Meet Michelle

Michelle Hoffman is a Licensed Family Therapist who helps couples, parents, and families strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and create healthier relationships through evidence-based, collaborative therapy. Her approach is direct, compassionate, and grounded in emotional intelligence, humor, and practical tools clients can use long after therapy ends.

She works extensively with high-achieving professionals, parents, and couples seeking deeper connection and clearer communication. Michelle helps clients navigate conflict, recognize emotional patterns, and lead more intentionally at home—always with the goal of equipping them with the skills to eventually become their own therapist. She also brings deep expertise in adolescent and young-adult mental health, supporting teens facing dysregulation, school avoidance, suicidality, self-harm, ADHD, ASD, anxiety, and depression, tailoring her work to the individual teen, the parents, or the entire family system.

With experience in residential treatment, in-home therapy, and therapeutic day schools, Michelle has a nuanced understanding of how behavior, emotion, and family dynamics intersect. She draws from CBT, DBT, family systems, and experiential tools to create sessions that are engaging and effective. Michelle also draws on her previous experience as a strategy consultant to develop goals, create actionable interventions, and increase collaborative communication. In addition to her clinical work, she is a trainer for the National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder (NEABPD) and leads workshops on school refusal, dysregulation, suicidality, and family communication for parents, educators, and community groups.
