Laura Hopf , LMHC

Laura Hopf is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington, bringing six years of clinical experience to her work and describing therapy as her second career and life purpose. She has provided direct mental health therapy and behavioral counseling for youth, caregivers, teens, and adults facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, gender identity concerns, learning differences, and relationship difficulties.

Her background spans individual and group therapy in community mental health agencies and day treatment settings, with experience in intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. Those roles have shaped a practical, experience-informed approach to care and an ability to adapt interventions to different levels of need.

Laura approaches therapy from an integrative and holistic perspective, drawing on person-centered, Gestalt, humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical behavioral methods to tailor care to each person. She views individuals in the context of their closest relationships, family systems, and environments, and she emphasizes compassion, respect, and warmth within the therapeutic relationship. Whether the goal is insight and personal growth or symptom relief and improved functioning, she focuses on collaborating with clients to identify what will work best for their needs and goals.
