Morgan Hull
Counselor and Art Therapist for Adults, Teens, Children, and Families
You have a good job, good friends, all the things that are supposed to make people happy. But it isn’t working. Doing the “right thing” somehow feels wrong. Hanging out with people, even the ones you really like, leaves you feeling drained. You’re getting tired of acting like everything is fine. You’d like to just drop to the floor and cry. Or run. What is happening?
It used to be better than this. You felt engaged, invested. Adventurous. Playful, even. And you could get things done. Where did that person go? How did it get so hard to do the things you need to do?
I’m Morgan, and I’ve been there. Your struggle is real. It isn’t going to stop on its own. But there IS a way out! I help stressed, burned out neurospicy people exhale, unclench, and find themselves again.
Neurodiversity affirming art therapy can help.
Molding yourself into what others want you to be is exhausting. Trying to fit in with “normies.” Masking your true self no matter how few spoons you have left. Maybe you knew that was happening. And maybe you’re just starting to notice.
When you meet with me, you’ll connect with your authentic self again. It might feel strange at first. You’ve gotten so used to trying to be what someone else expects. But I’ll be right here, bringing a calm, supportive energy that reminds you it’s ok to be real.
You’ll learn that true self expression can be beautiful and affirming. Together we’ll nurture all parts of yourself, including those that you’ve been discouraged from expressing. The ones that someone told you weren’t ok.
Masking your ADHD or autism isn’t the solution. Therapy can be.
In neurodiversity affirming therapy you’ll start to unmask and build a true appreciation for your neurospicy self. You’ll notice when the shame and self doubt appear, and mindfully observe how they affect you. You’ll make a clear, concrete, multisensory plan to bring yourself peace again.
And as you start to show up as your authentic self in your daily life, you’ll feel more whole. You’ll have more energy. You’ll make connections with people who affirm and support who you truly are. You’ll acknowledge and accept the shame you’ve felt, without letting it stop you.
We can reach your goals through art therapy, with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques, or by exploring your interests together. Click here to become your energized, authentic self again.

How Does Art Therapy Treat ADHD and Anxiety?
Why art therapy for ADHD, autistic stress, and neurodivergence?
Words aren’t always the answer. In fact, sometimes language isn’t the clearest mode of self expression. Sometimes we’ve practiced saying the same thing so much that we’ve lost our knowledge of what’s really true. Or sometimes the struggle to find the right words is too distracting. If art therapy doesn’t feel right for you, I do other kinds of therapy too. Just ask!
