Amanda Hoffman, MA, APCC

My name is Amanda, and I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach to therapy is rooted in a deep desire to connect with others as I help them along their healing journey. I believe that through collaboration, empathy, and compassion, I can empower my clients to achieve their therapeutic goals and become the best version of themselves. 

I was born and raised in North San Diego County, where I currently live with my husband and two adorable children. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me walking along the beach with a friend, reading a good book, or camping with my family. I absolutely love to travel and immerse myself in new people, places, and cultures. 

I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the University of California, San Diego with a major in Communications, and an MS in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. After working as an administrative assistant for many years, I was inspired to pursue a career as a therapist after my own transformative experience with therapy. I absolutely love working in a field where I get to deeply connect with others and provide them with the support they need to thrive. 

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-centered as I work to understand your goals, challenges, and strengths. In my work with adults and couples, I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Rogerian Therapy to help with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, life transitions, and difficult relational dynamics. I have also received specialized training in grief and loss, and also use EMDR to help clients recover from trauma.
