Professionalism, experience, and education were very important to me when choosing a therapist. So choosing a Clinical Psychologist was imperative. Katherine Hughes PhD helped me effectively cope with several difficult life crises. She has that rare combination of professionalism, warmth, empathy, compassion and wisdom. Dr. Hughes was able to connect with my husband and me in a way that allowed both of us to feel understood and supported without feeling judged. She is gifted in making a connection with people and guiding them through important changes in their lives. She is a very good listener but can also be direct when needed. Experience counts and with 30+ years of helping people, Dr. Hughes shines above other therapists. I highly recommend her to anyone considering couples or individual therapy.
