Dr. Holly Schleicher, PHD

Instead of getting to know me, Holly Schleicher used assumptions driven by her internalized unconscious bias in lieu of asking clarifying questions or communicating what she understood from what I said. I left every appointment feeling worse than I did walking in. She made the focus of our therapy 'building resiliency,' assuming all medical problems are a failure of individual resilience instead of drawing attention to the examples of resilience in my lived experience, damaging my self-esteem. She made the goal of each session to emotionally dysregulate me, which bled over into my daily life, leaving me too exhausted to function. I found myself dreading and avoiding therapy. I felt I had to walk on eggshells each session while dealing with her insistence on 'getting her patients to cry.' Not the therapist for me.

Very personable. She really listens, validates, and assists with identifying the causes behind ones thoughts and actions in order to help resolve issues.
