Deborah Holt

Dr. Deborah Holt, a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT-S, understands the critical importance of nurturing and cultivating relationships for the overall wellness of individuals and families. With a focus on preteens, teens, and adults, she believes that maintaining a healthy, intimate partnership requires intentionality and continuous effort. Conflicts are common, often stemming from diverse cultural backgrounds, personal histories, and varied communication styles, which can strain connections and ignite cycles of disconnection. Dr. Holt expertly guides couples through these challenges, helping them address issues such as infidelity, the stress of balancing work and family demands, and breaking free from unhealthy relational patterns. Her therapeutic approach emphasizes the creation of a secure, safe environment that fosters emotional engagement and promotes flexibility and closeness. Research indicates that developing secure attachments not only helps partners navigate life's adversities but also enhances their individual and relational fulfillment. Dr. Holt specializes in working with high conflict couples, high-performing professionals, and dual-career couples, all of whom seek acceptance, a sense of belonging, and a profound connection once more.
