Holly Desantis

My communication style

Engagement, understanding, empathy, and a sense of calm are what I offer in each session. I am an in-tune, active listener and foster connections that enhance the therapeutic relationship. The sense of connection and understanding is vital to your success.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have had a strong interest in the welfare of others. I have found myself drawn to learning about the depths of people's lives and how their experiences and emotions shape the way they see themselves and the world. People close to me refer to me as the calming voice of reason, so I hope to bring this energy to my sessions with you.

My goals for you

My intention is to create a space where you don't feel overwhelmed or pressured to make huge accomplishments. Building trust and connection is important to me. My goal is to work together to establish your therapy goals and create an environment that makes them relatable and realistic.

Our first session

During an initial session, you can safely unload your thoughts, concerns, feelings, stressors, or general day-to-day experiences. The first sessions would mainly be you talking about how you've been experiencing life lately, with me asking questions for clarity. I hope to create a connection that leaves you feeling understood and at peace.
