Dwight Hughes, D.Min., LMFT | Dwight Hughes holds a Doctor of Ministry in Counseling from Wesley Theological Seminary and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Belmont University. Dwight practices therapy in Texas, where he takes great delight in guiding clients, especially religious and professional leaders, to new levels of potential despite the challenges, stressors, or traumas they might be experiencing.
