Getting to know Kristine Hughes
My name is Kristine Hughes, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California. I hold an MEd in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Sacramento. I enjoy treating individual adults and teens experiencing mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and panic attacks, substance abuse and addiction, self-harm behaviors and suicidal ideation, stress, relationship problems, abuse, and trauma.
My approach
My therapeutic approach utilizes techniques from Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The most foundational and important therapeutic element, however, is the safe, trusting relationship built with each client.
My focus
My greatest successes have been in treating individuals experiencing mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and panic attacks, substance abuse and addiction, self-harm and suicidal ideation, stress, relationship problems, abuse, and trauma.
My communication style
I strive to provide a warm, empathetic, emotionally safe, and supportive environment during therapy sessions. My communication style is friendly and casual, with frequent use of humor during our time together. Life is serious enough... therapy doesn't always have to be!
My journey to mental healthcare
My own lived experience with having a mental health disorder fueled my passion to help myself initially, and now I am driven to pay it forward. I strongly believe the Buddhist quote ?Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional? is true and want to help others learn to live without the suffering caused by many mental health issues. Let's get started on the journey today!
My goals for you
Goal setting is a collaborative process-you are the expert on your life, and I am here to help guide the journey to healing and happiness. You are always in control of what you want to work on or talk about in therapy.
