Makira Holder, LPC

I believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. My approach is warm, collaborative, authentic, and judgment-free, creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether that means laughing, crying, venting, sitting in silence, or having difficult conversations, there's room for it all.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, incorporating Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), trauma-informed interventions, and Expressive Arts techniques. I also use strengths-based and culturally responsive practices to ensure treatment reflects your unique experiences, identity, and goals.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, emotional challenges, and relationship concerns. While I believe in meeting clients where they are, I also believe growth sometimes requires being gently challenged to recognize patterns, shift perspectives, and take meaningful steps forward.

At The MH Word, therapy isn't about having everything figured out. It's about having a supportive space to explore, process, heal, and grow at your own pace.

Therapy Without the Taboo.
