“If I could add empowering, humorous, and authentic I would. She is very validating while challenging me to set achievable goals while pushing to process scary things. I feel very comfortable being vulnerable and sharing how I’m feeling and why I think I’m feeling. She is VERY GOOD at hearing everything I spew out and addresses it all, I’m very appreciative of not having to say well a) is happening and wait for a response I can say well a), b), and c) are happening and I feel this about d) and she can work through all that with me. Slowing me down after I spew it all out. Meeting me where I am to help me get to where I want to go.”

Getting to know Holly Fak

Hello, my name is Holly. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience dedicated to empowering clients to be the best version of themselves. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Chicago. My counseling style is warm, interactive, and collaborative, using a strengths-based, client-centered approach. My clinical experience includes working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I have extensive training in crisis counseling in the Emergency Department and inpatient psychiatric units. I have worked in domestic violence and provided community-based therapy to children and families. I enjoy working with new mothers, caregivers, and those working through grief and loss.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe that therapy works well when it is a collaborative process. During our first session, you can expect an easy-going conversation to build a therapeutic alliance. I believe that you are the expert of your story and I want to hear about your experience. I practice entirely over tele-health, giving us the flexibility to connect conveniently and safely.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Holly is very easy to talk to and goes out of her way to relate to her patients, often showing how her expertise with a given subject isn't just from her studies, but also from her own experiences in life. Highly recommend.
I appreciate that Holly is willing to be honest, supportive, and validating. She is incredibly empowering and relates some of my experiences with her own to make me feel more comfortable and normalize some of my biggest fears.
Holly is so compassionate and real! She is authentic and genuine. Her words and advice are tailored to your specific situation, not just a script. As a bonus, Holly has a great sense of humor! I love her!
Amazingly helpful and very invested in my situation! Only wants the best for me! listens intently and gives honest opinions! Only positive things can be said about Holly
Holly is the best and I’m so thankful I found her!! She is understanding, kind, intelligent & everything else you’d want in a therapist.
I feel a great connection with Holly. not only does she listen, but always tries to give me suggestions for things I can do at home to help improve my overall wellbeing.
