Stacy Hoffer, MA, M.Div, MSW, LCSW

Welcome to my counseling, energy healing, and psychotherapy private practice for children, teens, and adults! 

My name is Stacy Hoffer, MA, M.Div., MSW, LCSW, and I combine the best of traditional therapy techniques with the latest advances in the exciting field of Energy Psychology, such as Thought Field Therapy (TFT), Emotional Freedom Technqiue (EFT) and Resonance Repatterning (RR).  Many of these techniques can bring you immediate relief in session.  Additionally, I will provide you with tools to help yourself so that you may experience rapid relief at home, between sessions.  For children, the primary modality that I use is play therapy.  Please click on Children (on the right) to learn more.

 Philosophy of care

I believe that YOU are the expert on your own life.  No one knows more about you than you do.  I also believe that all healing is self healing, so that my role is to activate and potentiate your healing process. Everything you need is inside of you; I am here to help you access it.    I am with you every step of the way, offering you tools for transformation.  I encourage and guide you as you follow your own path of healing and personal growth. 

I encourge you  to take an active role in your care, including working on your issues between sessions.  I also would like your continuous feedback about how I am doing in fulfilling my pledge to help you.

Healing work is my life's mission, a calling that brings me joy and fulfillment.  I have much to share and would be happy to help you, or a loved one.
