Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! My name is Dr. Hunter and I'm here to help you through the toughest of times. Life can be a rollercoaster and the impact of life on our mental health can be detrimental, but you don't have to face it alone. As a licensed psychologist, I have years of experience working with clients with various backgrounds and experiences, promoting a positive quality of life. If you're ready to take that leap and reclaim your life, reach out to me for a free and confidential consultation.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapy approach focuses on the client, providing empathy, challenging unhealthy thought patterns, and improving self-care and coping skills. I prioritize understanding each individual's unique experiences and needs, aiming to create a strong therapeutic alliance. By challenging thought patterns, we work towards promoting healthier and more adaptive thinking. Additionally, I assist clients in developing self-care strategies and effective coping mechanisms to navigate life's challenges.

What you can expect from our first session

I strive to provide a space for clients to discuss thoughts and feelings openly, with an emphasis on exploring life experiences and the impact of each experience. Clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their patterns of thinking, and develop self-awareness and self-compassion. I provide therapeutic techniques and skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and enhance overall well-being. Ultimately, clients experience renewed hope and improved emotional well-being.
