Justin K. Hughes, Licensed Professional Counselor

Justin K. Hughes, Licensed Professional Counselor Helping break stuck patterns. CBT & Exposure Therapy Specialist in OCD/Anxiety.

My social media accounts provide education, not therapy; no emergency responses (call 911 in a true emergency). I’m passionate about working with clients who are willing to work hard on areas of life that just aren’t working. Specialized in OCD and Anxiety, through CBT and Exposure Therapy, I have years of focused training, education, experience, and positive outcomes in these deeply demanding domains. I am uniquely equipped to dig into solutions when there is great confusion about what to do. A strong framework has been developed to be a “Specialized Generalist” in addition to my main areas of focus. What this means is that I successfully work with a wide range of topics (what person only has one struggle in life?), ultimately unified by the central tenet of helping clients move through major blockages that are holding them back. Some of the most common are Anxiety , Fear, and Panic, Depression, Trauma, Relationships/Marriage, AD/HD, Personal & Spiritual Growth, and Career Counseling. With regular, ongoing assessment, your progress and goals will be tracked and followed up with to make sure your needs are being met. I believe one of the most healthy things a good practitioner can do is to know when additional or different help is needed. I will tell you quickly if I cannot be of help, and provide the best hand-picked resources- so that you can save your time, money, and energy to focus on what matters to you!

In 2012 I knew very little about treatment besides a few people I had the opportunity to work with in the general mental health settings I worked in. They were kind. Intelligent. Sensitive. And they usually were incredible people to listen to and learn from.

Instead of passing them to OCD specialists I was magnetically pulled towards finding out more how to help. And what I discovered was that there were some proven strategies and support that I had learned essentially very little about--neither in my internship or grad school. I cast no shade towards either. I had the most WONDERFUL experiences with both. I discovered that no matter where therapists went to school or where they trained, few people knew th nuances of OCD.

I knew for myself that needed to change.

By 2013 I studied and sought out expert consultation and supervision to work with OCD.

In 2014 I got married. And then in 2106 I took my first with the . There was a lot I had never been taught. But it wasn't a secret. It was actually quite available evidence , research, stories, and support for those who suffer. I didn't turn back. Most of my practice shifted to OCD and now 95% of clients have at least OCD.

Now in for the 30th / , I am more connected than ever and find such an incredible community of people entering this space. God is good.

I'm so grateful that in the Lord's kindness he's brought me to this space. The has a mission that I love: "The mission of the IOCDF is to ensure that no one affected by OCD and related disorders suffers alone. Our community provides help, healing, and hope."

Yes.

In hard times, seeing hope is crucial. Is there a God? Does he care? Finding meaning in our suffering is one of the most meaningful things we can do.

When I was interviewed by a student recently, one of the great questions they asked was something like, "What helps you stay at your best as a clinician?" One of my automatic answers was consultation and meeting our own relational needs.

Soon to be Dr. David Rogers, LPC, is a dear friend who not only married my wife and myself, but he dreams with me, supports me, holds me accountable and just loves me. I am so grateful for your David.

And the funniest story about my wedding ceremony with my beautiful wife, Emily?? It was outside with farm animals in the distance. It was David's first wedding to officiate and he forgot to tell people to be seated. A donkey brayed in the distance, everyone laughed, and it reminded him to say "you may be seated." Fear not if you don't do everything perfectly. God can use anything. Even an ass. 🫏😭🙏🏻💯💪🏻
