Keren Holt, LICSW

I am committed to supporting individuals as they cope with challenging life experiences, identify patterns of thought and behavior that may no longer serve, deepen insight into the self, and reduce the burden of individual and collective trauma on the psyche. Common concerns include depression, anxiety, identity/life transitions, the impact of trauma, whether single-event or chronic developmental wounding, adjusting to parenthood, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and sensitive care for individuals experiencing infertility, and all types of reproductive loss. Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and client-focused, drawing from attachment theory, psychodynamics, cognitive behavioral therapy, parts work, EMDR, and trauma-sensitive mindfulness. I believe in the power of relational connection in therapy, in telling our stories, and being heard by a non-judgmental, compassionate other. I balance a practical, one-step-at-a-time approach, with the deeper, often more theoretical work of self-discovery. Your needs, goals, and values create the guide to our work together.
