My journey to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about human relationships and a desire to help others navigate life’s challenges. Early on, I was drawn to the complexities of emotional connections and how they shape our well-being. This led me to pursue formal education in psychology and counseling, where I developed a passion for working with individuals, couples, and families. Over the years, I gained experience in various therapeutic settings, refining my skills and understanding of the unique struggles people face, particularly in relationships, intimacy, and personal growth.

I have experience in treating a range of mental health concerns, from Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorders, to Bipolar and Major Depressive Disorders, as well as anxiety disorders including PTSD and OCD. I believe that participating in therapy can be a uniquely beneficial process towards improving overall health and wellness. Whether it's healing from past traumas, adjusting to changes in life, implementing new ways of thinking and feeling, or working to define our sense of self and value system, therapy can be an invaluable support along the way. I am currently offering telehealth appointments for individuals and couples. Integrating techniques from cognitive therapies with the unstructured components of narrative therapy offers many benefits. This allows for the opportunity to share and process your story in your way, while taking time to notice and reflect on your thoughts and feelings along the way. My approach can be helpful in many ways, including processing past traumas, managing and improving depression, anger, and anxiety, addressing self-judgement and guilt, and identifying ruminative and false thoughts. If any of this sounds like it will be helpful to you, please reach out to me and schedule a phone consultation or initial appointment.

Hey there, I'm Veronika Hoover, LCSW. The foundation of my practice is around getting our mind and our spirit back into our heart and our body and going from there. One of my prior clients told me, "Thank you for walking with me in the dark, and not being afraid of what we will find." Shining a light where darkness once was is a hard thing to do, but when done in a safe place and with support, my hope is that you learn that you are truly worthy of shining brightly and being seen exactly how you are (and falling in love with yourself). My question is: what stops us from doing that?

My values as a therapist include openness, non-judgment, empathy, cultural humility, strength based, and unconditional positive regard. My approach is integrative and centers the needs of my clients; I utilize active interventions involving cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused-therapy, motivational interviewing, grief and loss, to name a few.
