Center for Human Understanding and Growth

Thought this might be helpful for some of you.....

Here is the next episode in my Santa Maria Community TV series. I discuss Motivational Interviewing with Larisa Traga, LCSW, a certified Motivational Therapist. You can see all the shows on YouTube at: Ole's Therapy Corner. Hope you find this informative. Comments are welcome! BTW, we did this through Zoom. If you have a passion and would like to do a show with me, let me know: [email protected]. Take care and stay safe!

Here is another episode of our TV show. In this we explore Gestalt psychotherapy with Ken Hutchinson, Ph.D.

Here is the second part of the two part episode on "Sex Offenders". Again, viewer discretion is advised as it may be triggering for some people to watch.

In my continuing commitment to the community and my clients, here is the 7th episode of my community television show. I need to warn you that in this 1st of a two part series, we discuss sex offenders, This may be upsetting to some people and triggering to those who have been victimized. View at your own discretion.

My apologies! I have been very busy! C.H.U.G. is being re-purposed to be more educational/training oriented - still will do counseling! Here is the latest installment of my local TV show. You can see all 6 episodes on YouTube at: Ole's Therapy Corner Have a great day!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-lbFV45zx4

Here is our third installment. We focus on EMDR in this episode. EMDR is a very effective tool for working with mental and emotional trauma.

Here's my second installment for the TV show. We are, unfortunately, still waiting for the servers to be repaired/replaced - the City of Santa Maria is working on it! In the mean time, I hope you enjoy the YouTube posting. Feel free to subscribe so you get future viewings. Also, feel free to spread the word. This is being done for "everyone", to help people. Thanks!!!

Such excitement!!! This is my new show on Comcast Channel 25 via Santa Maria Community Television (Probably not available in areas outside of Santa Maria). You can watch it on YouTube and please, "Like" it and "Subscribe". Thank you so much for your support!

After a long and needed absence, C.H.U.G. is gearing up again. We have a new direction now: we are focusing on Mental Health Education, Community Consultations, Wholistic approaches, and working with "marginalized" individuals. We truly want to embrace the name and what it stands for: Center for Human Understanding and Growth. We hope to start doing podcasts in the near future - stay tuned!!!
