I am truly honored to work with individuals and couples from all backgrounds and orientations.

You know things seem off track yet can't seem to identify why. Things feel OFF! When we work together, we will gently learn the core of the distress that you are experiencing. As we learn your life history, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We will embrace and cherish all parts of yourself and learn about the challenging messages you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today. Distress can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. In our work together, we'll use EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you thrive.

I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I employ a variety of approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, lifestyle changes, and psychoeducation to help people dealing with issues including attention issues, anxiety issues, relationship issues, family issues, depression and other mood issues, and trauma issues.

And whether our work is short or long term, together we can bring you that much closer to the support you deserve.

Many of us go through life with little reflection. Deciding to enter into "psychotherapy" is sometimes triggered by an emotional factor such as depression or anxiety but this is not a necessary prerequisite. I have found working with clients in psychotherapy very rewarding as it provides an opportunity for enormous personal growth as they explore who they have been, who they are now, and who they truly want to be. This process can be painful and sometimes clients wonder how long it will take to feel better and then 1 day they realize they are acting and feeling different than they did before. Let's explore what is and is not working and how you might need to expand to become who you are.

Understanding how you view the world can carry immense benefits. I can help you learn how what happened to you may have negatively affected you, and how to understand how that has colored your viewpoint until now. By examining your own history, you can change your life in a positive way going forward. It's almost impossible to see yourself- let me hold up a mirror and help you understand yourself and your world better.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

Dr. Hobbie's goal in Psychotherapy is to help you overcome life's difficulties and cultivate a greater sense of personal well-being. He can provide guidance in dealing with troublesome behaviors and beliefs that interfere with living life fully. The process of therapy often involves a careful look at our past journey and the resulting feelings and beliefs that we acquire. He can assist you in understanding those past events and how they continue to impact your life.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.

Therapy is the process of learning how to understand yourself, your motivations, and your relationships. I use the analogy that a therapist helps you in bringing all of your boxes out of storage, spreading the contents on the table, and making sense of it all. Therapy is not advice giving, but an investigation into the nuts and bolts of your decision making. It is my goal to empower you throughout this process, and to help you reclaim your strengths that have been buried by the junk of life.

A tremendous value-add to having me as your psychotherapist is based on what I term my contextual approach. In short, I see every client as unique. Hence, my therapeutic modalities are tailored specifically to individual client needs. I used all five broad-based categories in my psychotherapy namely: psychodynamic therapies, behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, humanistic therapy and integrative or holistic therapy. We believe rigidity in therapy significantly limits client results and often misses the whole picture. Other benefits include the incorporation of interpersonal and systematic approaches which combat self-defeating patterns and make allowances to firmly establish sound frameworks

James Hillman once said, "we've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we overassume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
