Biography

Qualifications & Experience

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management with a minor in Economics from Empire State University and a Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University.

My Call to Christian Counseling

Most of my adult life I spent selling real estate and development properties in New York City. It was often one of the biggest investments that many of my clients would make, and the experience was often psychological in nature. It gave me an appreciation for being with others and supporting them while they are being challenged and making choices that would change their lives. Through this work, I developed a deep appreciation for walking with people through moments of uncertainty and transformation. Over time, I felt drawn to more intentionally support others on a personal level, and becoming a counselor has been a natural next step.

More About Me/On a Personal Note

Spending time with my family, being outdoors, hiking, surfing, and gardening are things I enjoy doing. I also enjoy reading, studying the Bible, playing card games, making herbal medicine, and preserving summer foods. A few years ago, I began a Naturopathic Doctor program at Bastyr University, where I enjoyed learning about herbal sciences and nutrition. This is always something I’ve been interested in and it continues to be an interest, combining a love for nature, family, and health in meaningful and fulfilling ways.

Professional Development

The pressures, doubts, and decisions that come with professional life is something I know well. I’ve walked with people through high-stakes, life-changing moments, and I know how emotional those experiences can be. In counseling, I help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. Whether you’re seeking clarity, confidence, or a healthier work-life balance, I offer a space where you can reflect, grow, and develop actionable strategies – both practical and faith-driven to help you move forward with purpose and peace.

Women’s Issues

As women, we face unique pressures – balancing roles, managing expectations, and often putting others first. If you’re feeling emotionally exhausted, unsure of your identity, or disconnected from yourself or God, I want you to know you’re not alone.
I offer a confidential, nonjudgmental space to process your story, reconnect with your identity in Christ, and heal the parts of you that have been neglected. Together, we’ll gently uncover the areas of your life that need attention and healing. Through a compassionate and faith-based approach, I’ll help you rediscover your voice, embrace your worth, and create space for peace, joy, and transformation.

Individual Counseling

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin – and that’s okay. Individual counseling is a confidential, one-on-one space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and life challenges. Whether you’re navigating stress, sadness, relationship struggles, or simply seeking clarity, I’ll walk alongside you with empathy and grace. My approach integrates clinical tools with biblical truth to help you gain insight, find healing, and grow into the person God created you to be.

Codependency and Anxiety

If you find yourself overly focused on others’ needs, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling anxious in your relationships, you may be experiencing codependency. I help clients untangle these patterns and move toward healthier, more balanced ways of relating. Together, we’ll work to build your sense of identity, self-worth, and peace, grounded in who you are in Christ. You’ll learn to manage anxiety, reclaim your voice, and cultivate relationships that are rooted in mutual respect, not fear or obligation.

Counseling for Teens

Adolescence is a time of growth, identity formation, and often confusion. If your teen is facing anxiety, low self-esteem, school issues, or family conflict, I offer a supportive space where they can feel safe to express themselves and explore what’s going on internally. Teens often feel pressure to figure everything out, and I provide a space where they don’t have to. I use a warm, respectful approach that helps teens feel seen and understood while equipping them with tools for emotional regulation, confidence, and faith development. My goal is to support both teens and their families as they grow through these formative years.

About Biography Services Payment

I’ve been blessed to work with Holly White for the past year. I have found her caring, empathetic, and wise. And while working with me she has proven to be patient and trustworthy in helping me on my journey to personal awareness. She’s brings with her a positive energy and is an absolute Delight.

I am incredibly grateful for Holly, with Bothell Christian Counseling, and the support she has provided throughout my healing journey. At 52 years old, I have carried the weight of trauma for most of my life, including sexual trauma, domestic violence, and years of struggling to find happiness while still striving to succeed.

Working with Holly has truly changed my life. She has helped me see things from a different perspective, change the way I think, process difficult emotions, and develop healthier ways of viewing myself and the world around me. Through her compassion, guidance, and professional expertise, I have found healing, growth, and hope.

Holly creates a safe, supportive environment where I feel heard, understood, and encouraged. Because of her help, I am stronger, more confident, and better equipped to move forward in life.

I highly recommend Holly to anyone seeking a therapist who is caring, insightful, and genuinely committed to helping people heal and thrive.

Thank you, Holly, for helping me reclaim my life and believe in a brighter future.

Holly was lovely to have as a counselor. She is kind in the way she acts and speaks. She provides an atmosphere that is comfortable for sharing. She is knowledgeable during discussions. And, I felt understood while sharing with her. I think she would work well with anybody, as it felt our weekly meetups naturally changed to meet my comfort and speed.

Working with Holly has truly been such a blessing. From the very beginning, I have felt encouraged, supported, and reminded of God’s goodness in such a meaningful way. Holly brings so much compassion, wisdom, grace, and faith into the work she does, and I am incredibly grateful that God placed her in my path during this season of my life.

The more I have had the opportunity to work with Holly, the more thankful I am for her heart and the way she allows God to work through her. I feel very blessed to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, faith-filled biblical counselor.

100% recommend Holly White through this counseling center. I started working with Holly during one of the hardest seasons of my life. I was struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety, much of which stemmed from a very difficult period in my marriage and the complicated family dynamics surrounding my mother-in-law during my postpartum stage. Although my MIL was no longer actively present in our day-to-day life by the time I began counseling, the emotional impact of that period stayed with me for a long time. Even a year after giving birth, I was still suffering immensely. I had developed so much fear and anxiety around either visiting her or having her visit us that it was affecting my life, my marriage, and my relationships.

I feel incredibly blessed that I found Holly. She has been working with me weekly, and from our very first sessions, I already felt like I could connect with her on a deeper level. Unlike my previous counseling experience, Holly is warm, friendly, approachable, patient, and incredibly gentle. She listens without making me feel judged or overwhelmed. Her advice is so practical and grounded that in some occassions, my own mother would give me the same advice. One thing I especially appreciate is that I don’t leave our sessions feeling emotionally drained. Instead, I often leave feeling lighter, understood, and with something to hold onto for the week.

Holly has also helped me see hope through the Gospel. That has been a meaningful part of my healing journey, and I am grateful that she has been able to incorporate faith into counseling in a way that feels compassionate and personal, which is very important to me

She has reminded me that marriage has its highs and lows, and that right now, I am simply in a very difficult low. Learning to recognize this season for what it is, rather than feeling like everything is permanently broken, has been incredibly relieving. Having a young child, navigating the demands of marriage, and working a demanding job can put an enormous amount of pressure on a family. Holly has helped me step back, breathe, and see that difficult seasons do not necessarily define the whole story.

I wish I had met Holly right after I gave birth. I wonder if things could have been different if I had received this kind of support earlier, before so much anxiety and pain had accumulated. If you are looking for a counselor who is genuinely compassionate, easy to talk to, and willing to meet you where you are, I wholeheartedly recommend Holly.
