Getting to know Cheryl Hoffman

I am passionate about working with adults striving to make positive changes in their lives, those in early recovery and with adults from dysfunctional families. My clients often have a history of trauma and/or struggle with self-sabotaging behavior. They seek therapy to improve their lives, and develop positive coping skills for handling difficult emotions and life stressors. Welcome! And good for you for looking for support to create positive changes in your life! The first steps are difficult, especially when you are experiencing emotional distress.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is integrative, blending insight-oriented therapy with more solution-focused therapy. I treat anxiety and trauma with some of the newest mind-body techniques such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and EMDR. These techniques retrain your brain and help reduce emotional dysregulation. Together we will help you reconnect with your resilient self, develop positive coping skills and get you back on the path to living the life of your dreams.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Together we will focus on stopping destructive behavior, identify positive coping skills you can practice between sessions, and help you reconnect with your resilient self. For trauma survivors, we will work together to decrease intrusive memories, decrease the negative impact of trauma, and increase emotional resiliency.
