Holly Ann Bertram

Welcome! Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and Louisiana with more than a decade of experience supporting children, teens, adults, seniors, couples, and families. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Texas State University and my Master of Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University, specializing in Services to Families. Throughout my career, I've worked in outpatient mental health, substance use treatment, community organizations, and private practice, giving me the opportunity to support people through a wide range of life's challenges. The clients I work with often seek therapy for anxiety, emotional exhaustion and burnout, pregnancy or postpartum changes, relationship or communication challenges, grief, stress, trauma, major life transitions, and adjusting to aging, caregiving, retirement, or loss. I also work with children and teens who are struggling with anxiety, big emotions, behavioral changes, low self-esteem, school-related concerns, or difficulty expressing their thoughts and feelings. Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your relationship, or your family, I'm here to help you gain insight, build effective coping skills, strengthen your relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and hope.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I use evidence-based therapies to help reduce anxiety, improve mood, strengthen relationships, build resilience, and support lasting emotional well-being. Whether I'm working with adults, couples, children, or teens, my goal is to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you can openly share your concerns and goals. We will start by discussing your current challenges and what you hope to achieve through Therapy. I will gather some background information to better understand your situation, and together we will explore your strengths and areas you would like to work on. The initial session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the therapeutic process. My aim is to make you feel comfortable and supported as we begin your journey towards healing and growth.
