Life stressors and traumatic events can cause anxiety, depression, and other uncomfortable emotions. I work with teens and adults who seek to understand the “why” of their emotions and behaviors, and move away from feeling hopeless, exhausted, or numb. We will work together to help you better understand yourself, discuss hard topics, and build skills to experience healing and growth.

Sometimes our journey to find our best self feel like a roller coaster ride of highs and lows. When stressors seem overwhelming, a listening ear to share difficult inner emotions can be a safe and soft place to land. Holli has decades of life experiences that have built a deeper understanding of emotional pain, and knowledge of how to cultivate motivation for change and healing. Most everyone has a life story that may need new and healthy chapters to match their higher, authentic, self. Holli had 25 years of working in the social work field serving wounded souls in search of purpose and meaning, before hanging her Therapist shingle.

I have experience on working with children, families, grief, domestic violence, postpartum depression, miscarriage, and adults who have a history of trauma. I'm bicultural, bilingual (Spanish), and experience working with diverse population. I believe that everyone has a story and courage to be the best version of themselves. I chose to become a licensed clinical social worker to help people learn, provide a space to be heard, and cope. Experiences help our personal growth, and I am passionate about helping others overcome the obstacles that can otherwise feel impossible. We all have a story worth sharing.

The majority of life can feel crappy, incomplete, and disconnected. You’re doing things you know are sabotaging your mental wellness, and yet cannot figure out how to have the energy and focus to troubleshoot new ways of coping. Who are you? What do you want out of life? What’s your purpose? I’ll bet you’ve also had therapists who loaded your sessions with their own personal issues, too much academic jargon or simply didn’t make you feel heard. In my experiences with clients, therapy has the best outcomes when you are the climber of the treacherous mountain of life, and I am simply a humble mountain guide.

In my 6 years as an advocate for victims of crime, I witnessed the impact trauma can have on the mind and the body. I am passionate about bringing awareness to the effects of trauma and am actively involved in organizations dedicated to effectively responding to and eliminating intimate partner violence and sexual assault. I understand that for many trauma survivors, healing may seem an impossible task. I believe that healing can be achieved by eliminating feelings of shame and developing effective coping skills through evidence-based treatment in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Reaching out for help is uncomfortable! Coming to therapy takes a lot of courage. The world feels heavy and hard right now. Our relationships are suffering leaving us feeling anxious, lonely, or depressed. You may feel like no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to communicate with your partner or family members. Maybe discussions turn into arguments that never seem to get resolved, leaving you both feeling hurt and alone. Perhaps you or your loved one are dealing with a faith transition and you feel lost and confused. It's hard to love so much and yet feel so distant and disconnected!

Do you find yourself struggling to communicate your feelings in an authentic way to those around you? Is setting boundaries in relationships (and sticking to them) a challenge for you? Relationships are an integral part of our lives—whether they be with colleagues at work, a partner or spouse, close friends, or our children—and maintaining these relationships takes work! Taking some time to focus on yourself and your relationships can have a tremendous impact on your mental health and overall wellbeing. The belief that every person can foster meaningful changes in their lives is central to my personal philosophy of change.

Does insurance cover therapy, prescriptions and other behavioral health services?
In general, yes. Laws in the U.S. require insurers to cover essential behavioral health care at the same level as other health care services. Most health plans require a medical diagnosis and treatments that are evidence based and medically essential. This means that life coaching and alternative therapies are not covered, nor is therapy without a diagnosis. Call the number on the back or your insurance card or visit your insurance company's website to review your Summary of Benefits. If you have insurance through your employer, your Human Resources department may also be able to answer questions.
How much does therapy cost with insurance?
The cost of therapy depends on your region, how much training and experience your therapist has, and the type of treatment. The rate for talk therapy generally falls between $100 and $250. For a client seeing an in-network provider, the cost of therapy is often similar to the cost of other health care services. Clients pay co-pays and may need to satisfy a plan’s deductible before benefits kick in.
What is the difference between In-Network and Out-of-Network insurance coverage?
An in-network provider has contracted with an insurer to get paid directly for services, and to accept the insurer’s rate of compensation. Clients are responsible for deductibles and copays. If a therapist is out of network, that means that the client pays the therapist directly for services at the therapist’s regular fee. Out-of-Network providers often give clients a receipt so that they can file for partial reimbursement with their insurance company.
Is it difficult to find an In-Network therapist?
It is not unusual for therapists to limit the number of insurance patients in their practice, so it’s important to check in-network availability when you schedule your first appointment. In regions and times where therapy is in high demand it may take longer to get scheduled with an in-network therapist.
What is the difference between HMO and PPO insurance plans?
HMO health plans only cover in-network services, there is no reimbursement for out-of-network providers. PPO plans often cover both in- and out-of-network services, though the client may pay more for out-of-network services.
What is a Superbill?
A superbill is a receipt for therapy services. It provides all the information required by insurance companies to reimburse you for out-of-network services, including the diagnostic codes for your care, the amount paid, and the dates and duration of care.
Does insurance cover Online therapy?
Many therapists who shifted their practice to online therapy during the pandemic have kept that arrangement. And most insurers continue to cover telehealth services, with a few exceptions. Preventive care (such as an annual depression screening) is often required to be in-person to be covered, and some states require prescribers of controlled substances to see those patients in person.
Does insurance cover Group therapy?
Many insurance plans provide coverage for group therapy provided there is a medical diagnosis for group members, but there are some noteworthy exceptions. For example, Medicare does not always cover group therapy. Group therapy tends to cost less than individual therapy.
Does insurance cover Couples therapy?
Most insurance companies do not cover the cost of couples therapy because there is no medical diagnosis or medically necessary treatment. However, a few plans will offer a limited benefit, so it is still worth checking with your insurance company. Sometimes therapy is covered for a couple when one person has a diagnosis and another family member joins them for joint therapy, but it is considered therapy for the medical condition that includes a family member as a listener or helper, not couples counseling. Without insurance, most clients pay between $100-300 per 60-90 min session for couples therapy. Often clients can find classes or workshops that make it more affordable to work on their relationship. And some employers offer benefit plans that help defray the cost of couples therapy.
