Services Offered
Therapy services are provided to residents physically located in California during sessions. Thistle Hofvendahl holds active licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. Therapy services are clinical in nature and are governed by HIPAA and applicable state law.
Coaching services are available to individuals regardless of location where therapy licensure does not apply, or for non-clinical personal and professional development support. Coaching is not therapy, is not a substitute for mental health treatment, medical care, or psychiatric services, and is not covered by HIPAA. Coaching is not appropriate for crisis situations. If you are in crisis, please call or text 988 or call 911.
If you are unsure whether therapy or coaching is the right fit, we encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
