Often times people come to counseling because of other people and relationships. Anxiety and depression usually are what is felt from destabilized relational circumstances. People come to counseling to process what has happened in their life or maybe what was done to them. People want emotional healing.

You are the authority on how you describe yourself and your experience; not me. Those who find the most success in our work together seek therapy that has a conversational tone rather than feeling like an evaluation. Whether looking for support through life's challenges or addressing harmful experiences, they are ready to establish a path forward despite existing in a society that prioritizes individualism and profit. As a non-pathologizing provider, diagnoses will only be used when required and with your permission.

Hi, I’m Sarah Hughes. I know what it’s like to struggle with mental health because I’ve been there myself. It can feel like a tight knot that gets tighter the more you try to unravel it. It’s having a critical voice inside you that always seems to have the answers, even when it’s not helpful. Stepping outside your comfort zone can overwhelm both your mind and body. You might feel like you’re never quite meeting expectations—simultaneously too much and not enough. It’s navigating a world that often misunderstands or doesn’t accommodate your unique strengths and challenges.

Dr. Joe exclusively provides psychological testing, at which he has 20+ yrs experience. Testing is a great way to answer questions about what’s going on with a person to guide treatment and document eligibility for services and funding, as well as to demystify mental processes that seem abstract and hard to understand. Testing can clarify diagnoses, give a picture of one’s attentional and emotional state, determine learning and developmental levels, and figure out if an ongoing form of treatment is working. Dr. Joe believes mental health services should be fun and human whenever possible! Special needs can often be accommodated.

Identities and the stories they hold are a vital part of the human experience. As a biracial and queer therapist, I believe in the transformative power of telling your story, using creativity as a catalyst for change and insightful guidance. As the seasons and weather change, folks experience stress related to societal pressures, discrimination, the effects of traumas, and life transitions. Knowing where to start can be difficult, and feel overwhelming. With intentionality, creativity, and trauma-informed practices, therapy can help re-establish routine and rhythm, and expand a sense of safety and vitality.

Do you struggle with building and keeping relationships, staying in the moment, knowing how to stay calm or regulate your emotions, do you get so stressed out, that you say or do things you regret after the fact, do you feel so anxious that it keeps you from doing the things you love doing like being with friends or going to places you love? Do you feel so down in the dumps that you struggle with seemingly basic functions like getting out of bed, showering, or even eating? If so, you might benefit from starting a journey with Eye of A Tiger Therapy.

I see couples, individuals, and families. I have tremendous faith in each person's ability to heal given proper opportunity and guidance. I practice in a small town and see all kinds of people with a range of challenges. I am lucky to have done my initial years of practice in a large community mental health setting which exposed me to a wide variety of patients with the full range of difficulties. Offering my support to people as they struggle with deeply personal issues is its own reward and I find this work very satisfying.

I'm naturally interested in how people experience their lives and how they achieve self fulfilment and secure happy family and personal relationships. What I do is help people realize their goals by finding out what they want and need out of life, and then work with them to solve the parts of their lives that cause them frustration or pain. My approach helps individuals and couples problem solve and identify what is blocking them from creating a great relationship or what is stopping them from moving on with their lives after a crisis, loss or divorce.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
