Intro

Hello there! I’m Dr. Morgan (she/her/hers); licensed psychologist living in Florida, with PSYPACT authorization to provide telehealth services in over 40 states. I strive to create a space that feels affirming and restorative for clients from all walks of life, including neurodivergent people. I bring a deep understanding of the diverse factors that shape mental health. My approach centers on culturally responsive, identity-affirming care rooted in equity, compassion, and evidence-based practice.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

During my time providing assessments and therapy for autistic adults, I came to learn how life changing and affirming diagnostic clarity can be. Over the years, I’ve met adults who have felt  misunderstood, masking to get by, and wondering why things felt harder for them than others. I’m passionate about providing assessments that offer not just answers, but affirmation. It can be validating to finally have language for your experience—and it can be a relief to feel understood. I approach each assessment with care, flexibility, and a commitment to honoring each person’s unique way of being in the world.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I use a warm, collaborative style to help clients feel heard and to reduce the stress of the assessment experience. Through a blend of empathetic support, honest feedback, and constructive encouragement, I strive for client’s to conclude their time with me feeling that they were truly heard, and having a better understanding of themselves as a result of their experience. I also know that neurodivergence doesn’t just look one way, and use a culturally informed approach to assessment. I’m especially passionate about working with individuals whose experiences with autism may have been overlooked—such as women and BIPOC clients—due to ideas about what autism “looks like”. I want clients to leave with a sense of clarity and self-acceptance—able to say, “This is who I am,” without feeling like they need to justify or apologize for their differences.
