“Holly gives me space to talk about my successes and challenges. I always come away from our sessions feeling like I have gained another coping tool or that I was able to talk through something that was bothering me. I feel heard and understood by my therapist and always feel like we are working on what is most important to me at any given moment.”

Getting to know Holly M. Hooton
My volunteering at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego AIDS Project led me to a volunteer management career. I went on to work with volunteers in a medical center, humane society, and adult literacy program.
I returned to college later in life to pursue a career in counseling, earning my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Chico. My desire to become a therapist developed over time as I gained more insight into my own life. A failed marriage landed me in therapy, where I was able to deal with my anger and emotional pain. After some years of antidepressant medication and therapy, I gained a new lease on life. I know firsthand how the thought of treatment can be scary, and feeling better takes time as you work through the counseling process. The potential benefits available through therapy include better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. Psychotherapy is like most things in life—what you get out of it is what effort you put into it.
I work with adolescents and adults. While the backbone of my practice is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I also utilize methods from the post-modern school of thought. You are the expert on yourself. Within you are the answers you seek, and I act as a coach to help guide you along your path. I look forward to working with you.
