Getting to know Carolyn Hoffmann
I specialize in working with individuals of all ages who have experienced relationship trauma. I also have a passion for supporting adults and couples who feel stuck or overwhelmed by daily responsibilities and life transitions. I’m a true believer in the therapeutic power of dialogue. Life can often be complex and messy, but with a supportive environment to talk things through, it can feel much easier to tackle. I strive to provide an inclusive, empathic, and non-judgmental space to help you manage your emotions and stressors as we work to nurture your personal relationships.
I use a balance of listening and open-ended questions to truly understand your life experiences. My approach prioritizes connection and reasonable expectations as we identify together what sustainable change means for you. I also offer burnout coaching to provide tangible strategies for managing both stress and your workload.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and a Bachelor’s degree from The Pennsylvania State University. My unique skill set allows me to understand where you are coming from and to help you clearly define where you want to go in the future. I would be honored to sit alongside you through this journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My specialties are trauma (specifically intimate partner violence and sexual violence), anxiety, depression, life stressors, and burnout. I value setting clear and attainable goals so we can move towards growth and awareness in a way that is meaningful for you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I like to work with clients weekly for the first 8 weeks to ensure we build a solid foundation for our work together.

More information on payments and coverage
We are out of network with all insurances. While we understand many clients are looking to use their health insurance, we have made the very intentional decision to move away from managed care in order to protect and respect the privacy and autonomy of vulnerable populations we serve. Health insurance often creates unnecessary barriers to care for clients and perpetuates abusive and unsustainable burdens on clinicians. For people who have experienced harm from systems that were supposed to help, we believe this is the first step towards allowing you to have access to affirming and supportive care.
Because we do not participate with insurance, Out of the Margins utilizes an equitable price model that is designed to make individual therapy as financially accessible as possible (please note that couples and group therapy are not part of this model). We do this for the purposes of reducing barriers to mental health care, intentionally redistributing financial wealth and privilege, and empowering our community to build and nurture healing spaces of affirmation and belonging.
With this model, Out of the Margins asks you to use the chart below as a self assessment tool to help you select a payment bracket that most closely aligns with your current financial situation.This system also works best when clients share with their therapists if there are changes in their financial picture that impact the original fee they have chosen. As such, we view this tool as an ongoing conversation and part of helping historically marginalized communities to feel empowered to discuss and manage their financial goals as part of their therapeutic goals.
