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!

Kayla Jarred
Psychologist, PsyD
As a psychologist, I am deeply committed to providing empathetic and person-centered care that fosters growth, self-discovery, and personal development. I believe that every individual has a unique story, and my role is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Through this process, I aim to help individuals better understand themselves and develop tools to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-compassion.
My values as a therapist encompass compassion and respect, with a deep commitment to personal growth. I approach each therapeutic relationship with the belief that people have an inherent capacity for growth. My role is to support clients in unlocking their potential, helping them explore their values, identify their strengths, and make decisions that help them progress on personal goals. Utilizing a variety of techniques, I view therapy as a collaborative process, adapting to your needs and desired goals in therapy.
Ultimately, my goal is to support individuals encountering concerns related to depression, anxiety, anger, trauma/stress, emotional dysregulation, and other general concerns a person may encounter. I teach skills from ACT, DBT, CBT, CPT, and other evidenced based therapy techniques to give you the opportunity for customized skill building for your specific concerns.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
Are you a high achiever that is overwhelmed and burnt out? Are you upset at not meeting your goals and expectations? Do you constantly struggle with managing your work-life balance? People might think that you have it all together, but on the inside, you are critical of yourself and disappointed. You also might lack confidence and often find yourself second guessing you decisions. I commonly see high achievers and executives that are afraid of criticism, feel like imposters, and worry about upsetting others.
