Paprika Hofsommer, Licensed Master Social Worker

I believe in providing therapy that is nonjudgmental, empathetic, and attuned to your needs. While the process may be challenging at times, I aim to offer a safe, supportive space where you can better understand yourself and how to approach the challenges you may be facing. I take a warm, conversational approach to help you make sense of your emotions and experiences, and to support you in reaching your goals. I am LGBTQ-affirming, kink- and body-positive, and disability-informed. I’m fluent in a range of modalities, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, somatic therapy, and motivational interviewing, and I’m happy to help you find what works best for you. I practice trauma-informed care, and I offer support in building skills that foster emotional regulation and resilience. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, substance use issues, identity concerns, and relationship challenges. I’m happy to collaborate with other providers to help ensure you receive the care you need. I look forward to working with you as you take the next step to grow and thrive.
