About me

Hi, I’m Anita! Congratulations on taking the first step on your wellness journey! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both California and Tennessee. I have over 20+ years in the mental health field, working with various clients to assist them with their transformative journey utilizing cognitive behavioral techniques. In sessions, we will take a closer look into how your thoughts influence your feelings, which then impact your behaviors.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and I will ask a myriad of questions to dive into the specific challenges that brought you to therapy. This will help me develop a therapeutic plan for us to identify how we will work together in our follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked in the mental health field for more than 20+ years, I bring a wealth of knowledge and therapeutic support to my clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with adults who need assistance in managing their depression, bipolar disorder, life stressors, women’s health, and career challenges. I welcome the opportunity to work with you and assist you on your therapeutic journey by being supportive, offering a warm and safe space for personal growth, and providing a path forward for you to develop tools to lead a fulfilling life. I look forward to meeting you and working together to meet your goals.

She lightens the mood with humor, provides a comfortable space to open up. Challenges my limiting beliefs.

I always wanted to have a Black Woman therapist. Dr. Holmes is so inviting and easy to talk to. I feel like she can relate to me and my problems.
