Meet the Team

Holly Patterson, ACMHC

I work with kids, teens, adults, and parents navigating life’s transitions, stressors, and relationship challenges. I have a particular passion for supporting individuals through parenting, postpartum adjustments, and complex family dynamics.

I am trained in both play therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)—a powerful tool for children and adults who feel stuck or have found that other approaches haven’t been effective. ART is especially helpful for addressing trauma, anxiety, and grief in a focused and gentle way.

My path to therapy wasn’t linear—I’ve worked in schools, taught mindfulness, run a business, and worked as a production planner in a manufacturing facility. These experiences shape how I show up in the therapy room: grounded, open-minded, and able to connect with people from all walks of life.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered, meaning I focus on your unique needs, pace, and goals. I believe therapy works best when it meets you where you’re at, and I tailor each session to support your growth while helping you feel seen and understood.

I enjoy working with individuals who want to strengthen their relationships, improve communication, and navigate the tough stuff—whether that’s parenting stress, school challenges, or simply figuring out how to cope with life’s overwhelm.

Outside the therapy room, I’m likely walking my very large dog, trying to quiet my overactive thoughts at the gym or in the kitchen, or rowing a boat in circles while my husband fishes.

I’ve been a spouse, a single parent, a step-parent, and a worried mom—and I know what it’s like to feel stretched thin. I bring that life experience into my work, offering a space that’s authentic, supportive, and centered on you.
