Dr. Hofmann’s research interests include self-compassion, effective clinical intervention with at-risk and court-involved adolescents, trauma-informed services, and teaching medical residents to effectively identify and manage adolescent depression in their patients.
In her free time, she reads voraciously and runs long distances for fun.
"The small class sizes and thoughtful professors make studying psychology at Eckerd great. The professors here have really shaped my journey at Eckerd, and have provided me with multiple opportunities to get involved with their research when I’ve reached out to them."
