Thasja Hoffman, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Thasja!

I am a trauma-focused therapist. I still feel very passionate about what I do.

My focus

I understand depression, anxiety, and complex trauma. I am very comfortable working with attachment needs, believing that each person has a need for early attachment repair.

My approach

My main approach to therapy is to slow your experience down and help you notice what you are experiencing through Meta-awareness modalities and Mindfulness. I also find Somatic and EMDR approaches very helpful in processing information. My foundation in how I work comes from Humanistic/Existential Psychology.

My communication style

A main goal of mine is to provide a safe environment for you. I do like to focus on our inner child, so my room is inner child-friendly.

My journey to mental healthcare

I think, like many therapists, I have had my own journey of healing to do.

My goals for you

I listen to what I hear you would like to address, i.e., what feels stuck, what is bothering you day to day, what thoughts are interfering with your ability to be present. We explore what is needed and come up with a plan.

Our first session

A session can begin in many ways. I would like to have our first session be a gathering of information session and an exploration of what you are hoping to get out of therapy.
