Pierre Hooten

My communication style

I create an environment where you can actually be yourself, speak freely, and not feel like you’re being analyzed under a microscope. Clients often tell me that talking to me feels like having a conversation with someone who truly gets it—someone who listens, challenges when needed, but always with care and support.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’ve always been drawn to helping people navigate life’s hardest moments—especially when they feel like no one else truly understands what they’re going through. My work in hospice, child welfare, and adult services showed me firsthand how deeply people struggle with grief, life transitions, and feeling unheard in their experiences.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative and realistic approach to goal setting—meaning we’ll work together to figure out what actually matters to you and what changes will make the biggest impact in your life. I don’t believe in setting vague or overwhelming goals that feel impossible to reach.

Our first session

In our first session, my main goal is to get to know you, understand what’s bringing you to therapy, and create a space where you feel comfortable opening up. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, your experiences, and what you’d like to get out of therapy.
