Annie Holleman (she/her)

I provide assessment and evaluation services for a wide variety of concerns in children and adolescents including autism, anxiety, depression, cognitive ability, and learning difficulties. I use a collaborative assessment model to help parents better communicate with and understand their children, and to help children and adolescents better understand themselves.

No one is immune from experiencing grief and loss. Often love is at the center of our grief experience, and, because life is complicated, it usually has many other feelings tied into it as well. Whether you are experiencing the loss of a loved one, a hope for the future, or another form of grief, I would be honored to support you in your healing.

We experience challenging feelings for a reason. I find that ACT helps to make peace with these inner experiences and allows you to move forward in your life.

We can be really mean to ourselves! Cultivating a nonjudgmental, self-compassionate approach to your thoughts and experiences helps to shift this energy towards healing.

Some brains are wired to notice what could go wrong more than others. And when we have brains that are wired that way, it’s hard to know what to do to make it better. Unfortunately, many of the things we try, like distracting ourselves and asking others to reassure us, can make anxiety worse. I work to teach you a new approach to your anxiety that allows you to free up your time and energy for the things that matter to you.

Whether your child/teen is experiencing anxiety, disruptive behaviors, difficulties in school, or another concern, or you would like some new positive parenting strategies, I am here to support your family's growth. When working with children, I collaborate closely with their parents and caregivers in order to practice new skills outside of therapy.

Unfortunately, trauma is much more common than we want to acknowledge. When I work with clients to address the impact of trauma, we first have to build safety, self-compassion, social support, and skills in managing intense emotions. We work to make sense of your story and to unlearn unhelpful patterns. This can feel like a scary journey, and it’s important that you feel supported and safe along the way.

Challenges with focus, organization, procrastination, and just keeping your life together. Many people experience these challenges independently, but many that find they have it along with or following anxiety or trauma. This makes it hard to get the things done you need to do and many feel shame that they’re struggling. I will work with you to problem solve and learn skills to make life easier.

How we relate to others is a key aspect of mental health. Some say that relationship health is mental health! I find it crucial to keep relationships and community in mind as we work through a client's concerns.
