Mary is wonderful- she listens, I feel heard, and truly feel that she understands me. She has a great sense of humor and shows great insight and compassion! I have appreciated my time with her, and it has helped me clarify my emotions and has validated me tremendously. I appreciate that I can now take some control, not letting those emotions to take control. By releasing them , feeling them, having validation and a safe place to express, I can now move forward in my life finally. Dr. Holtom is a blessing!!
