Holly Shumway - Professional Therapist

Healing Professional Therapy

I believe that individuals have the inner resources necessary to achieve optimal wellness. Unfortunately, challenging situations can undermine our ability to experience emotional stability during our most vulnerable times. Therapy provides a safe environment to examine and slow down negative self appraisals, regulate emotions that can feel overwhelming, and create more effective ways to gain new perspective to counter reoccurring patterns of emotional reactivity.  Through therapy, I can help you foster an ability to integrate emotional responses and better understand why defensive adaptations arise around them, strengthen your self awareness, and help you master emotional responsiveness.

Therapeutic Approach

My approach to treatment comprises an integrative model of therapy that encompasses cognitive-behavioral modalities, body centered work, and expressive and creative therapies to reconnect to self and manage emotional responses to life’s often complex challenges.  My clients discover a deep level of integration and interconnectivity they then carry forward into their lives connecting with others in more productive ways. I utilize the counseling environment to create a sense of safety to foster emotional healing.
