Ready to find therapy that eases symptoms quickly? Dr. Athena Hubbard is a licensed psychologist specializing in psychological assessment, trauma treatment, depression, anxiety, and relational dynamics and concerns.

I have been a therapist for 10 years working primarily with school aged children. I have continued to have a few adults throughout that time as well. I am passionate about helping and getting you to feel like your best self. It is a journey and I cannot wait to help!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adults dealing with real-life mental health—PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, and the in-between that doesn’t always fit neatly into a box.

I’ve worked in hospitals, treatment centers, and correctional settings, which means I’ve seen a lot—and I’m not easily surprised. You don’t have to clean your story up for me. You don’t have to have the “right words.” Just show up as you are.

I don’t do the whole “sit down and I’ll tell you what to do” thing. That’s not how this works. I’ll break things down, give you real options, explain what’s actually happening in your brain (without making it feel like a lecture), and then we decide together what makes sense. You’re not losing control here—you’re getting it back.

Some people come in feeling stuck. Some feel all over the place. Some are just tired of not feeling like themselves. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll figure it out step by step and get you moving in a direction that actually feels better—not just on paper, but in your day-to-day life.

No judgment. No pressure to be perfect. Just real conversations, real strategy, and a plan that fits you.

I support people in navigating anxieties and past and current traumas, chronic health diagnoses, finding wellness, and deepening connection and joy. I have extensive experience working with individuals whose lives are impacted by their own and others drug dependency, use, and abuse and working with people who have chronic or lifelong medical conditions such as HIV, Alzheimer’s or who are supporting others with such diagnoses.
