Hello! My name is Hunter. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and and I primarily utilize EMDR therapy to help my clients. Life is hard. It can be filled with transitions, challenges, anxieties, grief, depression, a past that just doesn't seem to leave you alone - just to name a few. These things can cause us to live a life that is inauthentic, and make decisions that aren't in alignment with the values and hopes that we have. As a therapist, I see it as my role to come alongside you and be with you as you navigate life's challenges, with the goal of living an authentic, fulfilling life of joy. I see clients all over Ohio and California!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will start with brief introductions, go over important information about what you can expect in therapy, and then we will dive into the specific challenges you're experiencing and what you're wanting out of the therapy experience. This will give us a path forward as we walk together through the challenges you're facing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of the best compliments I've ever received was from a young man who told me that "I feel like I can just leave my baggage here with you and I don't need to carry it with me anymore. You don't judge me for what I've done." My clients have told me that I am open, a great listener, treat them like the humans they are rather than the diagnoses that they've been labeled with, and that they don't feel judged by me even if everyone around them is. I recognize that this world is a complicated place and I firmly believe that we genuinely try to do the best we can with what we have. That philosophy guides me as a therapist because I am always open to you and your experience, without judgment.
