Welcome
Helix Neuropsychiatric Center is a hybrid psychiatry practice (both in person and telepsychiatry options) focused on providing evidence informed evaluation and treatment primarily in children and adolescents, but also for adults. Assessments and treatments are tailored to each patient's needs. The main goal is to achieve health and functioning by reducing the burden of illness and symptoms and emphasizing prevention and healthy behaviors.
Hi, I’m Dr. Hoftman, and I believe that medicine is fundamentally built on relationships, with the doctor-patient relationship being truly sacred. I founded Helix Neuropsychiatric Center as a safe and supportive space where you can focus on improving your mental well-being and healing from mental health challenges. Here, we utilize a diverse range of evidence-based tools and approaches to help you achieve your goals and regain balance in your life.
"Portray them [people with mental illness] in all the richness and depth of their experience as people, and not as diagnoses."

What is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS)?
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a treatment for depression for adults (15 years and above) that is effective when other treatments have failed. The exact cause of depression is not known, the leading scientific theory is that it’s caused by an imbalance of the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells.
• Therapy sessions are conducted in your NeuroStar doctor’s office
• You remain awake during treatment, and able to return to normal activities
• It’s covered by most health insurance plans, including Medicare and Tricare
