Avery Hoppe, MA, APCC #12913

My name is Avery Hoppe and I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. If I am not in the office, I am most likely at the beach playing volleyball or on a hike somewhere new! While in college, I was a Division 1 athlete and experienced the stressors of this high pressure environment. While there, I found a passion about the connection between the mind and body for overall wellness. After years of neglecting my needs in the name of performance, I had an amazing support team help me to regain my sense of self. Now, I use this experience by helping others come out of the fog and see themselves for who they truly are. 

I have my BS in Kinesiology and MA in Counseling from Concordia University Irvine. I have an extensive background in working with individuals suffering from trauma related symptoms, anxiety, depression, and big life transitions. I enjoy working with various populations including youth, young adults, and couples. 

Because I understand the unique pressures and experience of walking through life as an athlete, I have found myself having a speciality of working with current or former athletes. Oftentimes, we athletes are conditioned to ignore physiological cues to stress in the name of peak performance. Your hard work matters, your rest is important, and you deserve to have an identity outside of your sport. My goal in this population is to partner with athlete’s to navigate issues like sport performance anxiety, difficult team dynamics, and to balance the many components in both sport and life.
