Getting to know David Hobby

Hello! My name is Dr. David Hobby, and I'm a board-certified Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my PhD in Psychology from La Sierra University and graduated from Sierra University with an emphasis on bodily-oriented psychotherapy. I specialize in trauma, relationship issues, emotional processing, and emotional regulation. I'm happy to help you today with any of your healthcare concerns.

What should a new client know about working with you?

During the first session, we will be working together to understand what your specific needs are for therapy. We will work collaboratively to create goals and a treatment plan. This may include taking a history from you to assess what may have led to your particular emotional and behavioral patterning. We will look at skills that you can employ to address any challenges you are being faced with. Everyone processes in their own individual way and some individuals may need to talk about their situation with minimum feedback until they are done while others may need more active skill-building and psychoeducation.

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
