Dr. Suzannia Holden

Dr. Suzannia Holden is a licensed Clinical-Community Psychologist, an advanced certified trauma and PTSD certified therapist, grief specialist, and founder of Holden Psychological Services.

I believe in the power of healing, adaptation, and growth, and I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges to create a more positive and fulfilling future. With over a decade of experience in clinical-community psychology, I work closely with a diverse range of clients, including high-profile and VIP individuals, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and aspirations.

In addition to my professional background, my personal experiences as a Black woman living with a disability have shaped my perspective on resilience and overcoming adversity. I understand firsthand the obstacles life can present, and I’ve learned that maintaining hope, even in the toughest times, is key to finding happiness and success. This lived experience fuels my passion for supporting others through their own challenges, offering a compassionate and empathetic approach to therapy.

My areas of expertise include trauma recovery, grief, resilience building, identity exploration, and managing stress, anxiety, and depression. Whether you’re confronting major life transitions or working toward personal development, I provide a supportive, safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, but always adapted to suit your specific journey.

I believe the core of effective therapy lies in a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. I’m committed to fostering a space where you feel fully supported as we work through life’s obstacles together. Whether we’re addressing trauma or building your confidence, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Beyond my clinical work, I also mentor and consult with fellow professionals, helping them refine their therapeutic skills and grow their careers. I’m passionate about guiding other therapists toward professional and personal growth.

As a proud co-author of the acclaimed Wisdom G.I.F.T.S. 2, I’ve had the opportunity to share my insights and knowledge more broadly, furthering my commitment to inspiring others to persevere and thrive.

To all those I’ve had the privilege of working with, I’m deeply grateful for your trust. Together, we can embark on a journey of healing and transformation. Let’s begin!

 

Be powerful, be fearless, be courageous.
