In 1990, he began his transition into the counseling profession by entering graduate school at the University of Phoenix.  During the latter part of his coursework, he started his research project for his Masters thesis in the area of validating the role of individual psychological reactance in treatment outcomes.  He conducted his research and was a counseling intern in the adult mental health program at Tri-City Behavioral Services in 1992, and graduated with his Masters of Counseling degree in March of 1993.

Mr. Hofmann spent the next two and a half years providing counseling and management consultation for an Employee Assistance Program at a major employer in the Phoenix-metro area.  He received his national certification (NCC) from the National Board for Certified Counselors, Inc. and his professional certification/license (LPC) from the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners in November of 1995, and opened a full-time private practice in 1996.  During the ensuing years, he has received post-graduate training in psychodiagnostics and clinical assessment, biofeedback therapy, marriage and relationship counseling, personality disorders, and psychopharmacology.  During this time, he also taught graduate and undergraduate courses in psychology and counseling, and conducted seminars and workshops on a variety of topics throughout the state.

Mr. Hofmann received his specialty certification as a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC) from the National Board in January of 2003.  He has also received nine years of post-graduate clinical supervision and mentoring from John Rusnak, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist and adjunct faculty member at Arizona State University and the University of Phoenix.

Mr. Hofmann has also been active in the state professional organizations, holding the positions of president of the Arizona branch of the American Mental Health Counseling Association in 1996-97, and president of the Arizona branch of the American Counseling Association in 1999-2000.  Most recently, he was the chair of the Arizona Behavioral Health Professionals Coalition, which is a partnership of the four behavioral health professional associations in the state.  The Coalition successfully partnered with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners to create and pass legislation to license behavioral health professionals in Arizona starting in July of 2004.  As a result of his efforts, he received the 2003 Carl D. Perkins award for legislative advocacy from the American Counseling Association.
