You don’t have to keep feeling stuck in the same painful patterns.
Hi, I’m Jeremy Scataglini, a licensed couples therapist and the founder of The H.U.G. Therapy Center in Phoenix, Arizona. I created this space to be a haven for people from all walks of life, especially those who’ve felt unseen, misunderstood, or left out of traditional therapy settings. H.U.G. stands for Historically Underrepresented Groups, and at its core, it’s about safety, inclusion, and the kind of connection that helps people heal.​​
Real change doesn’t come from quick tips. It comes from understanding the heart of the cycle.
When I first started working as a therapist, I leaned on tools and strategies I thought would help couples communicate better. But many of those “practical solutions” didn’t stick, because they didn’t go deep enough. ​​
Once I discovered Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), everything shifted. EFT doesn’t just teach couples how to talk. It helps them understand why they react the way they do and how to reach each other again. It’s rooted in attachment science and focuses on identifying the needs, fears, and longings that drive your interactions...especially the painful ones.

The couples I work best with are ready to explore beneath the surface.
I specialize in working with committed couples who feel disconnected. You may find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, drifting apart, or feeling misunderstood. Maybe you’ve tried to “fix” things, but nothing has changed the deeper pattern.
You don’t have to be perfect. Just open to slowing down, being curious, and exploring the emotional layers that are often hard to access alone. This isn’t quick-fix work, but it’s the kind that leads to lasting change. The goal is deeper intimacy, greater emotional safety, and a relationship that feels secure again.
I’m probably not the right fit if you’re in a major crisis, yelling in sessions, or hoping for immediate results. But if you’re both ready to look inward and repair the cycle that keeps pulling you apart, we can do meaningful work together.
A safe space for both couples and individuals.
Alongside couples therapy, I also work with individuals navigating anxiety, shame, trauma, or relationship wounds. Many of our struggles trace back to early attachment experiences, and therapy can be a powerful place to untangle those roots and build something new.
​
Whether you’re trying to reconnect with your partner or with yourself, you deserve a space that feels steady, warm, and attuned to your emotional world.
want to connect?
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can talk about what’s going on and see if it feels like a good fit. No pressure; it's just a chance to ask questions, get a feel for the process, and take that first step if you're ready.
You don’t have to stay stuck. Healing starts with connection.
