Amy L. Holdbrooks, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, ALC, BSW
Many believe expressing your feelings is a sign of weakness, creating a stigma surrounding mental health. However, the exact opposite is true! Knowing when to ask for help shows courage, strength, and wisdom. Physical and emotional health are tightly intertwined. When we know precisely what is wrong, we can face the problem head-on, allowing us to see firsthand that knowledge is power!
I was first introduced to depression and anxiety through a wiry, slightly rumpled, highly cantankerous psychology professor when I was only 19 years old. I will never forget that lecture as long as I live. As he presented the 'day’s topic,' he peered intently around the room as if he could read our very thoughts. Then, he threw down his book and left the room without warning, leaving us there in stunned silence. After what seemed like an hour (probably only five minutes), he returned with 25 lb. weights strapped to each arm and leg and a pack filled with two 50 lbs. fastened to his back. As he began to lecture, he proceeded to pace up and down each row of the classroom. He was not a young man, and as he talked, he became winded and was forced to stop and catch his breath. He was an excellent orator, by history, but on this day, he seemed entirely out of his comfort zone. He was confused, preoccupied, stressed, and somewhat fragile. As the class concluded and we began to slowly make our way to the door, the professor said, “Oh, and by the way, living with depression and anxiety is much like trying to do a simple daily task with over 200 lbs. of weight strapped to your very soul. Now, go and have a good evening.”
Having struggled with depression and anxiety throughout my adult life, and now as a counselor, I will have to say that the professor’s illustration was prophetically spot on! In fact, it was brilliant!

Clinical Health Practitioner, Board-Certified Life Care Planner
Dr. Christopher A. Lowery, DHSc, CLCP is board-certified, specializing in international telehealth life care planning with a focus on clinical health, rehabilitation counseling, biopsychosocial issues, and global health promotion and prevention issues through the use of holistic evidence-based approaches using a Biopsychosocial Health Consultation Model and the Universal Neurodiversity Continuum (UNC) Model™. Dr. Lowery is skilled in the use of targeted plans, assessments, and developing treatments for behavioral health disorders (e.g., anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotional regulation, employment, trauma, conduct disorder, anger, substance use, etc.), medical conditions (e.g., chronic pain, burns, high blood pressure, inflammation, lung diseases, and diabetes, etc.), and health behavior changes (e.g., weight management, informed health decisions, occupational health prevention, physical activity, disparities, preventive nutrition, tobacco cessation, risky sexual activity, accident prevention, etc.). Other services also provided are catastrophic and disability case management, and non-expert (lay) witness or non-testifying expert litigation support regarding associated disabilities and/or health impairments.
The Universal Neurodiversity Continuum (UNC) Model™ established by Dr. Lowery, is an evidence-informed framework that understands cognitive, emotional, and behavioral traits as existing along a continuum across all individuals.
