ABOUT US
Welcome to Her Story Womens' Mental Health Services.
Anne Hofer | PMHNP-BC, PMH-C
I have been a registered nurse since 2009 in a variety of settings including psychiatry, internal medicine, and pediatrics. I graduated in 2017 with my Masters in Nursing from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Through my educational journey, I knew that I wanted to work within the field of reproductive psychiatry and have had the opportunity to expand my knowledge and expertise in the field over the last several years working as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.
In 2021, I earned my Perinatal Mental Health Certification which represents the most comprehensive education in this specialty to date. I look forward to diving into my work in the field of women’s mental health and reproductive psychiatry in this new setting.

I am happy to announce that I am able to serve members of the armed forces and their families covered by Tricare insurance.

What To Expect
LAUREN STRUBLE | PMHNP-BC
I have worked in psychiatry since 2014, starting as a Mental Health Technician at an acute inpatient facility. After earning my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2017, I worked in acute, residential, and partial hospitalization settings with children, adolescents, and adults. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing in December 2021 and have worked as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner since early 2022.
I believe that the relationship between a provider and a patient is truly a partnership. Through education, communication, and collaboration, we will develop an individualized treatment plan focused on your unique needs and preferences for care. I specialize in working with transitional age patients (between 15 and 26 years old), helping navigate their mental health care needs while making the journey from adolescence into young adulthood. However, I do provide medication management to patients ages 13 to 55.
​
I am also licensed in Iowa and eager to serve patients living there via telemedicine.

Asking for help can be a hurdle to greater wellness in and of itself. I am so happy you are here and you’ve overcome the first challenge. As a therapist, I am here to encourage you, allowing space to process anything on your mind. This is your time to find your voice and feel empowered in the journey to overcome any difficulties that come your way. I am here to equip you with the tools to help you navigate your daily life.
​
I work with individuals using an approach that is tailored to you and the goals you are trying to obtain from therapy. I often use an integrative, multicultural, and trauma focused approach. Incorporating techniques from CBT, DBT, somatic therapy, trauma focused attachment therapy, and IFS. I have experience working with PTSD, grief, sexual abuse, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, mood disorders. I ensure this is a collaborative experience and that you are involved in the healing process the entire time.
I believe that there is no one shoe that fits all when it comes to the struggles people go through and therapy can be creative. Therapy is a journey and not a destination. I would be honored to be a part of your journey.
