I am part of a group practice called Attention, Behavior and Cognition Psychological Services. www.abcholden.com The person reading this might be an individual or a parent trying to get some help managing mental health symptoms that are impacting their ability to function at home, school, or the community. Feeling the burden and stressors of the world is not an ideal baseline functioning level. Needing a place to be vulnerable, without judgement and unconditional acceptance is not just ideal but a reality within our sessions.

If you are feeling bad about yourself, your friends have noticed you are not always kind to yourself, or your self-consciousness is interfering with your life in a negative way then I can help. Negative self-talk, imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, and lack of self-confidence can interfere with how we show up in the world and ultimately hold us back from where we want to be. I enjoy working with teens and adults who are struggling to navigate these challenges, whether it's due to identity, body image, anxiety, grief or something else.

Do you often feel disconnected from your emotions? Do you have difficulty communicating needs in relationships, friendships, or in the work setting? Do people often tell you that you're self-aware, but regardless of how hard you try, you're flooded with self-criticism and nothing seems to change? If any of these questions resonate, it might be a good time to consider therapy! I believe that individuals are complex with their own unique experiences and needs. In the initial sessions with me, I take the time to get to know you and what is bringing you to therapy to best tailor the therapy to meet your needs.

2 separate lines of study have revealed populations who continue to need help with their challenges. One line of research conducted mainly by Gallup since the 1980's has shown 18-37% of the US flying public is either anxious or fearful about air travel and, in 2020, a Gallup/Franklin Templeton Poll found 52% "uncomfortable about flying." The second line of inquiry has involved those who travel often for business. Managing disruptions in family routines, coping with unexpected trip changes and maintaining healthy habits have led to 30% reporting that it was a struggle to stay healthy during trips ( Bizwomen 2019)
