No Fluff.
I’m Mitch Holly—Army veteran, licensed therapist, and someone who believes therapy should be a place for action. With advanced training in Gottman Method, EFT, CBT, DBT, and HeartMath, I offer targeted strategies that help you actually move forward—not just talk in circles.

Evidence-Based Tools
I use proven methods like Gottman, CBT, and DBT—not pop-psychology trends.

Direct & Compassionate
You’ll get real talk, not judgment. We dig in with honesty and empathy.

Specialized Experience
Whether it’s couples in crisis or teens shutting down, I’ve been trained to help.

One-on-One Support
This is a solo private practice—you work directly with me, not a rotating team.
