Hope Koskey, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Hope!

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, parental stress, chronic conditions, and grief. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you live according to your values.

My focus

I work, mostly with adults who are struggling with mood disorders, chronic health conditions, the strains of capitalism, and parental stress. I work to help clients incorporate their values into how they are living their lives on a daily basis.

My approach

Some modalities in my tool belt include EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. I’m also a big fan of taking a look at how one’s lifestyle habits; satisfying social connectedness, balanced eating, movement, rest, play, art, and nature can impact wellness.

My communication style

My communication style, as Carl Rogers highlights, is one of kindness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I see each client as having skills, wisdom, and valuable expertise. Every client is a bit different so regular check-ins on the therapeutic process itself, are part of my practice as well.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm a natural empath who genuinely enjoys learning about others and working in partnership to promote growth and healing. I consider it an honor that people share their struggles with me and trust in the process toward balance and wellness.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process. We'll work together to determine priorities and focus on what's most important to you.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll gather background information, explore your goals, discuss expectations and structure, complete an assessment, and begin building trust and rapport.
