Laura Hoch, LPCC, LCPC, NCC
Hi, I'm Laura Hoch.
I believe every client carries a unique story, and part of my role is to help uncover the threads of your past in order to create new, meaningful chapters. You are the expert in your life. My goal is to support you in cultivating greater self-awareness, developing effective coping strategies, improving your relationships with yourself and others, and building on your inherent strengths.
Healing begins in a space where you feel truly seen and heard. I understand that it takes courage to open up, and I’ll work with you to build a trusting relationship where we can explore your feelings, behaviors, and goals at your own pace. I approach our work together with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your experiences. Therapy is not about me giving you answers—it's a collaborative process of understanding, growth, and change. We’ll explore the tools and coping mechanisms that work best for you, while also reflecting on the deeper patterns that may be at play.
I believe in addressing the whole person – not just the symptoms – by considering your physical, emotional, and mental health as interconnected. Our work will center on your needs and goals, and I will adapt my approach to ensure that it feels authentic and supportive. This may include talk therapy, mindfulness practices, or behavioral strategies.
As an Asian-American, I understand the significance of cultural identity. My background helps me recognize the nuances of various traditions, values, and belief systems, and how they shape your worldview. I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults in various settings including schools, hospitals, outpatient treatment centers, and even internationally. These diverse experiences have deepened my understanding of the many ways people cope, adapt, and heal. I welcome working with clients from any race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual identity.
I am based in Los Angeles and work with clients via telehealth throughout California. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to learn about your experience, answer any questions, and see if we are a right fit.
