Ally Hofbauer

Ally Hofbauer is a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Westminster University in Salt Lake City, Utah. She provides therapy for children, teens, and adults, creating a supportive, relational, and collaborative space for healing and growth.

Ally primarily practices from a relational foundation, drawing heavily from person-centered and humanistic/existential theories. She also integrates evidence-based techniques such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and play therapy to meet the unique needs of each client.

With extensive experience supporting individuals facing substance use issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, autism, and grief and loss, Ally approaches her work with warmth, gentleness, and deep curiosity. She believes her clients are the experts on their own lives and sees her role as a mirror-reflecting back their strengths, insights, and desires so they can move toward the identity, relationships, and future they envision.

Grounded in authenticity and compassion, Ally is committed to helping clients build self-understanding, develop meaningful coping tools, and reconnect with resilience and hope.

When Ally is not with clients, she enjoys spending time with her family or spending time on the water of the Chesapeake Bay.
