Dr. Hughes’ Treatment Philosophy
Successful treatment is dependent on finding a provider with a treatment philosophy that resonates with you and your goals. There are key principles that we follow to help patients succeed:
Young patients are uniquely positioned to make dramatic changes, changes that can completely turn the trajectory of their lives. Providing young people with tools and resources to make these changes is a powerful form of preventative medicine that can stop problematic behaviors, prevent the development of additional mental health concerns, and promote mental wellbeing and physical health.
Mental health concerns can carry a significant stigma, a problem that keeps many patients from seeking the treatments they need. Dr. Hughes believes that seeking treatment is a healthy and beneficial decision, one that should be honored. He helps his patients to overcome the stigma of mental illness and feel confident in who they are and are striving to become.
The goal is to get each patient to a place where they can thrive on their own. However, patients are welcomed to continue treatment long term at NEO Psych.
Dr. Hughes helps his patients develop new tools, but the patients are the ones that will use these tools to create a meaningful life. We want each patient to accept and love who they are, with the ability make changes if that is what is desired.
