Therapist and Consultant for Mental Health and Wellness
Gretchen Holtz, LSWAIC
About

Life is messy. No matter if it’s intended or not, a moment filled with pain can be held in the body and mind. When more of these small moments build without a process, it can make things feel difficult to bear. Breaking down the barriers bit by bit can be freeing when examined with someone you choose to entrust your thoughts. I would like to embark on breaking down the walls with you. What you do with your discovery of each piece is up to you, and with encouragement and thoughtful therapy practices, my hope for you is to find, experience, and be the best you in the moment you accept, feel, or toss each piece of what has slowed you down.
Utilizing CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed practices, and Mindfulness, I’d like to help you bring out your best self in that moment by taking a small piece, holding it, and finding comfort in your new way of being the person you want to be in the world.
I consider myself a person who never stops learning, so when I work with you, I also will learn from you as you learn about yourself. I will be present with you in your discoveries and am always curious about what you have enjoyed in your life that has helped you get to where you are now, whether it’s video games, fandoms, or hobbies. I will always be happy to discuss Star Wars, fan-fiction, and Funko Pops—obsessions I used to consider frivolous, but now I see them as connection, coping, friendships and balance in a life I enjoy with all my being. I would like to be here for you to find your contentment, joy or just your ability to be in the moment in the way you can be in a manner that brings you comfort and hope. Let us explore that together!
