Getting to know Heidi Hokaj

Hi there, I'm Heidi! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and Child Counseling from the University of San Diego, where I also earned my Bachelor’s degree. Licensed for over 25 years, I enjoy working with teens, children, individual adults, and families. I take a supportive, matter-of-fact approach to guide clients toward a more peace-filled life. I use an eclectic approach including mindfulness, psychoeducation, and CBT. My approach Trained as a cognitive behavioral therapist, I don’t follow a script. I meet clients where they are and help them move from feeling stuck to a place where life is more manageable and enjoyable. I use mindfulness, EFT, solution-focused skills, and a growth mindset. My focus I’ve worked over 25 years in various settings, helping diverse clients. I’ve worked in public schools, juvenile youth authority, group homes, and group practices with MDs. I have helped clients through suicidal ideation, anxiety, family and life transitions, and gender identity issues. I’ve participated in IEPs, led after-school enrichment programs, adolescent social-emotional skill groups, and women’s domestic violence classes. My ideal client values counseling and seeks guidance through the process. My communication style I want clients to feel comfortable during sessions. While I prefer virtual sessions with video on, I accommodate those uncomfortable with it. If a client wants to draw or work on a project (sewing, art, Legos) during sessions, I support that. I encourage clients to ask questions and share their opinions.
