Adam completely shattered all of my expectations about getting support for my mental health, in all the good ways. When I first started seeing Adam for anxiety and panic attacks, I went into it thinking that I would have to see someone for the rest of my life. One of the first things he told me was "you can get through this, there is an end in sight". This was such a comforting first impression that I knew I had found the right person to help me through my mental health struggles.

Before I started seeing Adam, my anxiety made it difficult to focus on everyday tasks at home and work, and my panic attacks had me fearing for my life. Adam taught me how to change my perspectives on both the world around and within me so that I could see through the haze of my anxiety. He also helped me understand what causes panic attacks and how to manage them. This was my first experience working with someone in this capacity so I didn't know that a person could graduate, but our sessions and the mental tools he gave me helped me to get to that point. The skills I learned from Adam helped me to accept my anxiety and dramatically reduced the number of panic attacks I experienced - so much so that towards the end of my time with him I couldn't even remember the last time I had one.

I was fortunate to see Adam on two separate occasions: after graduating the first time with him, despite my best efforts using the tools he taught me, the universe just kept throwing curveballs at me to the point where I could no longer manage my anxiety and panic attacks alone. I sought Adam’s presence a second time when I was in need, and just like before he reassured me that I'd get through this.

Thank you Adam for being a part of my life and helping me through the ups and downs of mine. I will always remember what you taught me, and that has made it so that I have a life lived well.

Working with Adam was absolutely a life-changing experience for me. He walked with me during some of the most difficult times in my life, helping me find strength and clarity while navigating a career transition, a parent affected by addiction, a strained relationship with another parent, the loss of a step-parent, the loss of a sibling in childhood, challenges in my marriage, and parenting a very anxious child. Adam worked with me on managing my own anxiety, managing expectations of myself and others, advocating for myself, understanding my self-worth, and strengthening my communication abilities to be a better, more present partner and parent. I have seen many therapists in my lifetime; what sets Adam apart from others is his compassion, his relatability, his calm demeanor, his understanding, his lack of judgment, his willingness to pause during a session and take the time to form the best, most honest feedback possible, and most of all, his trust and belief in my ability to grow and find safety.

Adam deeply affected my life, and his wisdom has not only changed me, but has also (and will continue to) cause a ripple effect for the people around me. If you have the opportunity to work with Adam, I have no doubts that your life will also be forever changed in the best way possible.

I thought there was something wrong with me without a shadow of a doubt. I kept getting "you're a perfect boyfriend," but I couldn't understand—if that were true, why did I keep getting left? I must have been broken. There had to be a flaw in me that would leave me alone forever. Instead of healing, I buried it. By my junior year of college, I felt completely isolated. Then, yet another relationship ended, and this one completely broke me. I’d cry at night, thinking I was nothing. Seeing how much it hurt my mom too, I finally agreed to seek therapy.

I discovered you through an online search, and I will never forget my first session with you. I considered not even getting out of my car, wondering if I could just push through on my own. But I showed up, and for the first time in a long, long time, I was heard. You didn’t judge me. You didn’t try to fix me. You just listened. I cried through the entire session, but by the end, something had changed. Something felt lighter, a burden lifted.

Over time, you taught me lessons I still hold onto today. As I gained mastery over my mind, the bad days still came, but they didn’t consume me the way they used to.

As our last session approached, I felt nervous—was I really ready to do this on my own? But then I realized something: I didn’t just feel better. I actually believed I was worth something. I believed I was capable of creating the life I wanted.

Now, two years later, I have lifelong friends, a career I love, and, as of yesterday, I’ve been with my girlfriend for two years. She’s everything I ever dreamed of but never thought I deserved. I owe it to your guidance, your conversations, and the space you gave me to figure things out. But I also know this—I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t made that first choice for myself.

To anyone who feels worthless or believes they don’t deserve love: take the leap. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to heal. You deserve to live.

Adam and I began working together at a very pivotal part of my life. I had endured an extremely difficult and nearly fatal family tragedy years prior, and had never truly healed from that experience. That had left me with some significant anxiety “whirlwinds” as I called them, and some even more difficult patterns of behavior that I was not proud of; including cycles of extreme self awareness followed by almost complete avoidance. I had an expectation that myself and my life needed to be perfect in order to function, and when I couldn’t meet that expectation I would give up all together.

