Hebron, CT 06248 (Online Only)
Hunter treats substance use disorders, anxiety, and depression using Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
When you’re suffering from anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns it can be difficult to get out of bed, let alone build the life of your dreams. To others, you may appear lazy, or without motivation when in truth you have goals and dreams, but your mental health keeps you from reaching for them. You want to improve your mental health so you can get out of this rut and enjoy the life you’re meant to live.

As a behavioral therapist with training in DBT and CBT, I focus on cognitive distortions and maladaptive behaviors that damage relationships and sabotage personal and professional goals.
The challenges facing men and women today are very different than they have been in the past. Our roles have changed drastically over the past several decades: in the home, in the workplace and in society at large. Many of us struggle to balance our increasing career demands with the emotional needs of our families and friends. I draw from my experience as a Wall Street executive and extensive clinical training, to help my clients identify important coping strategies which enable them to enjoy success in the business world, and improve their relationships with spouses, children and friends.

I've specialized in delivering evidence-based interventions like MATCH, EMDR, ARC, DBT, CBT, MI, psycho-education, crisis management, and pre and postnatal mental health care and integrating spiritual and holistic techniques to aid in multidimensional healing.
The majority of clients I’ve serve are often facing significant life challenges or transitions and are seeking guidance and support to overcome them. They may have experienced trauma, divorce, parenting, work-related stressors, and unhealthy family dynamics that have impacted their ability to be present and gain the momentum to see how they can possibly make it to the other side of these obstacles.

I am trained In DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, self-compassion, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), which are all evidence-based treatments with broad effectiveness.
I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in treating addictions, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, body image issues and difficulties with emotion regulation. I teach skills that increase life satisfaction, happiness, self-confidence, curiosity and gratitude. When life doesn't meet our expectations or painful situations occur, many people become self-critical and fight against emotions such as anger, loneliness, fear or shame. It is this lack of acceptance that increases suffering. Mindfulness and self-compassion involve responding with kindness to our own pain, thereby reducing suffering.
