Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
I am trained through a Health Psychology focused lens and am passionate about the mind body connection. I have worked as a Behavioral Medicine Consultant in primary care and have supported many clients with illness to live rich and meaningful lives. I am particularly passionate about helping people with issues such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other gastrointestinal disorders. I currently offer a Better Living with Illness group where in 6 weeks you will be able to get support from other group members as well as learn tools and skills to live more in line with your values. The protocol for this group is an evidence-based protocol using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

When Pain or Illness Shapes Your Days
Living with ongoing pain or illness can quietly take over your life. You may look “fine” to others while inside you’re exhausted from trying to manage symptoms, appointments, and emotions that come with them. It’s common to feel frustrated with your body, anxious about flare-ups, or isolated when people don’t truly understand what you’re going through. You might notice that the harder you fight your pain, the more your stress and tension grow. You may grieve the life you used to have, or feel guilty for not being able to “push through” like you once did.
In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you reduce emotional suffering, even when physical symptoms remain. You’ll learn practical tools to:
Ease the anxiety, frustration, and guilt that often accompany chronic conditions
Calm the mind–body loop that keeps pain and stress feeding each other
Reconnect with your body as an ally rather than an enemy
Build confidence in managing daily life with greater balance and compassion
Our sessions combine cognitive and emotional tools with mindfulness-based practices. You’ll track your progress each week and practice brief daily exercises that retrain the brain’s stress response — supporting both emotional and physical resilience.
I BELIEVE:
Pain and illness don’t define you — they reveal your strength and capacity to adapt.
Emotional healing supports physical healing; they work together, not apart.
You deserve care that honors your whole experience, not just your symptoms.
Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up; it means finding peace even in uncertainty.
Humor, gentleness, and self-compassion are powerful forms of medicine.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Roanne de Guia-Samuels
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CChT
Chronic pain & illness can be so be so isolating. You do all the things. Show up for others but can’t quite figure out why your body can’t show up for you. Instead, it feels like a cage you want to break free from but just don’t know how. In our work together, we blend psychotherapy & somatic touch therapy so that your body can begin to find ease and calm again.
