Benjamin Hoover, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
I care about creating a safe and genuine connection for you to share your experiences and talk about the things that have been burdening you. More often than not, the "symptoms" that get in the way of enjoying ourselves and our relationships are the outcome of not listening to our emotions and instincts. Therefore, my focus is on helping you connect to this part of yourself to find peace, enjoyment, and freedom. My approach is relationally and emotionally focused. In individual work, I bring attention to the connection between us and center on the emotional part of you to help guide your healing, gain clarity, and find direction that could improve your life. In couples work, I focus on the emotional connection between you and your partner. Together, we will address the conflicts interfering with your relationship and find new ways to communicate less defensively and more genuinely, helping you break free from frustrating patterns. I love working with people who feel lost, stuck, hopeless, or helpless but are hungry and ready for change. Together, we will explore conflicts, problems, and pain points to learn from them and help you connect to what you truly want, need, and desire in life. My communication style is relational and warm. I carefully listen to the heart of what you share. I am interactive, honest, supportive, and collaborative. We will work together, and I will offer insightful feedback to help you find yourself and your way again. My journey to mental healthcare was influenced by several things, beginning with my own personal therapy experience as a teenager. The safety and care I received from my first therapist inspired me to provide the same for others. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Seminary, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support individuals and couples on their healing journeys.
