Selecting a therapist is an important decision. I believe that creating an environment where the client feels that the therapist has listened, shown empathy, and has genuine concern are some of the core conditions for a therapeutic relationship. Providing a client with helpful feedback in this safe, empathic environment promotes change and growth. A client that I work with may have a variety of concerns including having a relationship issue, going through a separation, having parenting concerns, experiencing depression, anxiety, or problems related to alcohol or drug misuse or abuse. Please visit my website www.scottholzmanphd.com.

I am passionate about working with all minorities in society, including LGBTQ+ folx. I have experience working through taboo topics, trauma, racial identity and women's issues, and am vocal about my stance on social justice when necessary. I use an integrative approach to therapy to tailor sessions to the specific needs of each of my clients. I am humanistic, person-centered in my approach and facilitate interpersonal relational work. I am always strength based and really enjoy working with Black folx & people of color, but I am willing to work with anyone who is ready to work through current life stressors in non judgmental space.

With all of the challenges that life can throw at us, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or helpless. Life satisfaction and happiness might seem like distant goals with no clear path forward to reach them. You may find that you are spending more and more time stuck in your own head, perseverating on your struggles and acting as your own harshest critic. To me, therapy rooted in compassion and empathy can be a fantastic tool for navigating these challenges and discovering meaning and self-empowerment.

Experiencing a disconnect between where you want to be and where you are in your behaviors, work or relationships can be anxiety provoking. You want to understand how your past experiences, tendencies, family and cultural values impact who you are and what decisions you make. You want to identify healthier coping strategies, and make positive changes. Yet, sometimes, it is difficult to do this on our own.

I think of my practice as a magnifying glass, one that zooms in on feelings and beliefs that are daunting to examine but painfully hold us captive every day. Too often, we are left feeling cyclically, if not perpetually, disconnected, confused, stagnant, and dissatisfied. I strive to create a collaborative and compassionate space for you to access those vulnerable parts of yourself. I also believe in the power of relationships – ones we have with others and ourselves. In addition to examining your pains in relational terms across time, we will likely explore your needs and values and the realistic ways to fulfill and embody them.

Do you find yourself feeling forced to walk the path societal standards dictate for us? Career development, dating and marriage, kids–along the path we follow no matter how we feel. But do we have to? If you were to veer off society's path, what would it look like? More importantly, would you feel differently? I enjoy helping my clients explore how they can lead a more fulfilling life by their own standards–not by the path society has laid out for us.

Living with a binge eating disorder and feeling constantly at battle with food and with your body is brutal and painful. So many messages that constantly send a message that who you are and how you look are not ok. It's time to heal..heal from the pain of the diet culture and heal from the pain of constantly blaming yourself! The dynamics that are at work in eating disorders are complex and each person has their own story of both how it began, how it has been and how they want it to be moving forward. There is a path to healing and freedom!
