About
In general, psychological and emotional wounds and life stressors occur through relationships with self, others, and the environment and also may be related to hereditary or physiological factors. Some of these stressors may affect your thoughts, emotions, behavior, attitudes, values, self-image, and worldview that are currently affecting your sense of well-being. However, regardless of the origins of psychological and emotional stressors, psychotherapy work is designed to help you seek relief from these stressors. The goal of psychotherapy work is to help you feel and function better, and to help transform negative experiences into positive and favorable solutions. Ideally, psychotherapy work helps alleviate hopelessness, distress, and maladaptive coping behaviors, and assists in a healing or restorative process to rekindle hope, enhance mastery in life skills, heighten self-esteem, improve mood, and reduce stress. Length of treatment can be short-term or long-term depending on what you need. However, mutual participation between psychotherapist and you are important in order to create meaningful and individualized treatment.
You know therapy is working when you feel less worried, afraid or anxious; problems are being resolved; relationships are improving or you’re feeling better. You have the right to end therapy at any time. It is best to meet at least once before stopping therapy.

Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
We at the Nugent family counseling center believe that faith is one of the biggest indicator of success for individuals facing difficulties. We feel that incorporating faith into the healing arts is truly one of the best ways to support our clientele get what they need and what they are looking for.
