Judy Holland
Judy Holland, LCMHC, MA, DCC, CCT, EMDR. Judy believes that each person is unique, and is flexible in her approach to each client's needs. She specializes in trauma and trauma related disorders. This includes PTSD, crisis, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, loss, child sexual abuse, low self-esteem, low self-worth, and other trauma related symptoms. Judy enjoys helping people overcome these issues and seeing them move on with their lives.
Law enforcement, fire, EMS, prison workers, and other emergency workers and people attached to these workers often go untreated after dealing with crisis and trauma daily. Their families often suffer as well. As a former law enforcement officer and trainer, I understand the needs of these workers and their families and how hard it is for them to reach out and ask for help.
She has a Masters in Licensed Professional Counseling and am trained in EMDR, a Certified Trauma Specialist, Distance Counseling, and she is a certified hypnotist. She is also an Animal Assisted Therapist and my co-therapist has a wet nose! Of course, working with the dog is optional.

Max
Hi, my name is Max. I am a boxer mix and have become a bit spoiled by my new people. I was abandoned and was being walked into the euthanasia room when a volunteer pulled me and took me home with her. That home did not go so well for me, but fortunately Judy had been calling rescues looking for a dog. She was looking for a female, short tailed, English Boxer mix (ha ha ha) but she agreed to foster me after it was revealed that I was in danger where I was. It took a little bit and I had to learn that I had to share Judy with some other people. I wasn’t very happy about that but now I love all of them. I am a gentle, people loving dog now and if I walk past you I will probably stop and wait for you to pet me. When I went to training they gave me treats to do some simple things and I fooled them into thinking that I was trying hard. My family thinks my face is something called expressive and that I should have my own media page.
I went from being a dog no one cared about to a dog that gets to come to work with his mama and get petted all day. Judy calls this work. I like work, I get to sleep when I want to, I get to socialize with other working dogs, get petted all day and some people give me treats. What a life!
