our younger kids are thriving and safe, our son who victimized our children has been dealt with through the justice system, and never once have either of us considered suicide. Go figure.

As Dr. Morrell has helped me immensely in overcome issues related to PTSD and social anxiety, I was dismayed to see negative reviews. Eventually I was able to figure it out. What the reviews don’t say is Dr. Morrell is often called upon as an expert witness by the courts to testify in cases such as those involving child custody, diminished mental capacity, etc. He has been an advocate for both defendants and the prosecution and exhibits unquestionable professional ethics. What is reflected in these negative reviews are unwarranted attacks by individuals who were affected by Dr. Morrell’s professional testimony and chose this forum to vent.
As far as my experience goes, I find Dr. Morrell’s treatment to be individualized, compassionate, and effective. If you are looking for a cookie cutter, 12 steps works for everyone therapist, then perhaps he is not your man. For everyone else, I cannot recommend him high enough.

Doctor Eric Morrell is one of the finest Psychologists in all of Southern Oregon. He is a very caring person and always takes a personal interest in the well-​being of his clients. He is dedicated to his practice and has worked tirelessly to help me solve some of my most difficult life challenges. His guidance and solutions are invaluable and have always been at once direct, profound, accurate, specific to my issues and easy to understand and implement. I would highly recommend him to couples or individuals that are truly in need of competent and caring help. 5 plus stars!
