Description
My name is Dr. Temara Holt and I am a Counseling Psychologist, Trauma Expert, and Sex and Gender Affirming therapist.
Our identities impact every aspect of our lives, so my intersectional approach dives into how cultural diversity, gender and sexuality, and family values have shown up in our relationships and lived experiences. I approach therapy from a collaborative lens, challenging the roles of power and dominant narratives on our functioning and interpersonal relationships. You are the expert of your story, and together we will rewrite your narrative, mending your relationship with yourself and others.
This process involves learning to trust yourself again, recognizing the strength of your voice, and reclaiming pleasure in all aspects of your life. I value vulnerability and honesty when working with clients and believe that a collaborative approach to therapy is a great recipe for success. When you are able to lean into the process of healing, you also learn to push past avoidance and maladaptive coping skills. In this space you can now look forward to a life worth living, trauma free. This journey to healing isn’t easy, but it is worth it.
I hold a doctoral degree from the University of Houston and am a Licensed Psychological Associate (TX License #39412) and Provisionally Licensed Psychologist working under the supervision of Justine Kallaugher, Ph.D. (TX License #37662).
