Amy Holt, LMSW

I obtained my MSW from the University of North Alabama and am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Tennessee with a background in Somatic approaches to treatment. I have experience working in residential treatment for substance abuse disorders as well as providing social services to members of the unhoused community. I am passionate about working with women who struggle with symptoms of trauma and substance abuse, as well as individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and mood issues. My experience and training have deepened my belief that every person has a unique story and deserves to be truly witnessed. 

I work with clients of all backgrounds who are seeking healing from trauma, and am especially passionate about working with clients seeking to heal from Religious Trauma and Spiritual Abuse. Individuals who come from high-control religious backgrounds often struggle with shame, hypervigilance, poor self-image, and decision making, among other issues. Fortunately, it is possible to learn to trust yourself, love yourself, and to feel safe in your body.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, individualized, and somatic. I understand the importance of the mind-body connection when working with mental health concerns and use somatic practices in session with clients to further healing. 

The alliance between a therapist and client is the single most important factor for healing, and I seek to foster a therapeutic environment that embodies curiosity, empathy, and respect.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, music, comedy, and hot yoga.
