Laverne Hoffler-Duckworth

At Headway, we've created a nurturing space where the focus on inherent strengths fosters profound transformations-a testament to our dedication and my leadership in mental well-being. In collaboration with colleagues, my proficiency in exposure therapy, DBT, and CBT has significantly contributed to stabilizing clients grappling with substance use and mental health challenges. We are dedicated in serving children 8 and up through the use of play therapy. Our approach helps children finds words to articulate their needs, while also guiding parents in understanding and implementing changes at home which will bring relief ongoing

My therapeutic approach has led to significant transformations in my clients. Many parents have reported noticeable improvements in their children's emotional regulation, communication, within consistent treatment over the course 6-8 weeks.

Additionally, my leadership in the therapy room upholds the belief that change should be empowering and therapy should never feel overwhelming. I pride myself on creating an environment where clients can explore, grow, and take actionable steps toward a more fulfilling life.
