Getting to know Holly St James

I am licensed in California with 33 years of professional experience. I have helped clients cope with addictions, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, eating disorders, motivation, and self-esteem. I also have experience working with confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to support you in that process. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of California, Berkeley, which has deeply informed my approach to therapy: uncovering the root causes and recovering the self. I prefer working with adults 25 and older and enjoy collaborating with individuals who are ready and willing to do the work. My communication style is empathetic but direct—I don’t sugarcoat things. I do not turn a blind eye to behaviors that are harmful or prevent you from reaching your full potential. I tell you the truth. My journey to becoming a therapist is long and complicated, involving trauma, dysfunction, homelessness, sexual abuse, exploitation, substance abuse, racism, domestic violence, murder, inner-city hopelessness, criminal justice, enlightenment, Christianity, education, recovery, and freedom. My goal is to help you develop a plan of action that promotes the changes you want to make and to support you in sticking to that plan.
