Morgan Huls
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a certificate in Functional Medicine. This specialized education allows me to approach each client’s mental health from a holistic standpoint, looking at all aspects of life to determine the underlying cause and assist the client in achieving optimal mental wellness by addressing the root of an issue! I also have certificates in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy and Health & Life Coaching which allow my clients to focus on forward movement towards goals and a life of desire while recognizing and reprocessing the negative belief systems that currently hold them back.
I am happy to provide an integrative approach tailored to each client’s situation, desires, and goals while providing the best in potential solutions and optimal living strategies. Through integrating traditional psychiatry care with functional medicine, clients are given an individualized treatment plan beyond what conventional medicine alone can provide.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband Brady, our toddler Barrett, our new baby Wrenley, and our dogs Eddie & Winnie. I love to travel, hang out with family, and spend time in Clear Lake and Lake of the Ozarks. During my free time, I like to experiment with new recipes and exercise, and I’m always in pursuit of upping my personal holistic wellness journey!
