About Nicholas

Walnut Creek child therapy and couples therapy

Nicholas Hodder-Hastorf, AMFT

Walnut Creek Individual and Couples Therapist

I have a warm and client-centered approach. I seek to meet you where you are, to work on your goals. My goal is to create a non-judgmental safe space where you can work through whatever traumas and pain are holding you back.

I have experience working with children of all ages, with a particular focus on adolescents. I also work with individual adults and couples. I enjoy creating a strong therapeutic bond and allowing clients to find their own joy and desire to connect. I have a psychodynamic focus, working on attachment and relationships.

I received my Master's in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute.

Some Issues I often support:

  • Transitions in life and development

  • Grief

  • Anxiety

  • Relationship Issues

  • Depression

  • Attachment

  • Self-esteem

  • Connecting to your Joy

  • Intimacy
