About

Hey there! My name is Anisha Holden and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family therapist. I enjoy working with children/teens, adults, couples and families that are interested in working of differing backgrounds/cultures. My approach When working with clients it is preferable to create a collaborative relationship, that allows clients to remain the experts over their own experiences and for me to simply provide assistance in resolving difficulties/issues presented as we navigate the path. I use an integrative style, that allows for use of multiple theories or models, tailored to benefit each unique client. My focus Often, clients that are in the process of transitioning to a new stage in life are attracted to working with me. Whether it is becoming a spouse or parent, moving into a new position, graduating, or just simply changing from one state of being to another, my aim is to provide the necessary support to do so successfully. With any change, comes anxiety, depression, indecision, and so on. My job is to help you clear the path. My communication style In line with creating a collaborative environment, typically I keep an informative yet conversational tone with clients. There are times when a more directive, gently "authoritative" voice/stance is required within our work and if it is complementary to their needs. My journey to therapy I became attracted to Psychology and counseling my senior year of high school following participation in an AP psych class. Initially, I saw it as a supplemental major as the intention in college was to become a Speech Pathologist/Audiologist, which shifted after I graduated with only my B.A in Psychology. I always had a clear drive to help people and once I realized that it was possible to do that as a therapist, I decided to enroll in grad school to pursue the path. There is no greater pleasure than help someone navigate themselves.
