Emily Hugo, PsyD
Clinical Psychologist
CA23245
650.387.4015


"I customize the therapeutic process to ensure progress is goal-driven and effective.  I encourage value-congruent action, which oftentimes sparks increased energy and greater livelihood.  I believe that as human beings, we are all strong and also all vulnerable, working to realize our own capacity and sense of vitality.  We each walk our own path and desire to do this with authenticity.  This is the process that propels us to StandTall in our own lives."
