Emily Holley

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy that empowers clients as experts in their own lives.

I take care to engage in treatment in a way that creates a safe and validating environment for my clients. I have experience working in community-based social services and crisis mental health settings. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma and have 8 years of experience treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, bipolar disorders, and OCD.

I have a particular interest in treating the effects of Religious Trauma Syndrome and those affected by spiritual abuse. If you feel you have been left hurt and confused after leaving a controlling religious organization, you are not alone. I am not a faith-based therapist and am happy to welcome clients in all stages of the questioning and deconstructing process.

TRAINING & EDUCATION

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work, both from The Ohio State University. I utilize a variety of evidence-based interventions including for an approach tailored personally to each client. I believe that each client is an expert in their own lived experience and that a collaborative approach to therapy is necessary to empower clients and promote sustained healing.

I specialize in the following modalities:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
