Chris Hague has always believed in the healing power of human connection. He believes that change happens when we have someone that believes in us. He sees clients as courageous and that they seek out a new environment in therapy so that they can grow, mature, and discover themselves. He works through a person-centered and trauma-informed lens, which guides him in connecting with the client’s concerns while providing target opportunities for change.
