Shauna Hughes, LMHC
Providing Individual EMDR Therapy for Greater Orlando & Winter Park, Florida
EMDR transformed my own life, and I dedicated myself to helping others find that same healing.
The anxiety, the racing thoughts, and that overwhelming sense of dread—it doesn't have to be like that.
Your daily life can be filled with calm, confidence, and real relief. I became a therapist to help people move beyond their trauma so they're no longer haunted by memories and emotions that suddenly take over.
As an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist, I specialize in trauma, anxiety, narcissistic abuse recovery, toxic relationships, and high-conflict divorce. I also work with those transitioning out of high-control religious environments.
I love witnessing clients gradually move towards calm and confidence, discovering a level of healing they didn't believe they could achieve.
My Therapeutic Approach
EMDRIA Certification
I'm EMDRIA-certified in EMDR—the gold standard for trauma therapy. Whether you recognize your trauma or not, EMDR is the most powerful way to move past it.
Blank Slate Approach
I create a judgment-free space where your lifestyle, politics, religion, or wealth never influence our work. We start with a blank slate—only your healing matters.
Results Focused
I measure our progress and make adjustments as needed until we reach your goals. No open-ended therapy—we work together with clear objectives.
Specialized Trauma & Relationship Expertise
Deep expertise in narcissistic abuse recovery, high-conflict divorce, toxic relationships, and transitions from high-control environments. I understand complex dynamics that others may miss.
Privacy & Discretion
High-end office location with private entrance options and easy I-4 access. I specialize in working with professionals, executives, and individuals who require the utmost confidentiality.
Intuitive & Client-Centered
I use my intuition to guide our work together, helping you discover what you need rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all approach. Every client's journey is unique, and I honor that.
