Since starting my career in psychotherapy I’ve always connected with a more humanistic approach. My work thus far has been nature inspired. I myself have found the more than human world to be truly healing.

I think that each client is different, and that no one size fits all. I think it's important for a client and therapist to work toward the goals that are most important to the client.

Hello, I am a therapist with an extensive history of working with clients of all ages who have had to deal with a multitude of mental health symptoms or difficulty managing the conflicts that arise for all of us as we attempt to find joy in a complicated world. My style is to be collaborative while providing culturally responsive therapeutic services to children, adolescents, families, and individuals, I look forward to working with clients to enhance their innate abilities to create positive change in their lives, with their relationships, and within the community they interactive with.

Therapy is about more than talking, it's about gaining the skills for making changes you need in order to get you to your goals. I am empathetic but straight forward, finding a balance between a client's thoughts, emotions and behaviors. You might be ready to have your behavior change before internal change can occur. You need to be action action oriented and I will be also. I always push clients for change but do so in a way that is enjoyable for all involved. By the end of each session you will have a sense of progress made toward your ultimate goals.

It's time to think about yourself differently. I'm not exactly the touchy feely kind of therapist and won't ask "how does that make you feel" every 5 minutes. I help you get significant, lasting change, not just to feel good talking. I work with individual, couples and families. It's your thoughts and beliefs that cause your problems. If you want change in marriage, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger or even drug/alcohol use, we have to change the way you think about yourself, both individually and within your relationships. When we fix that, everything else falls in line.

I believe we are all born with everything we need to thrive, then life slaps us in the face in an abundance of ways from a variety of directions and we adjust our beliefs and behaviors in order to simply survive. If you are here looking for a therapist, it is likely you are not satisfied with how you have adjusted to life’s various assaults. My approach to therapy is more direct, utilizes humor, and is founded in cognitive behavioral theory with a strengths based perspective. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for something different and willing to do the hard work to get it.

JJ Pugsley's ideal client is anyone that feels lost in the big picture of the world today. From anxiety and depression to trauma and acute, episodic needs, JJ has a heart for helping people value themselves and their ability to work through issues.

Are you struggling with the behavior of a Teen, Pre-teen or young child? Are you going through a life transition, divorce, grief, loss? Do you just need someone to support you personally or as a parent? I have over 18 years experience working with Children, Adolescents and Families. I have experience working with ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, parent-child relationship issues, grief and loss.

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals of incredibly diverse backgrounds and concerns. Whether your goal is to increase energy, get sober, learn positive coping skills, or maintain/create a good relationship with others, we can work together to make it happen.

I support individuals in their desire to heal and improve their quality of life. Sessions are focused on the development of concrete skills to manage emotions and thought patterns which influence our behaviors in conjunction with EMDR, a quick and effective treatment for trauma, anxiety, phobias and a variety of other areas of concern. As with any community, mountain communities have their own unique culture. I live and work in this community allowing me to relate to the dynamics of mountain living. Clients have described me as straightforward and "no nonsense". I create an active healing environment, more than just talk therapy.

I have worked in the field of psychology since 1993. I received master’s degrees in counseling psychology and sport psychology and have a doctorate in clinical psychology. I specialize in child and adult neuropsychological testing and treatment for challenges such as autism, learning disabilities, ADHD, memory function, head injury, chronic pain, cancer, post-traumatic growth and social and emotional function. I also am a practicing sport psychologist working with athletes, performers, and business organizations toward optimal performance. My services include testing, neurofeedback, biofeedback, integrative health and therapy.

Therapy is an incredibly useful tool that helps with a range of issues, from anxiety to sleep to trauma to relationships. With a therapist’s support, you can understand why difficult things happen to you. If you have talked to friends and family about how you’re feeling, you realize that they tell you to do XYZ and that will surely fix it! But life is a struggle. Therapy allows you an hour a week to focus on yourself. It can help you thrive in your career, make a good marriage great, help you be a fantastic parent, and make your purpose in life a little clearer. Therapy can teach you coping skills: efforts to minimize stress.
