Angie Hughes, LCPC. with a Master's in Pastoral counseling. Journey of life has challenges and transitions that can lead us on an up-and-down road. I am here to partner with individuals in healing and to empower them to recognize their inner strength and worth. I have worked with adolescents, adults, and senior populations individually and in groups.
My approach
My master's degree in Pastoral Counseling combines psychology theories such as CBT, DBT skills, family systems, and reality therapy with spirituality and meaning of life to provide a holistic approach to counseling as you meet individual's needs and goals where they are at.
My focus
I have experience treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief and loss, divorce, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
My communication style
I believe a good therapeutic relationship is important in helping clients meet their goals and make positive life changes. I am genuine, empathetic, nonjudgmental, welcoming, and will create a safe place to share your story.
My journey to mental healthcare
Twenty yrs. ago, my marriage ended in divorce, and my daughters were young at the time. It was the catalyst for my own journey of healing and breaking unhealthy patterns of relating. I wanted to be present to companion with others to recognize their strengths and worth and know there was support. So, what drives me is that how we treat one another matters and that everyone has a story...
My goals for you
I will help people clarify, envision, and obtain their life aspirations and goals by recognizing their inner strengths and worth.
My first session with you
We will most likely spend time in your therapy session getting to know each other through a free-flowing conversation. As one question will lead to the next. You will begin to make a connection with me as your therapist. You should feel safe, accepted, respected, and relatively comfortable. You will discuss what you would like to address in your treatment together and what has worked in the past. We will plan when we want to meet again, and I will thank you for trusting me to journey with you.
