Ron Huxley, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

From the desk of Ron Huxley… “Hello and welcome to my practice. I have a heart is to see families healed using modern neuroscience technique along with traditional mental health in a compassionate and practical manner. My focus is on trauma and family systems issues for children and adults. My practice is both online and in-person. > If you schedule on a Tuesday/Wednesday, you have the option of coming in person, to my office in San Luis Obispo. > Telehealth is available any time, Monday through Thursday. Monday and Thursday is just Telehealth via video or phone. I also provide trauma-informed therapy for organizations. I have worked with social service agencies, charter schools, churches, coalitions, and private industry sharing trauma-sensitive practices to increase skills and self-care principles. Let me share some of my thoughts on healing… I believe in taking a strength-based approach that builds on solutions. I believes that the “person is not the problem, the problem is the problem,” and we can create strategies that fit each family situation in the shortest time necessary. I believe in taking a faith-based approach to problems for families that desire inner healing and biblical counsel. When dealing with trauma, I focus on three healing strategies: 1. Calm down the reactive brain and body. 2. Increase the competencies and capacity. 3. Deepen connections with healthy people. I utilize traditional mental health and evidence-based practices, like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping). I incorporates the latest neuroscience and attachment theory research to address C-PTSD (Complex-Posttraumatic Stress Disorder), anxiety disorders, developmental trauma, depression, and relationship challenges and more. I also love working with faith-based organizations and churches, providing spiritual direction and pastoral counseling. Thank you for allowing me to work with you!” Ron Huxley, LMFT (MFT35134) NEWSLETTER: TraumaChampions.Substack.com BLOG: Ron-Huxley.com
