“Well I have seen about four other providers, and didn't feel a match for any of them. As a matter of fact I stopped for awhile in between all of them, because I felt frustrated and overwhelmed I couldn't find my therapist! Then I was looking again and read Roberta's profile and I knew instantly we were a match! I feel safe and comfortable to share my feelings without any judgement. We just click and work well together.”

“Very down to earth and easy to speak to. When you talk to her you can see from the expression on her face that she is really listening and understanding. Dr. Tsang you assigned me to several years ago was terrible. Not personable and very cold.”

Getting to know Roberta Hood
I believe that each person’s experience is unique, and I’m committed to creating a warm, supportive space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings. My approach is entirely client-centered—I prioritize understanding your individual needs and pacing, helping you navigate challenges like depression, grief, anxiety, and significant life transitions. Together, we can work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and a more fulfilling life. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth.
My approach
My approach is deeply rooted in client-centered therapy. This means you are the expert on your own experiences, and I am here to listen with genuine empathy, offer unwavering acceptance, and work alongside you on your journey of self-discovery and growth. I believe in creating a safe and trusting environment where you feel truly heard and understood. Building upon this foundation, I integrate evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we can explore unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to challenge and shift them, leading to positive changes in how you feel and act. I also draw upon aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), particularly skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can be invaluable in managing intense emotions, navigating difficult situations, and building healthier relationships. Finally, I incorporate elements of Narrative Therapy to help you explore the stories that shape your life. By externalizing problems and identifying your unique strengths and resources, we can work together to re-author your narrative in a way that feels more empowering and aligned with your values and hopes for the future.
