Whitney Hughes and Blue Mind Mental Health, LLC love helping and connecting with people. Stressed out, anxious, angry, lack of communication, depressed, over-scheduled, and overwhelmed are daily themes in my practice and the people I work with. Our lives ebb and flow and at times having a professional outside your closest circle to support you while you navigate can be extremely helpful. I am currently also accepting mental health and emotional wellness coaching clients. I also infuse the power of breathwork into our work together when deemed appropriate.

I guide clients to explore and express experiences and feelings that are subconsciously defining the self.

In the adult client, I especially enjoy witnessing one's ability to reject ineffective patterns of thinking in order to reach and sustain personal growth. Facing what we find to recognize either by internal or external forces that needs correction, is the first step in the process of effecting change. In adolescents, a shift to effect change can be a bit more challenging but no fault of theirs. Helping clients to navigate the life courses; expected and unexpected can be an exciting process to experience.

Trauma can be defined as our emotional and psychological response to a distressing event. It can be difficult to resolve traumatic memories when the event and emotional response validate a negative core belief we hold about ourselves. I am an EMDR trained therapist and I believe strongly in the efficacy of EMDR in resolving trauma and negative core beliefs. I also use existential philosophy to inform my practice, meaning I focus on self-awareness, relationships, personal power, free will, and self-determined choices.

I believe in life, and in the power of each one of us to grow and build a life worth living. Sometimes even having hope is hard, and life is so complex, with so many paths to choose from, that knowing even the next step seems impossible.... or it seems like there are no pathways at all, and each step is blocked. Take a bold step and explore the possibilities of an empowered life.

I love to surround myself with nature through hiking with my sweet dog Nala, skiing, and gardening. I practice yoga, am a Certified Reiki Master Teacher, and believe in the energy and light within us all.
