I work with individuals, families, and couples.
We are a team in this. I believe in teamwork during therapy. If the client appears to be doing most of the work, then that is extreme progress. If I as the therapist is doing most of the work, then we may need to rethink and regroup on the treatment to best fit the client. It is the client's responsibility to communicate with therapist on any issues or any adjustments that needs to be made. I want to walk alongside those who are seeking reach a better end and better livelihoods.

A trusting therapist-client relationship empowers my clients to manage challenging life situations and align their values, goals, and vision with their lives. Therapy is interactive, and I provide challenges along with a unique understanding of each person's individual life and struggles. I believe in each client's individuality and therefore, do not stick with one theory or technique. Therapy is uniquely customized for each individual, couple, and family depending on needs and personalities.

Are you looking to improve your daily life or relationship? Getting therapy is not a bad thing! Think of it as devoted time to focus on yourself, get unbiased support, and talk things out to be in a better headspace. I help individuals find solutions to feel less stuck and move forward. I also help couples and families understand each other more to meet genuine needs. You will learn communication, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills to hopefully help replace negative habits with healthier ones.

Sometimes people with the worst pasts end up creating the best futures. It is my goal as a therapist to help you reach that future. We all have struggles, failures, and regrets. The acknowledgement of having these battles is the greatest step forward. No matter what obstacles you bring to my office, you can expect to be met with non-judgement, compassion, professionalism, and authenticity. I believe that a solid and honest therapeutic relationship is the foundation for positive growth and change.

I feel very strongly that the therapeutic relationship is critical in helping clients work through their issues.
I believe that one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. You might find that you become anxious in relationships, making them difficult to navigate. Even a minor stressor can lead Lynn Holland, LPC to provide couple and individual psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, and children. As a clinician, I treat Mood and Anxiety Disorders including Depression, Bipolar, Trauma, and PTSD, in addition to Women and Relationship issues, family dysfunction, parenting, anger management, Battered Women Syndrome, communication skills, relaxation techniques, and ADHD.

There are times when stress and painful circumstances overwhelm a person's capacity to function effectively. Often, such crises also provide opportunities to understand oneself, others, and the world more deeply. I believe the therapeutic relationship provides a healing environment through which to find understanding, along with symptom relief, improved relationships and functioning, and movement toward living life in a more purposeful and meaningful manner.

Our lives are shaped by the different events we experience. Those events have great influence on our decision making process. Some of those influences may negatively impact relationships. This is true with couples, friends, family and even ourselves. We experience issues with conflict, grief, trauma, etc. and try to deal with them the best way we know how. It is a misconception that people are weak or have no faith when seeking professional help. I believe that seeking help from a therapist is a sign of strength. It is one of the bravest things a person can do.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
