Veronica Dover Hoffman

Veronica Dover Hoffman is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 27 years of clinical experience. She collaborates with clients to help them reach their goals, bringing a warm, welcoming, and affirming client-centered approach to each session.

Her work spans a broad range of concerns, including relationship and partner issues, parenting challenges, anxiety and depression, coping with life changes, stress management in personal and professional contexts, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and career difficulties. She has experience with clients of all ages and has provided therapy for couples, individuals, families, and children.

Veronica is certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, a model that engages both parent and child to address severe behavioral disorders in young children ages 2 to 7, and she also holds a certificate in aging. She integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to help clients understand how thoughts and feelings influence behavior, while attending to life stages and developmental tasks to place current challenges in the context of a person’s broader life course.

Understanding that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, Veronica focuses on creating a safe and supportive space where the courage it took to reach out can be used to move toward the positive changes a client seeks. She looks forward to working with new clients and supporting them through their journeys.
