Colleen Hocking, MA, LPC

Colleen is an independently licensed associate therapist who contracts with Jennifer Ann Counseling to support clients in their healing work. Colleen is a counselor who brings warmth, authenticity, and a calming presence into the therapy room. She is one of those people who just feels safe from the get-go; she's steady, compassionate, and supremely easy to be with. Colleen believes healing happens within safe, connected relationships, and she works intentionally to create a space where clients feel accepted, understood, and able to show up as they are.

Having been in counseling herself, Colleen understands how vulnerable it can feel to start therapy. Her approach is relational, grounded, and collaborative, with a strong focus on helping clients feel a sense of belonging rather than pressure to “do therapy right.”

Colleen works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, body image concerns, and nervous system dysregulation. She integrates EMDR, nervous system–informed therapy, and parts work to help clients build regulation, self-compassion, and a more trusting relationship with themselves.
