Licensed Professional Counselor
Hello, my name is Justin Kaughman, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Armstrong Family Counseling.
I’ve had a desire to help people since I was an adolescent looking for purpose. I found my passion in working alongside individuals to improve their mental health and live happier lives. I obtained my Masters of Arts in Counseling with an emphasis in mental health counseling at MidAmerica Nazarene University. I initially gained experience working with people in crisis management through my time at a mental health hospital as a technician. Throughout my graduate program I worked alongside young adults in undergraduate school dealing with a wide variety of mental health difficulties.
In therapy I focus on client centered work using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I use these tools to help my clients and I better understand their troubles and how to improve the clients’ circumstances. Using these tools, the client learns the importance of everyday thoughts and how they can affect how the client thinks, feels, and behaves. With that base knowledge we then learn to change those thought patterns into healthier adaptive ones. I specialize in working with clients dealing with depression and anxiety. I work alongside clients from adolescence to adulthood.
