Hello! My name is Robert Hougen Jr., and I am an associate therapist who works with clients of all backgrounds and ages including children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate through the stages and challenges of life. I aim to work collaboratively with clients in a supportive and non-judgmental environment so they feel comfortable to explore their identity, needs, and goals. My goal is to help clients with any goals they wish to accomplish and support them as they learn more about themselves, heal their trauma, and grow as a person.I offer individual therapy in a safe space for clients to explore themselves and the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that affect them. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship conflicts, schizophrenia, and LGBTQIA+ clients. As both a therapist and client, I believe that therapy is a life-saving treatment for people who feel the need to talk to someone or feel stuck, lost, or defeated. My therapeutic approach is genuine, empathetic, and person-centered as well as individualized for each client. In my practice, I utilize evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, etc. based on the client's needs.Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous decision. By taking this first step, you start the change that you wish to see by seeking help and showing up for yourself. Therapy creates opportunities for healing, growth, and self-discovery. It can be intimidating to start therapy, but you don't have to do it alone. I'm here to help you. If you are interested in starting this journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth, please feel free to reach out.
