About me

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Life can be incredibly overwhelming at times and there are moments when we can all feel alone, directionless or hopeless. We can go thru experiences that are incomprehensible and devastating, while at other times we may feel stuck and stagnant, bogged down by some unknown force, just simply not knowing what to do. Whether you are new to therapy or returning due to life's ever-changing circumstances, you do not need to go thru your experience alone.

I have a great deal of experience and skill holding space for others who are struggling to find their flow in life. Clients describe me as genuine, sincere, compassionate, patient, honest, straight-forward and humorous. I am very present and do not withhold. I offer my own opinions, thoughts and perspectives while trusting and respecting your own.

They say it takes only twenty seconds of courage, so pick up the phone, write an email. Life could change this very moment. I look forward to hearing from you and believe that there is already more changing and growing within you than you know.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mike Hofstetter. 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.

Mike has been great with helping me overcome some hurdles with depression and anxiety. He listens and understands and communicates great advice in a non-judgemental way.
