Deanna Hudgins

Hi there, I'm Deanna!

Like many, I chose to shift careers later in life - call it a "third act" - to a professional path in mental health. As a result, I've found that my previous careers in both the arts and physical fitness have cultivated my personal approach to therapy.

My focus

Often, we know what we want out of life, but we find that things can get in the way - including "big" emotions, impulses, unhelpful thoughts, and behaviors that result.

My approach

I am trained extensively in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and strive to blend this and other evidence-based practices with creativity, openness, and respect for each person's experience.
