Treatment Inquiries

Finding the right therapist is both an art and a science, both for the clinician and client alike! Research on the therapist-client relationship shows us that the quality of the reliance or bond between the two is the most predictive factor in clients improving from psychotherapy. Certainly, you want to find a therapist who is skillful in helping with issues you want to work on, but as important as finding someone you feel you can ‘connect’ with. It is important for the therapist to have good listening and communication skills, empathy, and a sense of humor comes in handy as well at times! Because finding the right therapist is a matchmaking process, Dr. Holman encourages clients to ‘shop around’ to find the right fit.

Dr. Holman welcomes phone consultations at (650) 323-6757 at no charge to determine whether on a preliminary basis her skills fit what the client is looking for. Feel free to leave an email to inquire about a phone consult or to make an initial appointment.
