Holly Laffer, LCSW
About me
I've wanted to be a clinician as far back as memory provides and have been living this dream for almost 10 years! I have extensive training in severe trauma and abuse and love to help others work through the negative things that life has thrown their way. I know how hard depression, grief, loss and anxiety can be and I have my whole heart set on working with those who need some help to see the light and need encouragement to make it through the day.
I want to help others learn to manage everyday life as well as those days that feel just too difficult to conquer. I will work with you on changing negative thought patterns into positive ones that will then in time, change actions and behaviors. I have also done years of couples and family counseling and aim to help smooth out rocky relationships and focus on an increase in positive communication.
I am non-judgmental, patient, empathic and kind and am hopeful to help others feel even a little better today than the day before, which is all we can really ask for.

Holly is caring and kind. She has given me support, and encouragement, and tools to help put some of my life experiences in perspective. She knows when to offer new ideas and strategies and also when to just let me say what I need to say. She is a superhero!

Holly is a wonderful counselor!! She really listens to you and offers practical and logical advice. I was very timid about participating in counseling but Holly made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I feel like I'm talking to a dear friend.
