I am a creative person myself, so I enjoy implementing creative methods with my clients when appropriate; this includes art, movement, nature, meditation, play (even with adults!), etc.
Hello, I'm Lizzie Hoff. I'm excited to meet you and learn more about you while we start your therapy work together! I really enjoy working with folks of all ages who are interested in understanding not just their symptoms and how to manage them, but also in getting to the root cause(s) and working to address that, as well. I connect especially well with highly sensitive people (HSPs); folks who struggle with anxiety and/or depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and boundary-setting; and individuals who simply want or need someone to accompany them down the road to healing and wellness.

Additionally, I use Mindfulness, Polyvagual theory, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, and Art Therapy to help confront and let go of our experiences in a healthy way.
Do you feel stuck in the trauma, activation in the body, & fear of abandonment? Are your symptoms not resolving through traditional talk therapy? I offer trauma resolution for women and queer folx ready to heal. Life certainly has a way of presenting what can feel like insurmountable challenges that distract us from our true nature. When we hit rock bottom it creates a crack for our greatness to flood through though often the pain of breaking distracts us in an unbearable way. Together we'll mend those cracks with gold. Sometimes we just need a lighthouse to show us the way back to our greatness, or to uncover it for the first time.

You woke up again only to realize your person is gone. Just like that. They are no longer here. Is it even possible to go on without them? The ache in your chest is too much to bear. The tears either won’t stop flowing or they don’t even come. It feels like you’re stuck in a rip current. You see the shore, find some relief, and then the wave slaps you in the face and again you are being dragged under. It’s unfair. It’s gut-wrenching. It just SUCKS! Life doesn’t have the same excitement it once did, and you wonder if it ever will again.

Art Therapy

How does art therapy work?

The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?

Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?

The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?

Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
