About Me
I am a Licensed Psychologist and Therapist with over twenty years total experience working with adolescents, adults, and families. I have a diverse background with experience in forensics (inmate populations), sexual abuse trauma, child abuse, depression/anxiety, and personality disorders. I have been in private practice for the past three years. I have expertise working with sexual offenders and the families of sexual trauma. I work in depth with individuals and families struggling with substance abuse and addiction.
I hold the belief that therapy is a means to effect positive change and increase wellness. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, which simply means that by understanding the way we think, we can modify those thoughts, and therefore modify how we feel. It is an empowerment approach that can provide hope when life feels hopeless.
I look forward to joining you on this journey to wellness, happiness, and fulfillment!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Angela Hoffman. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
All these numerous and constant surveys are really too much . It seems every time I sm on here Better Help is confronting me with another one. I’ve already given several glowing reviews of my therapist - and i really appreciate BHelp‘s platform snd the services it offers and i live my therapist . But enough already . Could it not be twice a year ? What are you doing with these reviews. Maybe it’s because I give great reviews they keep publishing and pretend it’s from different clients ? Are you reading this even ?
Appreciate you!!
Angela is really nice and easy to talk to. I’ve seen improvement in myself since I started services with her.
She’s there when I need her
Angela is amazing. We have worked together for a year now. Made so much progress that I could never have imagined. My life has changed a lot and I benefit a lot from our time together. She is patient , non-judgemental, responsive on messages in between our weekly catch up . I found her very supportive during our time together.
Angela has been a great resource and person to talk to. She is very professional and empathetic.
I think Angela is great so far! She is always offering different ways to look at situations and ensuring that she asks the right questions to fully understand what you're going through!
She is an excellent therapist and with her help, I don't feel as hopeless.
Angela stays on me to be engaged even when I drift away. I need that and appreciate it.
It has truly helped and changed my life
Angela is wonderful!! Her enthusiasm and insight are so helpful and I feel like doing counseling with her has helped me grow a lot. It’s nice to be able to feel in control of my life!
Angela Hoffman is very kind and really listens to you. I’m happy she is my therapist. I know will continue to grow with her guidance.
I feel like I am really being listened to. Angela also helps me to see a different perspective on how I feel and gives me information and tools to help better understand. I feel relieved when speaking together.
Angela is honestly the best therapist I’ve ever had!
I am really grateful to be working with Angela she is a very caring person and truly entered a profession that she is incredible at. It's nice to have a bit of compassion while still offering challenges to the way your thinking. I highly recommend Angela to anyone.
Mrs. Hoffman is very professional and always attentive. Having seen several therapists over the years, I can say honestly that no one has helped me as quickly or as efficiently as Mrs. Hoffman.
Angela has been wonderful for me. She truly listens and pushes me to be better.
My experience has been positive so far
Angela is amazing. She's caring and supportive- just what I need!
Angela is amazing. She's super compassionate and incredibly smart, and always helps by giving me insight into the problems I discuss with her. I've been working with her for more than a year and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
Can’t thank her enough for the help I receive.
She’s an excellent counselor, she listens to me and is very thorough and patient with everything.
Angela was very helpful! She is very attentive and is great at providing insight through the sharing of her own personal experiences. She gives great advice and even provides helpful “worksheets” and exercises. Very lovely person to talk with; highly recommend her.
She is very helpful and very attentive!!
I have only had a few sessions but so far Angela Hoffman has been great.
Angela is an ANGEL! I can’t believe how she knows me so well already, this counseling started less than a month ago and she already knows how to talk to me in such a way that feels safe and trusting. I will ask her questions that I would normally be frightened to ask, but with Angela she makes the answers even less frightening. The point is I trust her and I’m so thankful I found better help and Angela!
I would recommend Angela. She is personable, caring, and is wanting to work with you and help you through difficulties. She really tries to build an understanding of you and helps you guide yourself in the right direction. I find our conversations thought-provoking and allows me to self reflect.
I have been doing counseling for a little while now with Angela. She is a really good listener and encouraging. She has good tips and advice on dealing with anxiety and also helps put things back into perspective!
Angela comforts me in my journey to mental well being and understands how sensitive mental disabilities. She is knowledgeable and gives resources and hope. That's the biggest thing. She's the only one who's made me feel like she cares. She's kind, caring, compassionate and willing with each message sent. I appreciate her so much.
Angela is a wonderful counselor, she really takes time to listen to what I’m having trouble with. I feel like she picks up on things that may be the underlying reason I was struggling that I didn’t even realize was the issue. She gets back with me quickly and is always friendly and caring and very relatable. I would highly recommend her!
Angela is a deeply caring and encouraging psychologist. I feel totally comfortable bringing issues and questions to her because she handles them with grace and her advice is spot-on. She's already helped me so much, and I'm so glad I was matched with her!
Angela Hoffman does a great job of acknowledging how a situation is making me feel. She gives me counter ways of looking at things to take the blame off myself and see things in another prospective. She is compassionate and asks follow up questions to get a grasp on the whole situation so she can deal with 100% of the problem. I get the feeling she knows there are deeper issues to my problems and is doing a good job of slowly bringing them to surface. I am very grateful I was matched with, Angela Hoffman.
Angela is great. She really listens and seems to genuinely care about helping you. She definitely know's what shes talking about. I feel very open to talk to her about anything without judgement.
Angela is a phenomenal counsellor. Throughout all our session, I really felt heard and understood by Angela. She wouldn't just say that she understands, but lead into an experience that she went through and that showed that she truly does understand. She provided me many many tools to help me cope with whatever I was going through, and all her tools actually helped me to think highly of myself, to respect myself, and she helped me realize a lot about myself- the things that I didn't notice that I was suppressing which is why I kept having the same emotions and worries that I was having. But Angela, helped me realize them and helped me to face them head on. It always relieved me knowing that I can go onto here, type whatever it was out to Angela, and Angela would respond so quick with no judgement in her messages at all but purely acceptance, which created a very safe environment for me to express my feelings. Angela is honestly the best at what she does and I felt so calm and relaxed talking to her.
Before talking to Angela my head was all swimmy with stuff. She helped and continues to help me sort it all out so I'm less stressed and can properly deal with my issues.
I appreciate Angela so much. I didn't realize how much I actually needed someone to talk to about the things I'm currently going through in my life. While it isn't just a quick fix, it helps to have someone understand what I'm going through and offer advice.
Angela has been super helpful in the short time I have worked with her. She has given me several exercises to help me cope with my anxiety and definitely recommend her expertise!
She's amazing. I've never felt better about my anxieties and life in general. Her support makes me feel like I can accomplish my goals.
Angela is an amazing psychologist! She helped me to understand a lot of things about myself and the ways to deal with the issues in my life. I felt very comfortable with sharing my thoughts & feelings with her and she guided me during the whole process. I feel like many of the questions in my head found the right answers and I feel released now. Thank you, Angela! :)
