Holly Cox is a therapist, coach, and writer who empowers ordinary people to seek extraordinary lives of balance and joy. She believes that each person has the strengths, resources, and deep well of creativity to build the life he or she desires. Trauma and stress can lead us to develop a powerful form of mental and spiritual amnesia about our many gifts and possibilities. Holly helps clients find new ways to reconnect to their own sense of rightness and flow.
Holly has developed her unique mix of humor and compassion in a variety of settings. Her interest in seeking a wealth of life lessons led her to stints as a photographer, journalist, valet, and secretary. She finally found her life's calling when she volunteered for a crisis counseling center one day a week. Her soul-changing experiences with those clients led her to pursue both her master's and doctoral degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy. Since then, she has worked with clients facing a wide variety of issues including depression, domestic violence, self-mutilating, and divorce.
“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.” -- Thich Nhat Hanh
If you asked 10 people off the street about therapy and the nature of hope, they might come up with something like, "Well, people go see a shrink when they have lost hope and they just can't go on like that." What would you say if you were asked that question?
I believe that hope is inherent in any intimate conversational contact between two people. Hope is, perhaps, the very spark of human communication. We have a basic desire to understand and to be understood. Good therapy helps you to deepen and enrich the relationships you have with yourself and others by nurturing the spark of hope within you. I think most people come to therapy because even when they are at their most down and out because hope still shimmers in the horizon and is reason enough in itself to seek counseling.
Quite a few of my clients are busy people with very full lives. I often fit my schedule around folks who need late appointments, or would like to meet on the weekend. When you call or email me, I'll give you a list of open time slots for that week. I never charge for a phone consultation to see if we are a good fit as therapist/client collaborators.
