Bio
Dr. Nugent is a psychiatrist who specializes in helping patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders.
He is particularly interested in the effects of traumatic experiences, especially in childhood, on people’s current struggles. He believes that leaving this aspect unaddressed will almost certainly prevent full recovery from psychic suffering and achieving a life that is fulfilling and meaningful.
Dr. Nugent believes each person’s story is unique and therefore, despite mental illnesses having certain names, each person experiences them differently and should be treated with this in mind.
As a physician, he strives to be collaborative, empowering his patients to shape their treatment with his advice, as this leads to more lasting recovery and creates a sense of self-efficacy and resiliency.
