Holly Little Van Straaten

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who works with individuals and people in relationships navigating complex experiences. Much of my work involves supporting clients experiencing profound emotional pain, grief, trauma, anxiety, shame, anger, and relationship distress. Additional areas of focus include parenting, adoption, identity, and life transitions. I welcome people from all backgrounds including non-traditional families and relationships, such as members of the adoption triad, multiracial families, blended families, ethically non-monogamous relationships, and LGBTQA+ communities.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I aim to create a space where emotions can be explored safely, patterns become clearer, and change feels possible.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if you've had to start over before. Our first session is a chance to decide whether working together feels right.

When we meet, we'll explore what brings you to therapy, the challenges you're facing, and what you're hoping will be different. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and with greater clarity.
