Doug Hunsberger

Doug Hunsberger is a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor actively engaged in the therapeutic journeys of teens and adults. He focuses on relationships and the patterns of behavior that influence one’s connection with the self and others. Doug recognizes that a significant issue for many is the struggle to forge genuine connections, often leading to feelings of anxiety, loneliness, emptiness, and depression. He emphasizes the importance of uncovering patterns of avoidance, poor communication, feelings of unworthiness, lack of trust, and fear of vulnerability as essential steps toward healing. By challenging self-limiting beliefs and behaviors, individuals can experience lasting change, become more engaged in life, and foster healthy relationships. His approach is grounded in a trauma-informed perspective, emphasizing compassionate care and a non-judgmental environment. Doug champions the idea that events happen to us and that there is nothing inherently wrong with our being. This insight encourages movement away from shame and victimization towards greater understanding, empathy, and ownership of one’s life. With extensive training in a variety of effective therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Psychodynamic approaches, Doug has amassed significant clinical experience in mental health, addiction, behavioral challenges, and family issues, working with individuals from adolescence to late adulthood.
