Psychologist in California & New York
About Dr. Kira Hoffman
With over a decade of clinical experience, I work with accomplished professionals balancing demanding careers and full personal lives. Many of my clients have built impressive careers yet privately feel stuck, uncertain, or disconnected.
My practice is intentionally small and highly individualized. I work one-on-one with those who value depth and accountability—people who want more than coping strategies and are ready for something deeper.
Support when you need a soft landing. Clear, honest guidance when it’s time to change.
Learn to relate to yourself with more kindness, patience, and understanding.
Self-compassion
Cultivate present-moment awareness so you can notice, pause, and respond instead of react.
Mindfulness
Get to know the parts of yourself that shape how you think, feel, and relate to others.
Parts work (IFS)
Explore how early relationships shape the way you connect with yourself and others.
Attachment-based therapy
My work is grounded in relational, insight-oriented therapy that deepens self-awareness and builds emotional flexibility. I draw from these frameworks in our sessions.

what to expect
working with kira hoffman, psy.d
“Here for life’s turning points — a promotion or a rage quit, an engagement or a hard-earned breakup, a successful egg retrieval or the decision to stop IVF.”
My work is deeply informed by extensive study and training in attachment theory, with a focus on how early relational experiences shape the way we connect to ourselves and others. This has included developing and facilitating a psychoeducational program designed to help adults cultivate more secure attachment.
