Getting to know Amy Holden
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience supporting patients and their families. For 11 years, I worked in a nursing home and sub-acute rehabilitation center, where I developed a strong passion for helping older adults navigate life’s transitions and the changes that can come with aging. During this time, I served as an advocate on ethics committees, facilitated support groups, and provided direct care to both patients and their loved ones.
In the years that followed, I transitioned to the outpatient mental health setting as a clinical supervisor. My diverse professional background has strengthened my clinical expertise and deepened my commitment to providing person-centered care, with a particular focus on supporting well-being and quality of life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe in providing compassionate, empathetic care that honors each person’s unique experiences and needs. My clinical approach draws on evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and solution-focused techniques. These frameworks allow me to tailor treatment to each individual, fostering resilience and meaningful progress. I have developed a client-centered approach that emphasizes trust, respect, and emotional safety. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel empowered to explore difficult thoughts and emotions without judgment. At the heart of my work is a commitment to offering direct, thoughtful support that helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As a therapist, I understand that reaching out for support can feel unfamiliar or even overwhelming. That’s why I approach every first session with compassion, patience, and a genuine interest in getting to know you—not only the challenges you’re facing, but also the person behind them. In our first session, my goal is to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I’ll begin by welcoming you and inviting you to share whatever you feel ready to discuss. There’s no pressure to dive into anything too deep right away—this time is yours, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. I may ask some gentle questions about what brought you to therapy, your goals, and any life experiences you’d like me to understand. Just as importantly, I want to learn about your strengths, values, and what matters most to you. Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or simply seeking someone to talk to, I will meet you with empathy, curiosity, and respect.
