Many of my clients are children who struggle with:* Attention and Learning Issues *Anxiety, Sadness or Mood Swings * A hyper sensitivity to people and the environment. Traditional therapies include medication or "cognitive" approaches. But these approaches do not directly address the fact that often the brain is stuck in an unsuccessful pattern that the conscious mind may not be able to change. My program integrates psychotherapy and coaching with Brain Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) to change these brain patterns and increase calmness, balance, and self regulation.

***** I am currently unable to accept new clients at this time***** I have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, and adults for more than 20 years, with a focus on managing emotional difficulties, relationships, and stress. I tailor my approach to therapy based on each person's own unique experiences, perspectives, and strengths. I work collaboratively with clients to determine the best approach to support them in meeting their goals, and help them to build a foundation of coping skills and strategies that promote wellness and well-being.

The fact that you are here and searching for a therapist is a sign of health. My promise is to make a safe place for you and really listen, support, and guide you. I am interested in your uniqueness, your hidden resources, strategies proven to work, mindfulness-based stress reduction, developing trust in one's internal guidance system, and practices that deepen a sense of connection and purpose. Our relationships are like a mirror where we can learn and grow and heal all wounds. When we have difficulties, we have rich opportunities. Short cut, pick up one of my books at www.JimHughes.org they reduce the need for psychiatric care.

People come to therapy for a variety of issues, including struggles with transitions, PTSD, anxiety, depression, marriage conflict and challenges at work or school. The first step is to work together to establish what your goals are for therapy. I have 24 years clinical experience and am trained in various therapy modalities. I work with adults and young adults 19 +. My specialties are: 1) providing trauma-focused treatment, and 2) working with people facing life transitions or adjustments to new chapters such as college or work life, both of which can create stress or anxiety.

Are you searching to embrace all of you? Do you want to embrace your new? Have you experienced a traumatic event or lost a loved one, divorce, job, incarcerated, pet etc.? Well if so, I am here to meet you where you are. Have you questioned yourself and your answer is why or what?

Connecting with the right therapist can help us lighten negative feelings from week to week. Often these feelings can leave us feeling burdened and reaching out to loved ones can seem impossible. Trusting a therapist enough to give them a call or an email can seem so risky.

I treat trauma, PTSD, phobias, grief and loss, and anxiety disorders of all kinds, even OCD. I help people who are having challenges in their relationships; people who are struggling with depression or substance abuse; people who want to feel more confident, motivated, fulfilled, or connected; or who simply want to be more at peace in the world.

I believe that we all have innate resources that can help us to heal and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. I'm here to witness your pain and reflect your potential for growth. I feel honored to guide clients in self-discovery and assist them in identifying and developing their strengths. I co-create a space with clients where they can feel free to explore their thoughts, feelings, and actions with nonjudgmental curiosity. My role as a therapist is to not only help clients address any current challenges but to also collaborate with them on building lives in which they feel connected, joyful, and worthy.

Welcome! I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety-related problems (including panic, specific fears and general anxiety), those who've suffered traumatic losses or are experiencing life transitions (such as divorce, job loss, military discharge, illness or retirement). I bring 20 years of experience and skills to my work but also know it's the relationship with each client - the caring, trust and collaboration - that is key to recovery and personal growth. Many people prefer to contact me at first by email and we may email several times before you decide to schedule an appointment. That's fine.

In this this time of crises, people are struggling to cope with the multiple challenges they are facing, including isolation, fear, anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, financial stress, and relationships. As a therapist, I want to offer assistance to individuals who find themselves overwhelmed and seeking a safe space in which to openly discuss their concerns. Although I take insurance, I will be discussing a sliding scale with individuals who would otherwise be unable to get treatment.

My therapy approach is client-centered and I believe that the most important part of therapy is the therapeutic alliance created between the client and the therapist.

There are many options and resources available to assist you in reclaiming your life, improving your relationships and creating a more satisfying and fulfilling existence overall. I am here to work with you, to support and challenge you, in a safe and nurturing environment. Let's get started!
