So, who am I?

Meet Leslie Hofmeister, LMFT

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and families heal, grow, and thrive. My journey to becoming a therapist is deeply personal, rooted in my own experiences of loss and family transformation.

My Story

Losing a parent at a young age and growing up in a blended family showed me firsthand how profoundly trauma can impact us - both individually and as a family unit. It was through family therapy that we were able to repair old wounds, cultivate empathy, and strengthen our bonds. This transformative experience ignited my passion for helping others navigate similar challenges.

My Journey

I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Studies, followed by a Master's in Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. After marrying and moving across the country, I settled in Southern California, where I raised three children and established my therapy practice in 2015. Recently, I've relocated to Idaho, expanding my practice to serve clients virtually in both California and Idaho.

My Approach

I take an emotionally focused, experiential approach that is person-centered and grounded in attachment theory. I completed extensive post graduate training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals (EFIT) and am certified to administer SYMBIS premarital assessments. I am often sought out by couples in need of relationship repair, individuals navigating relational distress, and those seeking to integrate their faith into the counseling process.
