Dr. Brooke Hoffman is a licensed Psychologist in Pennsylvania. She began her training at the University of Pittsburgh, with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2003. She remained in Pittsburgh to gain a Masters in Counseling Psychology at Chatham University. She obtained her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Chestnut Hill College in 2015, with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy. During completion of her degrees, Dr. Hoffman maintained employment in the mental health field across several levels of care and client populations. Since beginning work at Center for Integrated Behavioral Health in 2016, she has focused primarily on pre-teen, adolescent, and early adult age ranges. She thoroughly enjoys the unique life experiences and identity development which occur during this time.
The transition from middle to high school and beyond can illicit standout emotional challenges. Dr. Hoffman aims to normalize these experiences, with focus on skill-building unique to each individual. She can collaborate with school staff, as needed, to encourage a team approach. She can work with parents to help guide home strategies during the growing independence of teen years. As reflected in her doctoral dissertation “Hope in the Clinical Context: A Survey of Practicing Clinicians,” she strives to increase hope in clients by focusing on resiliency and building upon personal strengths. Primary treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Parent Management Training, and Collaborative Problem Solving. These approaches encourage bold moves towards challenges, to ultimately instill increased confidence and ability to pursue what’s most meaningful in life.
