Larkin Hoyt, PsyD(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Larkin Hoyt is a licensed psychologist who works with adults navigating ADHD and neurodivergence, complex trauma, anxiety, and evolving questions of identity. Many of her clients are high-functioning individuals who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, often trying to push through life by working against themselves rather than with how their minds actually operate. Her work focuses on helping clients understand their own wiring and learn how to work with their brains, not against them, especially in the context of attention, emotional regulation, and relationships.

Her approach to therapy is insight-oriented and deeply practical. Dr. Hoyt helps clients make sense of long-standing patterns while also building tools that support real change in daily life. A central focus of her work is what she describes as “meta change,” the process of not just changing behaviors, but changing how one relates to thoughts, emotions, and identity itself. She works with clients who are ready to update the narratives they have about who they are and what is possible for them, even when those narratives have felt fixed for a long time.

A key theme in her work is helping clients stop weaponizing emotions, whether against themselves or others. Emotions are not the problem, but how they are used can become one. Anger can protect boundaries but can also become destructive when misdirected. Shame can signal the need for repair but can erode self-worth when turned inward. Fear can guide caution but can also drive avoidance when it takes over. Rather than suppressing or fighting these experiences, Dr. Hoyt helps clients learn to understand emotions as signals and information, shifting them from something to fear into something that can be worked with.
