Megan Hoff, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Megan!

I take a compassionate and client-centered approach to counseling. I have extensive experience working with youth, adults, and families from various cultures and addressing diverse needs.

My focus

I have a strong background in community mental health, working alongside youth and families. I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, school and work stress, family conflict, self-esteem, and relational challenges, but am open to addressing a wide range of topics in therapy.

My approach

I believe therapy should be collaborative and that the client is the expert on their life. My role is to provide a non-judgmental space for support. I take a trauma-informed approach and use tools including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients reach their goals.

My communication style

I am calm and welcoming and strive to create a supportive holding space. I recognize how challenging it is for someone to share their most intimate thoughts and feelings and prioritize helping clients feel safe and working at their own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was attracted to being a therapist at an early age after attending counseling, but explored other interests and careers. During college, a psychology course reignited my interest. Learning about psychology and returning to therapy as a young adult helped me understand my own experiences, and I wanted to share that with others.

My goals for you

Goals are approached collaboratively with the client and are scaled to the client's wants, needs, and abilities so that they can be successful.

Our first session

Clients should expect to spend some time sharing about themselves, what brings them into therapy, and what they hope to get out of the time together. The client decides what their comfort level in sharing is.
