Holly Winston

I became a Counselor as a second career after working in corporate marketing, raising a family, and experiencing firsthand the value of therapy during different stages of life. Those experiences shaped my belief that growth and resilience can be developed at any age. I create a calm, welcoming space where clients feel respected, supported and empowered to move toward meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in downtown Kirkwood, Missouri. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting, divorce, chronic illness, and personal growth.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with somatic and neuroscience-informed approaches to help clients better understand patterns, regulate emotions, and build resilience. Therapy with me is focused on practical tools, self-awareness, and creating lasting change.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and determine whether we're a good fit. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and the experiences that shape your current challenges. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of next steps.
