Going Beyond

The Surface

Symptoms are the surface. They are signs of something more profound, specific to who you are and what you've experienced.

At HBH, we value the complex links between a person’s mind, body, behavior, identity, and culture. Our approach allows us to understand the roots of your challenges and avenues for personalized growth.

When you work with us, you can expect a supportive environment where your journey toward wellness and freedom are our highest priorities

"The purpose of psychotherapy is to set people free."

Hi, I'm Dr Hopkins

I believe that people need to be understood – to feel acknowledged and seen in the midst of their troubles.

Without these moments of understanding, life can feel empty, lonely, or disappointing.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

We’ve worked with people to overcome fears that hinder intimacy and fulfillment, to reckon with and heal from trauma, and to grow in ways they couldn’t previously imagine.

Through meticulous listening, nonjudgmental curiosity, honesty, and effort, we facilitate a liberating environment for growth and change.

Start The Journey to a Better You

Therapy is a space to gain new insight, address recurring problems, access the wisdom within, and pursue fulfillment.

Together, we can give your story time to be understood and processed

Our Services

Let's work together to pursue the life you truly desire.

Individual Therapy

Personal fulfillment, meaning, and growth can be achieved through self-knowledge and guided reflection. Gain a greater understanding of who you are and what you desire to pursue the life you want.

Couples Therapy

No one is perfect, which means no relationship is perfect. Deepen your understanding of each other to improve communication, intimacy, and connection.

Therapy for Trauma

Our worst experiences don’t have to define us. There’s always opportunity to learn, heal and grow. Reckon with the past to take control of your present.

Consultation & Speaking

Organizations have complex dynamics. Cultivate brave spaces, navigate difficult conversations, and increase cohesion in the workplace or at school.

"Healing is about taking the time to notice what gets in the way of feeling connected to your life, your community, and your sense of possibility. Healing, at its core, is about slowing down so that we can better listen to ourselves and each other."

- Susan Raffo
