Holly DeVivo (she/her)

I spent two years working in hospice care and have extensive experience as a grief counselor. I have also gone through significant loss myself, so I have a high level of empathy for those who are moving through grief.

I have experience working with individuals who struggle with both seasonal and severe depression and can help clients develop the tools they need to address the root causes of their depression and create a healthy path to move forward.

I understand what it is like to struggle with anxiety and the ways in which it can take the color out of life. I work with clients to examine the thought distortions that can trigger anxiety, and help to reframe them in ways that can reduce or even eliminate anxious responses.

Our mental health impacts our physical health, and vice versa. I specialize in treatments called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and CBT for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP). These therapies allows you to address the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that can negatively impact your health, improve your overall wellbeing, and reduce the effect of chronic pain and illness.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain/illness. These struggles are very often connected and by beginning the healing process, we can improve every aspect of our daily lives. As someone with a history of trauma and chronic illness, I understand these connections very well. During your time in therapy with me, you will get someone who understands on a personal level the difficulties you may be experiencing.

Every person on the planet has experienced trauma at one time or another, so I operate from a place of no judgement or shame. Healing from trauma is less about "getting over" it and more about "walking through it." We will process your trauma on a gentle timeline that best reflects what you need at any given moment. We will debrief, decompress, and ground ourselves after processing, and you can check in with me at any time after the session, if needed.
