Note: I am immediately available for scheduling appointments Hi! My name is Dr. Lana Holmes. I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in the metro Atlanta area. But more than that, I am a Black,
bisexual
, woman; a nerd; an Air Force brat; and a punk rocker at heart. I know that those of us who are marginalized and oppressed bear particular kinds of suffering that can be difficult to describe and understand, if you haven’t faced it. That’s why I connect my lived experiences with years of clinical education, training, and work; for a deeper and more authentic style of therapy.

Hello, there! I appreciate whole-person healing that addresses the mind, body, and soul. I believe that we are meant to live full, authentic lives. However, trauma, harm, and wounds can leave us feeling fragmented and stuck. I highly value connection with others in my life, which carries over into my counseling as I desire to create a safe, welcoming space for clients to show up as they are without fear of judgment. I am passionate about working with adults and children of all ages, as well as families from all walks of life, and witnessing their growth and development of self-confidence, grace, compassion, and emotional expression.

You are not okay. You want to be, but you don’t know how. You want someone to not just listen, but to give you real world solutions to help you move forward into the version of you who is happy, healthy, & whole. You are afraid it isn't possible. You know it will be hard & you are willing to do the work necessary as long as you have someone standing by you on this journey. You need someone to be real with you, not patronize you. You need a nonjudgmental & supportive space. You need to know that you are not alone, & it is okay to hope. I will hold that hope until you are ready to take it back from me. Let me show you the way forward.

You might have arrived here: feeling unseen, unheard, and unfulfilled in your life, struggling to break free of depression, anxiety, self-abandonment, holding back because of fear and self-doubt, finding it difficult to feel comfortable in your skin, exhausted carrying the weight & pain of the generations before you, unsure of where you belong at the intersections and in-betweens of your identity, feeling trapped by the oppressive systems that rob you of your joy, longing to feel restored, nurtured and nourished. You know you were meant for so much more than this. You deserve a life beyond struggle, scarcity, and self-sacrifice.

Are you looking for a therapist you can be yourself with? Do you identify as a gamer, a geek, or a misfit? Would you like to incorporate your fandoms into a deeper exploration of the self? Maybe you’ve tried therapy in the past with limited results. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, trauma, and addictions. I utilize techniques from Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing in my work. I also specialize in psychedelic integration for those who use plant medicines as part of their healing journey. If any of this resonates with you, I would love to work with you.

Often times current situations are a symptom of underlying past trauma that permeate our daily lives. We will work together to uncover and confront these issues. In this approach, the development of a preferred solution is more important than clarifying and directly addressing the problem.

My biggest delight comes in helping people push through (and maybe even embrace!) the messiness of being human to live a life you find fulfilling. In my work, the people who seem to experience this most intensely and find healing with this kind of therapy are: -> people who identify as LGBTQIA+, ->people who experience psychosis, ->people who identify as rebels and troublemakers,-> people who feel outcast, misunderstood, or marginalized, ->people who are living lifestyles outside the “norm.” Often people come to work on existential angst, identity exploration, breaking stigmas, anxiety, trauma, and self worth/acceptance.

Greetings everyone. Teletherapy offers the exceptional opportunity for a therapist or life coach and client to facilitate an environment that encourages understanding, clarity, and growth. In this environment the client and therapist identity areas for work, as well as create a path that leads to understanding and empowerment. What is teletherapy? Teletherapy involves the use of real-time interactive video conferencing between a therapist and client(s) to communicate and provide care remotely with the requirement of being in the same location.

Asking for help is no small task. Whether looking to help yourself, your relationship, or your children, it can be scary to take that first step. If you are like many, you have probably been debating seeking help for months, if not years. I am glad you are here and that you have taken the courageous first step towards healing. I bring deep empathy, openness, creativity, warmth, and a sense of humor to the therapeutic relationship. I believe that the therapeutic process can impact my client's ability to grow, heal, and reach their full potential.

Do you have an important decision to make and unsure of next steps? Are you having problems communicating with important people in your life? Struggling with anxiety or depression? These are just a few of the questions a person seeking counseling may ask. I've been a counselor for 20 years in Houston, having worked in employee assistance (EAP), hospitals, hospice, county health and crisis intervention. I have been a teletherapist online many years, and I'm licensed in Florida as well. My ideal client is a high functioning individual or couple who have hit a "bump on the road" of life and require brief therapy to get back on track.

My overall goal of therapy is holding you accountable in a nonjudgmental way that supports your goals, validates your efforts, and challenges you in a way that aligns with your worldview. I like to offer feedback in an objective way and suggest skills and perspectives that you choose whether or not to implement. The methodology of my approach is conversation; two people in a room trying to figure things out while utilizing various perspectives, theories, and attempts. An emphasis of my time with you is always you; your goals, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are valuable and I find exploring them in a therapeutic setting helpful.

Are you experiencing new feelings of stress or sadness and feel disconnected with who you once were? Or maybe you appear to be handling everything well, but inside you are struggling and feel like you're falling apart. I’d love to work with you on rediscovering your joy, peace, and passion.

As we navigate our lives, we are faced with life transitions. These changes can trigger anxiety, depression or other feelings. Often transitions can challenge our existing belief systems, which in turn, cause confusion and feelings of distress. Having someone who can truly listen and understand these challenges often helps us find our way to a more satisfying life. Sorting through the clutter of our lives and zeroing in on our true selves can help us optimize our happiness and contentment. Living a life in which we thrive not merely survive. In a highly confidential environment, we start wherever you feel comfortable.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
