We used Holly for our son over a couple year time period. He was experiencing a lot of behavior problems at school and home. We were also dealing with family grief, and had an unstable home life. She worked with us individually and with our son, and guided us to receive additional resources. Together with those resources and consultations from Holly our family has been able to heal over the last couple years. She had very keen suggestions, and our very anxious son was always delighted to go to her office. He loved the closet of treasures. She was an advocate for him with us as well. She was good medicine. I would recommend her to anyone with concerns about their child.
Holly saw a family member today who less than 8 weeks ago found his wife dead from a horrific, accidental fall outdoors. He has been really struggling with grief and post traumatic stress from the circumstances surrounding her death. I called Holly to make the appointment for him and should have known when she never offered any condolences or sympathy for him what he was in for. I certainly didn't expect she would be cold and indifferent to him at the appointment, but she was. But that wasn't even the worst. It was her bluntly mentioning suicide as an option for getting through his grief that really sent him over the edge. When he asked if she had seen other patients who have experienced what he has and how they were doing she answered yes, she had, and some are no longer here because they chose to take their own lives. Hmmm, I wonder why. This woman is crazy and in my opinion should have her license taken away. To speak to someone as vulnerable as he is in the manner in which she did is inexcusable. It makes me wonder how many other grief-stricken people she has "counseled" in this same way. It's frightening.
