Our mission at Deep Breath Counseling is to develop and promote the health and wellness of individuals and couples through a variety of treatment techniques and therapy options while providing a safe space for our clients. We want to empower our clients during their journey through therapy and challenge the barriers and stigmas that often surround mental health issues.
Our focus is you. We are here to help individuals and couples heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.
Empathy: It is of utmost importance that we understand the journey our clients have traveled to get where they are today.
Authenticity: We strive to be consistently open and honest during this process while adhering to clear ethical guidelines.
Creativity: Therapy is not a one-size fits all. Therapy will be tailored to the needs of individuals and couples that we work with through collaboration and flexibility.
Kindness: We are our own worst critic, so it is imperative that we make the time and space to be kind to ourselves.

Hobbs (they/them, he/she) is a newly licensed associate counselor (LAC) under the supervision of Julia, bringing years of experience in both thriving and surviving. They graduated from Pennsylvania Western University with a degree in clinical counseling and will soon complete a Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Counseling Certificate. Hobbs practices from a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive perspective, witnessing clients holistically—mind, body, and soul. Their goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their stories, attachments, and emotions, while working together to find meaning, purpose, and strength in times of confusion, grief, and trauma.
Hobbs offers affirming therapy for many marginalized communities, including neurodivergent individuals, the LGBTQIA+ community, those engaged in ethical non-monogamy, sex-positive and kink-allied individuals, fat liberation advocates, body-affirming clients, and those questioning their spirituality. Their practice is continually evolving toward decolonization, with therapeutic techniques and modalities tailored to the client’s unique needs. Hobbs is experienced in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with a focus on radical acceptance, Solution-Focused Therapy (clarifying goals), Existential Therapy (exploring identity), Somatic Therapy (integrating mind and body), and, when requested, neuroscience-based approaches to understanding biological roots.
Outside of their professional work, Hobbs enjoys gaming—whether on PC, board games, or tabletop role-playing—along with knowledge-seeking, cooking, mindfulness practices, and ecological humanism, which embraces animism and honors ancestors. They also dabble in caring for houseplants, baking bread, and taking occasional walks. At home, they serve as the humble caretaker of Cosmic, the miracle kitty, and Gizzel, the grand curmudgeon.
