Getting to know Hanna Hoyt

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, with an emphasis on creating a space where clients can be themselves without judgment. I view each client as the expert on their own experience and work collaboratively with them to identify their strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. I have experience providing support to children and adolescents navigating a variety of challenges, including trauma, parental separation, anxiety, social anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, ADHD, social skills, grief and loss, and other life transitions. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and a strengths-based perspective. I recognize that difficult behaviors and emotional responses often serve a purpose, and I work with clients to better understand what may be underneath those experiences while developing healthier ways to cope and communicate. Whether working with a child, adolescent, adult, or family, my goal is to create a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel empowered to explore their experience and develop skills that support their emotional well-being.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me means entering a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you, or your loved one, are seen as the expert on your own life. I view therapy as a partnership: we will work together to uncover underlying feelings, understand the purpose behind difficult behaviors or emotions, and build practical coping tools that fit your real-world needs. Whether we are using creative techniques like play and art therapy with younger clients or utilizing CBT and mindfulness with teens and adults, my goal is always to move at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and empowering for you.
