Welcome

My name is Christy Hobza and I am a licensed psychologist.  I've committed my life to collaborating with people to grow and develop healthy and fulfilling lives and relationships.

​Everyone needs help sometimes, but asking for help can be hard or even embarrassing.  It can be hard to know where to start.  

I work with a wide range of people from infants, children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling in their life.  I can help identify why you or your child is struggling through psychological or neuropsychological assessment.  I also treat people with common symptoms such as anxiety, OCD, and depression.  

We live in a fast paced world and the demands or felt expectations of that world can overwhelm our resources.

I offer a free 30 minute consultation so that we can meet and see if I can help you and consider what you need to get unstuck and feel better.


Call or text to schedule a free 30 minute consultation:

I look forward to hearing from you!
