In his practice Hunter has seen first hand the benefits of therapy for individuals and families for a range of difficulties. These include:

Hunter has often worked in conjunction with clients’ psychiatrists to help clients reduce or eliminate medications while maintaining gains with the above concerns. While medication for mental health concerns is initially helpful, and is sometimes necessary ongoing, it should always be paired with therapy services to gain maximum effect that will continue after medication is ended.

He enjoys staying current on the technical studies in psychology, eager to transfer this insight into the art of clinical practice.
