Holly Carbone

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Sacramento, California, licensed to see clients in California, Arizona, and Wisconsin. I specialize in supporting people through grief, death and dying, and recovery from cult or religious abuse — work I've done for years, including walking alongside individuals and their families through terminal diagnoses and end-of-life. If you're navigating loss, a major life transition, or healing from a controlling religious or group experience, I'd love to help you through it.

My approach is personal and steady — I walk with clients through hard seasons rather than just talking about them. With grief and end-of-life work, that's meant supporting both the individual and their family through diagnosis, the in-between, and loss itself. With cult or religious abuse recovery, I bring a deep understanding of how those experiences shape trust and identity, so clients feel truly understood, not just heard.

Our first session will feel like a warm, unhurried conversation, not a checklist. I'll ask about what brought you in, your history, and what you're hoping will be different, so I can understand your full picture from the start. You should walk away feeling heard and clear on what our work together will look like going forward.
