“I bring my full self to this work. With directness and sensitivity, I try to keep it as real as I can so we can grow in trust and connection. I’m grateful that people open up to me about their struggles and I admire the courage it takes to start therapy and feel better.”
A. Holman
“I have a wide range of experiences working with adults, children, and families across clinical, community, and school settings. I am committed to supporting equity and fairness and my clinical approach attends to the significant roles that intersecting identities and societal forces contribute to mental health. Through the therapeutic relationship, I offer my whole heart to support clients’ greater self-awareness, self-advocacy, and self-compassion. I bring a spirit of curiosity and sincerity to help clients feel better and understand themselves more fully.” -Dr. Alea Holman
