New to Grow
I am Dr. Holly Thompson and I am a licensed counselor in the state of South Carolina and North Carolina. I have been in private practice for 5 years and have experience working with clients in various environments. I work to provide a safe space for all individuals looking for healing, whatever that healing looks like and often looks different for many people. I believe that everyone has value and their journey has purpose; I am here to assist in the treatment process through healthy communication, perspective, awareness.
Our first session will consist of information gathering. I will listen to the challenges that are currently being faced and provide feedback. Together, we will develop a plan for treatment that best fits the need.
I use a variety of therapeutic approaches depending on the need of the client. I offer direct but gentle feedback. I feel it is my responsibility to provide a safe space that challenges individuals to be their best.
As a counselor, my goal is to help children, adolescents, and adults find balance and self-awareness. All are welcome! During sessions, we become a team. As a counselor, I work with my client, and together we will create a treatment plan that best fits the client's goals and needs. I strive to provide a safe space to explore personal and difficult life situations. I am person-centered and tend to the needs of my clients on an individual basis. As a counselor, I understand that therapeutic techniques are not one-size-fits-all. Therefore, therapies are integrative to support the individual's needs. I serve a variety of individuals, but the most common are those who are ready for a change and willing to take the steps to enforce change in their lives.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
During session we will identify the issues and what best therapeutic approach to take based on clients needs.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Based on values, we will work towards committing to what we are trying to achieve.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We will identify thoughts and patterns and evaluate how these have developed behaviors and where we can provide perspective.
Eclectic
There is not a one size fits all approach, we may use different techniques throughout the treatment process.
