Stanton Hugger

My communication style

My communication style is attentive, calm, curious, open, humble, direct, and non-judgmental. I want people to feel comfortable sharing personal things because if we're not being open and honest, what are we even doing here? Sometimes using a bit of humor together can make discussing hard topics easier.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've been curious about life, meaning, and how we create our realities since long before entering this field. I remained passionate about how people think and become who they are. Now I am passionate about helping others figure out their own reality and improve their human experiences.

My goals for you

Most people reach out because they have an idea of what is not working or what they need help with. Together we define, clarify, and prioritize treatment goals, including how we will measure progress and how medications are used. Goals usually evolve over time, and I support my clients in revising them.

Our first session

The first session is often the longest and most important. Expect us to cover a lot of ground. Most clients tell me they are surprised by the depth and breadth of our meeting because they have never had a provider spend as much time and ask as many questions as I do. The more we work together, the clearer the painting becomes.
