PsychoEducation Groups
There are several key psychological concepts that can help all of us better understand why we think what we think, why we feel what we feel, and why other people act the way they act. Check out my Understanding Connection groups below.
How I Can Help
I became a therapist because I was once stuck, and a therapist helped me to understand what was preventing me from moving forward. Now, it is my joy to help others in the same way. I have worked for many years in private settings, treatment centers and educational settings with individuals, families and groups. I can help you find hope, healing, and happiness. Call or email anytime for a free consultation. Wishing you wellness always, Dr. Holly

10-Week Psycho-Education Groups
"Like Speed Therapy - I love
these groups" - Jason G., age 27
How can we learn to better connect to both our inner lives and the outside world? There are several psychological concepts that can help all of us, no matter our age or place in life, better understand why we think what we think, why we feel what we feel, and why other people act the way they act. Dr. Holly offers 10-week Understanding Connection psycho-education courses, both online and in-person, to help take the mystery out of being human.
In our latest group offering, Understanding Connection: A Crash Course in Human Behavior, clients learn about attachment styles, behavior patterns, and emotional motivations and master the ability to identify patterns in themselves and in others. By gaining a deeper understanding of psychology and recognizing the WHYS and HOWS of human behavior, participants can optimize their relationships, reduce anxiety and fear, and create meaningful, present-minded, successful lives. To get more information or to sign up for an upcoming Understanding Connection group, contact Dr. Holly below.
