Our mission at Holding Space Psychotherapy is to create space for women and their families to feel heard, validated, and connected in a way that feels authentic to each individual.

Therapy can be a wonderful opportunity to learn more about ourselves, to compassionately examine the patterns in our lives that leave us feeling stuck or frustrated, and to ultimately strengthen our relationships.
This process of self-exploration often leads to people feeling more confident and connected to themselves and more capable of managing the obstacles in their lives.
Healing The Grief That No One Talks About

Dr. Nan Nelson is a child and adolescent psychiatrist who has been featured on multiple media outlets as an advocate for women’s health, underscoring perinatal psychiatry and mood disorders. She sits down with Juliet Clark to discuss the importance of knowing how to deal with patients, especially when it comes to handling loss and grief.
