Not Accepting Clients

Hello! My name is Kathryn Hughes and I’m a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern at Affirmative Counseling and Psychological Services.

Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in Gainesville, FL
Supervised by Angela Koivula, Licensed Psychologist, PY 9897 (FL)

About My Clients

I work with clients of all ages my passion is in the college, young adult and teenage populations inclusive of individual, couple, and family sessions. I have a passion for working with the LGBTQ+ community, ethically non-monogamous individuals and couples, and people within the kink scene. Overall, I work hard to foster a warm, safe, and engaged environment through my therapeutic practice.

My Background and Approach

I completed my Master’s and Specialist degrees (M.Ed., Ed.S.) in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Florida in 2020 and I enjoy helping clients navigate various issues including life transitions, relational conflict, grief and loss, identity exploration, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. I also have training in helping individuals struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and panic disorder through exposure and response prevention (ERP). I often integrate humanistic, person-centered, and systemic perspectives into my counseling sessions. I view therapy as a collaborative effort between the client and the therapist where we can both be authentic with one another. I believe that the power of the therapeutic relationship is by far the most important component that exists between a counselor and their client.
