Holly Hemminger, LCSW

Philosophy of Care

Holly is a licensed clinical social worker in the state of New Mexico with about six years of experience in direct clinical practice. Holly’s experience has included work with families, couples, and individuals who experience anxiety, depression, relationship, and family issues among other things. Holly is a good fit for those clients who want to learn more about what they are going through and are ready to invest in the work to make changes in their lives.

Holly utilizes solution-focused and systems-based approaches while implementing such strategies as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-centered therapies. Every client is an individual and so approaches are tailored to each client’s specific needs and desired treatment outcomes.

In Holly’s structured approach for working with clients, Holly begins with getting to know where the client is coming from in the understanding that the client is the expert in their own situation. Once a thorough understanding is established and connections have been explored, Holly then offers education and insight in how symptoms have likely developed and why. Lastly, Holly helps the client to shift focus to what a client would like to change with the idea of, “what do we want to do with that information?”. From there, Holly offers the tools and support to help clients achieve the changes they desire.
