I am a professional counselor licensed in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I have over 5 years of experience providing counseling to clients who struggle with substance use, depression, grief and loss, suicidal thoughts, anger management and mental health disorders. My knowledge base includes several years of training in trauma-informed care, crisis management, and mental health first-aid.
My most commonly used therapy techniques include CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Person-Centered approaches. At my core, I am a teacher, motivator, and relator. My approach to counseling is to honor, respect, and serve my clients by maintaining an environment that makes them feel heard, and valued . I believe that confronting our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors can be challenging. My philosophy is that self-improvement is DIFFICULT BUT DOABLE!
I applaud for starting your journey toward meeting the BEST YOU! If you choose to journey with me, I look forward to serving you!

I feel that anyone who's been through the mental health system has had some interesting experiences to say the least with different therapists. Darin Hudson, however, gave me a new light of reassurance for being able to receive the proper treatment with a therapist who actually took the time to understand what I felt my needs were and has opened helped enlighten my mind with the way we discuss what I've been through and/or am going through.

Darin takes it all in and then provides these take home “pearls of wisdom” that help guide you through. He listens to your story but knows how to dive deeper to get a sense of the “whole picture” and how you can work together to learn from your experiences , easily identify similar people/personalities in the future and better approach a similar situation next time.
