Therapist in Olympia, Washington Jonathan Hoyer, Therapist

Jonathan is an associate working toward full licensure under a clinical supervisor. Jonathan Mark Hoyer is a Licensed Social Work Associate Independent Clinician (LSWAIC) in Washington who has been practicing since 2016. He is currently under the licensure supervision of Alison Hadley, LICSW, DCSW. Jonathan has a MSW from California State University Sacramento and a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Montana. Jonathan’s grandfather taught him to always look for opportunities for healing. He has taken this mantra into his therapy practice. Jonathan was also instilled with a profound sense of what is just and fair and what is not. Having a sense of equality is an important quality in a therapist. He has a deep understanding of the significance of “unconditional positive regard” because he is sensitive to the effects of stigma and bias on a person’s psyche. Jonathan is likewise intuitive to the emboldening results of being treated as an equal. He believes strongly in empowering and not powering over. Jonathan specializes in ADHD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use disorders, and TBI. Jonathan excels at building rapport with his clients; he believes a strong therapeutic relationship is critical to the client’s growth. He uses treatment modalities such as CBT, humanistic therapy, motivational interviewing, interpersonal therapy, and narrative therapy, and finds that an eclectic approach best suites his clients’ needs. In his free time, Jonathan enjoys snowboarding, fishing, exploring nature, adventuring in a new town, backpacking, mountain biking, and yoga, and you might catch him playing video games on occasion, too.
