WELCOME!
My name is Jeremy Scataglini. I am a licensed couple’s counselor in Phoenix, Arizona, and am the founder of The H.U.G Therapy Center, which stands for Historically Underrepresented Groups. I wanted to open a counseling center where all couples and individuals would feel welcomed, accepted, and supported, removing any fear of discrimination.
My approach to couple’s counseling is based on the concept that all people need human connection and attachment. When I first started working as a therapist, I tried using practical tools, activities, and other techniques that, ultimately, didn’t seem to bring lasting change to the couples I met with. As I continued to develop in my field, I was introduced to Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) which focuses on attachment needs that adults have in relationships.
I learned that the couples I worked with weren’t making long-lasting progress because they were stuck in a nasty cycle of interaction. This cycle occurs when relationship needs aren’t being communicated appropriately and, therefore, aren’t being met, resulting in conflict, withdrawal, and frustration.
Together we will use EFT to map out your unique patterns of interaction and begin to make meaningful improvements in your relationship. The things you’ve fought about a thousand times can instead be addressed with loving-kindness. You can become “unstuck” and begin to share your needs and feelings with your partner.
I’ve worked with couples and individuals from all walks of life, and seeing the changes in relationships from disconnection to newfound intimacy has been a very rewarding experience. It has also been a joy to witness individuals go from deep anxiety and shame to a place of self-acceptance and assertiveness. I am thrilled to offer a safe, bilingual therapy center for couples and individuals. You don’t have to continue to feel isolated, hurt, or hopeless. There is plenty of evidence that couple’s counseling works. So, If you’ve never visited a couple’s counselor before and want to know more, please send me an email or call me on the phone so we can chat about how I can help you.
