Holly M. Hooton, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Holly M.!

I help people work through emotional pain, relationship challenges, and feelings of distress. I understand firsthand that seeking treatment can feel scary, and that feeling better takes time as you work through the counseling process.

My focus

I work with adolescents and adults.

My approach

The backbone of my practice is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I also utilize methods from the post-modern school of thought. You are the expert on yourself, and I act as a coach to help guide you along your path.

My communication style

My style is respectful and client-centered.

My journey to mental healthcare

My desire to become a therapist developed over time as I gained more insight into my own life. A failed marriage landed me in therapy, where I was able to deal with my anger and emotional pain. After some years of therapy, I gained a new lease on life.

My goals for you

Within you are the answers you seek, and I act as a coach to help guide you along your path. Counseling often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. What you get out of therapy is what effort you put into it.
