"At its core, therapy is about supporting a life lived with awareness and choice, which is not only the best way to honor it, but also to meet the suffering that comes with it. Jung says: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". In a way both are true; the family we're born into, and life's events impact us deeply, and we can learn and grow through our experiences, the good and the bad, as opposed to letting them trap or control us. We can all lead lives consciously and choicefully."

"If you are feeling unable to be the way you want to be, because you're depressed, anxious, too aggressive, too shy, can't concentrate, can't sleep, or have relationship difficulties, I would like to help you. I bring 30+ years of working with people who have struggled with such issues. In addition, as a faculty member of the University of Michigan Medical School Department of Psychiatry and the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute, I have taught courses in the treatment of anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, and treatment of adult survivors of childhood abuse, for which I have received teaching awards."

"If you are reading this, you've probably encountered a stressful situation that appears unsolvable on your own. Maybe there is a seemingly irreconcilable issue existing within your family; perhaps you have been traumatized by abuse; or you simply need guidance for life's difficult decisions. Whereever you are on the spectrum, I'm here to let you know that there is hope; and there is help. With more than 5 years of counseling experience (and 5+ years in informal counseling environments), I am committed to helping people transform their lives and relationships through strength-based therapeutic interventions."

""Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind!" We all fight social & emotional battles from time to time. For some of us those battles are more frequent. If you are ready to start making changes by building new skills, strategies & understanding your needs, then therapy maybe in your future. Making the first move to seek treatment can be difficult, but the outcome of your decision can provide a lifetime of social & emotional peace."

"My practice involves treatment for adults and children using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques along with integrative therapy that employs body and mind approach based on each client's specific needs. The counseling process is a journey to gain awareness, to restore sufficient inner strengths, and to heal the pains, which enable one to make desired changes for life. I use listening skills and apply stress reducing and relaxing skills to assist you gaining your own valuable awareness of circumstance, strengthening your capacity to restore your inner resources toward the concrete steps you can take to make positive changes."

"All of us encounter challenges in life that can at times overwhelm us. Therapy provides a safe place to process confusing emotions, get objective feedback, learn effective ways to cope and heal. If you feel like you continue to experience the same challenges no matter what you try you may be starting to think things will never change. Please don't give up hope. I would be honored to come along side of you to help you to recognize your strengths, cope with the challenges you are facing, heal from past hurts, and find what brings you joy."

"If you or a loved one feel persistently depressed, disappointed or anxious, if you're struggling in relationships or can't move forward in work or school, therapy can be a life-changing opportunity. Therapy is a uniquely safe way to deal with troubling and painful feelings, and to resolve the inner issues that get in the way of fulfilling life goals. With 25 years professional experience, and with advanced training not only in clinical psychology but in psychoanalysis as well, I have been privileged to help many to find greater success and contentment in their lives."

"I am a generalist psychotherapist who practices within an explicitly feminist-multicultural framework that privileges cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and ACT-based interventions. My clinical approach positions meaning and values as core orientations in navigating life's hardships, as I believe times of difficulty may function as moments for profound connection, transformation, and hope. I work collaboratively with clients to develop practical skills for alleviating current distress while also addressing underlying social, emotional, and relational factors that might get and keep them stuck."

"Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, past traumatic experiences or memories? Do you wish you had some additional support, coping skills or life strategies? I help my clients let go of fears, establish strong boundaries, and create healthy new relationships. I assist my clients in developing more self-awareness, self-confidence and emotional connection to themselves and others. I would be happy to schedule a free phone consultation with you to determine if I would be a good fit for you and your needs. You deserve to find satisfaction for yourself and in your relationships."

"Finding a good "fit" with a therapist can have a significant impact on achieving a successful outcome. I strive to help each client discover and harness their unique strengths in addressing their problems. With children, intervention is orientated toward problem-solving family therapy. A cognitive-behavioral approach is often utilized when working with adults and teen. Psychological, and Neuropsychological Evaluations are intervention-focused. Tests chosen are "sensitive" to the diagnostic concerns and guide treatment. I help develop and implement practical behavioral management and social support strategies in real life situations, including the home , classroom or work ."

"The individuals, couples, and families with whom I work are generally interested in understanding and addressing not only certain specific, emergent problems such as those associated with adjustment and relationship difficulties, depression, and anxiety, but also the underlying thoughts, feelings, and behavioral and relational patterns that have contributed to the development of these emergent problems. Through a collaborative, empathic process, these individuals and couples are able to expand and utilize their skills, strengths, and self-understanding in order to live more meaningful and rewarding lives."

"Do you struggle with anxiety and depression? Are you tired of searching for relief? I know how it feels, because I've been there and I've made it out the other side. I want to help you do the same. Because life can get crazy, I offer ONLINE therapy. Here are some things clients have said about me as a therapist: "Any person would be lucky to have a mentor and counselor like Holly." "Her therapeutic approach is real and practical-It has been several years, but I still use tools I gained from our sessions.""

"Everyone struggles with their feelings, relationships, expectations and happiness at times in their life. Are you feeling conflicted, confused or angry? By recognizing behavioral patterns and learning how to change these, you can find more happiness in your life and relationships. With over eighteen year of experience in owning and operating an in-home child care center, I have a understanding and knowledge about family issues and relationships."

"Perhaps you are finding yourself in a place where there are things about your life that you would like to change. Perhaps you are struggling with challenging symptoms, situations or people and need a helping hand as you navigate difficult times. Maybe you'd like a safe place to talk and gain insight. I am a fully-licensed clinical psychologist, and I would be happy to help. I have extensive experience working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction, stress, and relationship problems."

"Welcome! I believe at some point in their life, everyone needs someone to talk with and encourage them as they navigate and grow. As a psychotherapist, it is my goal to create a safe, judgment-free environment for you to explore your current issues. I will be there to help you navigate as well as support and challenge you. It is my belief that therapy is most effective when it is a team effort and it is my hope that we will work together to help you overcome whatever struggles you may be experiencing."

"Are you tired of feeling alone, unsafe, too much on your own? Do you long for human connection and support rather than turning to 'things' to feel better? Exploring the meaning of your experiences can help you get free even from longstanding isolation or depression. I have specialized training and experience working with voice-hearing, extreme states, and 'psychosis', as well as low mood or feelings of disconnection. Acceptance and choice can be more helpful than med-centered, directive responses. Even the most confusing or painful symptoms can often be understood with patience and someone on your side."

"I approach therapy with empathy, compassion, and a sense of humor. I believe in providing a safe, nonjudgmental, and open space for all individuals. I am open to new and different ideas from clients and I hope to build a meaningful connection with each person. Much of my work has been focused on providing affirming care to transgender individuals. I believe in self-determination and advocating for people who may need support in different parts of their lives, including transition support."

"Change is the only true constant in life. Most change does not happen without some type of catalyst. The catalyst can cause conflict or an internal struggle that leads to change. When we struggle with emotional, mental, behavioral, spiritual, or health issues, we can feel anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, family conflict, divorce, or other traumatic experiences affect how we see ourselves and life in general. I am committed to work with you as you develop positive coping skills to successfully implement healthy changes in your life. Each person has their own unique perception of their life experiences."
