Austin Holzman, AMFT
Life is a journey and each of us walks on our own path. But sometimes the path is rocky or unclear; in those cases, it can be helpful to have someone walk beside you for a time. I am here to walk with you, listen to your story and offer counsel, helping you to become your most authentic self and successfully navigate your journey through life. I use a client-centered approach, recognizing that you are the expert in your own life, and I tailor my approach to your unique experiences. I employ a combination of short-term CBT and solution-focused techniques to help with grounding and stabilization, combined with longer-term narrative and trauma-informed practices to help uncover patterns in communication and experience. For couples, I utilize Gottman techniques and emphasize communication - both explicit and implicit - to help all parties understand each other. I look forward to walking with you.

Ever since I can remember, I have always been a listening ear for those around me, and over time, I learned that my greatest skill set is being able to connect. I am passionate about helping individuals discover and recognize the strengths that live within. My clinical interests include relationship therapy for partners & individuals, perfectionism & self-esteem, anxiety & depression, and stress & life transitions. I believe in delivering non-judgmental and culturally-appropriate care to clients of all backgrounds. I understand the unnerving feelings that can come up when being emotionally vulnerable. Therefore I see immense value in building rapport, and creating a safe, and trusting environment that fosters authenticity, empathy, compassion, and a safe space for clients to be vulnerable. My therapeutic approach consists of working from a strengths-based, humanistic, person-centered approach. I pull therapeutic tools from various approaches, including CBT, DBT, psychoeducation, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. I believe the client is the expert of their life story, and I am there for guidance, support and to provide clarity amid the fog.

Everyone’s hard times look and feel differently, making therapy a unique experience. Let's be real, life is a challenge and can really suck sometimes. You may be feeling stuck, having specific struggles, such as anxiety, depression or a life transition, or experiencing grief and loss, but no matter the circumstance you are here because you are ready for change. Therapy can be that opportunity to work on whatever issues you are facing. I will be there for you providing a non-judgmental, warm space to process what you need, listening and guiding. You are not alone in this. Give yourself this time to reflect, learn, and grow. I am a client-centered therapist, however, I will use different therapy approaches and techniques tailored to your needs as we work together. Ultimately, as a therapist, I believe my job is to make myself unnecessary to you, and that will always be my goal.

I have come to recognize and accept that pain is a part of life. Things don’t always go according to plan, life is not always fair, sometimes people we love hurt us, change and endings are
certainties in life. Someone once said, “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.”
I view my role as a therapist to walk with you through life’s unavoidable difficult times. Accepting what we can’t change and changing what we have control over frees us to fully embrace the joy life has to offer. Identifying our values allows us to build a life of meaning and purpose.
My background as a nurse influences my holistic approach to mental health. Attention to our physical and spiritual needs and nurturing healthy social connections all impact our emotional
well-being. These elements are important to consider whether you are suffering with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues.
It would be my privilege to accompany you on part of this journey.

Ginger Bernard, APCC
Are you struggling or suffering more than you would like? Therapy can be the experience to help you feel understood, explore your emotions and behaviors, and discover your strengths. My goal as a therapist is to build a non-judgmental and trusting relationship that provides you the empathy and understanding that can be the support you need to grow. We should all have a place where we are accepted and understood. You may be trying to cope with a life transition, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other complex emotions, and we will work together to develop a therapeutic plan that works for you. You are the master of your path, and I’m here to join you and support you on your journey.
As a therapist, I always consider the whole person: the physical, psychological, emotional, professional, personal, cultural, and spiritual parts of you. I use culturally sensitive therapy and enjoy working with diverse backgrounds and needs. I’m drawn to mindfulness interventions like self-awareness, meditation, and I enjoy using a compassion and strengths-based approach. I’m excited to work with anyone who needs support in life and look forward to meeting you.
