Getting to know Dr. Ginger Hulst

I utilize various psychotherapy modalities focusing on the here and now, to build resilience and reduce fear of stigma. Fear can hinder you from understanding yourself and how your past has helped shape who you are today. My goal is for my clients to feel empowered to move beyond life's challenges and experience higher life satisfaction. Medication management coupled with psychotherapy often yields the best outcomes. Areas of expertise include ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, substance misuse, chronic stress and adjustment disorder, and chronic pain syndrome.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have helped people from all walks of life including community-based settings and private practice. I provide a safe place to express yourself and heal. I am licensed in CA and HI providing both in-person care and telehealth visits and am contracted with most PPOs, TriCare, Triwest, Medicare, Optum, Evernorth, and HMSA coming soon.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I look forward to partnering with you as you discover what matters most to you, and unlock things that hold you back from living your best life. Give me a call or send me a message. I look foward to hearing from you.
