I view therapy as a partnership between us.
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.

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.

Have you been struggling to make the progress you have been wanting? Are you dealing with barriers that seem to keep coming up? Perhaps it is time to stop facing these challenges alone. I see the therapeutic relationship as one that should grow and develop along healthy lines, where effort and intentionality are important and mistakes are learning opportunities to work on those life areas that are so often neglected, covered up or avoided all together. Maybe then some of those issues don't have to be so daunting.

The clients I work best with are those people who seek change and harmony in their lives and are willing to put forth effort to overcome the obstacles to achieving it. Basically, if you have problems and you're willing to try something different, I want to work with you! Counseling is exploratory and not one-size-fits all. Being open to exploring yourself and experimenting with new ways of approaching your problems and your world are essential to progress.

In particular, I have specialized experience working with abuse, trauma, anger, veteran’s issues, first responders, family violence, substance abuse, sexual intimacy, sex addiction, and couples/ relationship.
My approach to counseling goes from being person-centered (while means using quite a bit of reflective listening) to more directive feedback, depending on what the individual requests. I do work that includes delving into the subconscious as well as typical cognitive-behavioral work. First and foremost, I will tailor my approach to your requested desires and needs.

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.

I can offer insight on the topic and help you in healing from the toxic relationship.
The most important things in life are not things they are our relationships. First is our relationship with ourself. Are you struggling with grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, job problems, love addictions, parenting issues, sex problems? Are you wanting better communications & more intimacy? Maybe your past has left you feeling insecure, shamed, resentful, or angry. Is this an old pattern or a new situation that you're facing?

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.

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.
