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!

Dr. Ashley Geerts-Perry
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
As a licensed psychologist, I am deeply passionate about supporting my clients in enhancing their self-worth and building on their inherent strengths. I believe in the power of rewriting personal narratives, helping clients reframe maladaptive beliefs about themselves and embrace a more empowering story. My approach is rooted in fostering emotional acceptance and guiding clients toward a life that aligns with their values.
I work from a family systems and attachment perspective, recognizing the profound impact relationships and early experiences have on one’s sense of self. I integrate psychodynamic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles to create a therapeutic space that promotes self-compassion, growth, and resilience. My goal is to help clients not only understand their past but also move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and emotional well-being.
