MEET THE THERAPIST
Dr. Holli Stewart
My name is Dr. Holli Stewart, and I have enjoyed helping clients of all ages for 30+ years. My specialties include play therapy, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety with panic, family conflict (such as past or current abuse, domestic violence, and reunification), depression, chronic pain, OCD, anger, substance abuse, and co-dependency.
My office is strictly confidential and has a genuine commitment to the betterment of our clients and our community. Our skills and training are at the top of our field; we have generations of experience while also remaining abreast of recent times. We provide telehealth and in-person sessions based on each person’s specific needs. So reach out today with any concerns you may have!

Why Psychotherapy?
Unless you have tried counseling before, you might believe that it is only for others. Why tell personal things to a stranger? The fact is that when you need to talk, you need someone who is objective and understands your concerns. You need someone who will truly listen without judgment. Most importantly, you need someone who will keep things confidential—a professional who has specialized training and experience to deal with your particular concerns.
