Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
I believe psychotherapy is most effective when it is grounded in a genuine, collaborative relationship characterized by empathy, authenticity, and respect. My approach is existential-humanistic and relational, recognizing that each person brings a unique history, perspective, and way of experiencing the world. Rather than viewing people primarily through the lens of symptoms or diagnoses, I seek to empathetically understand the whole person, including their struggles, strengths, relationships, values, and aspirations.
I see therapy as an opportunity not only to address emotional distress but also to deepen self-understanding, explore life's challenges, and discover new possibilities for living more authentically and meaningfully. I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and challenged in ways that support growth. I believe meaningful change emerges through authentic encounter, increased awareness, and the courage to engage more fully with ourselves, others, and the world.

Jennifer Francke Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, LPC, LADC, LMHC
Hello, and welcome! My name is Jen Francke, and I have had the privilege of practicing as a licensed independent mental health practitioner and licensed alcohol and drug counselor for over 11 years. My journey in the field has been deeply influenced by my belief that everyone, at some point in their life, faces challenges that can feel overwhelming. While you have undoubtedly navigated through many difficulties in the past, there is absolutely no shame in seeking extra support when you need it. That’s where I come in—to walk alongside you as you work toward healing, balance, and a renewed sense of well-being.
I offer a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, blending trauma-informed, client-centered methods with proven therapeutic techniques. I am also certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which I have found to be incredibly effective for clients dealing with trauma and distressing life experiences. Whether you're seeking individual psychotherapy or substance abuse treatment, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, heal, and grow.
In addition to my clinical work, I have completed yoga teacher training, which has enhanced my approach by incorporating mindfulness and self-awareness practices to support emotional and mental healing. By integrating mind, body, and spirit, I work with clients to help them achieve greater mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
No matter where you are on your journey, I’m here to help guide and support you in taking the next steps toward a healthier, more balanced life. Feel free to reach out to learn more about how we can work together toward achieving your goals.

Monica S. Scarborough, CCHt.
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist CCHt, C.L.C, C.S.C., ORDM, Author
At Mystical Aqoostix, my mission is to help you get to the absolute root cause of emotional hurdles, stress, and trauma rather than simply managing surface symptoms. True healing is a holistic journey that requires balancing the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the body’s natural energetic frequencies. By combining talk therapy and clinical hypnotherapy with metaphysics, somatic breathwork, mudras, and vocalized mantras, we help you see your life experiences from a completely new perspective. We utilize targeted tuning forks and specific sound frequencies to center your nervous system and shift your inner vibrations. Whether you are seeking individual transformation, couples alignment, or family counseling, I provide a safe, nurturing, and judgment-free sanctuary to help you release what no more serves you, reclaim your personal power, and find lasting peace.

Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
Most couples who reach out to me have already tried talking it through, sometimes for years, and they're worn out from having the same fight in slightly different words. I work differently. Drawing on PACT, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR, I help partners notice what's happening in their bodies and nervous systems when things go sideways, so change sticks where insight alone hasn't. I work with betrayal, gridlocked conflict, intimacy struggles, blended families, and couples preparing for marriage. If you're ready for something more than communication tips, I'd be glad to hear from you.