Adam quickly saw through this, he held a metaphorical mirror to my face that honestly helped me to see that life didn’t need to be perfect, it actually didn’t need to be anything. I could find comfort in the reality of my life and anything outside of that could be dealt with accordingly to move my life in the direction that I want to. Adam and I worked through multiple tools to help guide me through these seemingly unbreakable patterns, but what I really think held the most impact was his ability to intermix his humanness with his strategies. I never felt like I was being analyzed. Most of the time, it felt like a conversation with a wise friend where I would walk away feeling empowered and feeling more clear. Adam found ways to relate to me and meet me where I was, but didn’t miss an opportunity to give me just the right push when I needed it. When Adam told me I was nearing the point of graduation, I was so hopeful. I reflected on my growth and I could see the ways my life was improving.

Adam told me during our final session that he believed in true recovery, and he considered me recovered from my anxieties. I knew with everything in me that he was right. I had recovered.

I had the privilege of working with Adam at a very tough time in my life, and I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my mental health and personal growth. When I first started, I was struggling with anxiety and wanted to improve my relationships with my wife and kids. From the very beginning, Adam made me feel comfortable and understood. His approach was always thoughtful, and by the end I was left with clear, actionable steps to address the challenges we discussed.

What stood out the most was Adam's ability to tailor the session to my specific needs, offering practical tools that were immediately relevant to what I was going through. His genuine care and empathy made our conversations feel less like receiving advice from some all knowing therapist, and more like connecting with a close friend who is there to support, yet trusts my ability to find my way. I always felt heard, respected, and encouraged.

Since working with Adam, I’ve noticed significant positive changes in how I manage anxiety and interact with my family. I wouldn’t consider myself an anxious person anymore. My relationships with my wife and kids have improved, and I feel more equipped to handle life’s challenges. Adam’s guidance has been invaluable, and I’m incredibly grateful for the support he’s provided throughout this journey.

About a year before I found Adam, I tried seeking help and guidance with a therapist. They said, "You have functional depression. We don't need to schedule a follow up unless you want to, but there's not much you need to do if you're still functional." The meds I had been prescribed weren't working for me, but I was "functional". I felt crushed and alone, unsure of what to do. The days dragged on and I could barely remember what happened the day before. I felt like an audience to my own life.

Adam was one of the first people I reached out to when I decided to try seeking help again. There had to be something more than just a simple diagnosis I had been given before. I felt scared, but Adam's reply to my first message made me feel a little bit of hope again.

I dreaded the first appointment. My feelings were not something I shared as I always felt shame for having them. However, I was paying for the session and I was not gonna pay just to lie or hide things. It was the best decision I've ever made because I was finally able to feel seen and heard. 

Adam's calm demeanor and acceptance of my feelings gave me hope. Not only did Adam not drop some diagnosis or label on me, I was told it can get better, and while I was skeptical, I was hopeful because I was seeing my situation more clearly and this was a lot different than my experience with therapy. and it did. It took lots of hard work, habit breaking, and honesty in my sessions, but it was worth it. I haven't just been given the tools to succeed; I've been taught how they work, and I now understand myself in a way that gives me confidence. I now know that no matter what, I can get through this. You can too, just take that first step and let your feelings be heard. With Adam’s guidance, you’ll learn to fall in love with them (and your life) just like I did.

I was one of those people who was opposed to getting help because I didn’t think I was “sad” enough. But one of the first things I learned when I started with Adam was that you don’t need to be “not okay” to seek help. When I reflect on working with Adam, it’s so gratifying to see the progress I made on my emotional maturity, my relationships, and my outlook on life as a whole. I didn’t need to be “not okay” to better myself as a person.

When I first came to Adam, I was a very emotional person and a huge overthinker.

Those were the two qualities that I believed to be my worst. I took everything to heart and didn’t know how to handle my emotions. I also struggled to control my anxiety which greatly impacted how I navigated my relationships, my academics, and my self-love.

Before working with Adam, I was an emotional overthinker. After working with Adam, I still have a lot of emotion, I still think a lot, it makes my life better, and I love that about myself. He did not change who I was, but taught me how to properly handle my emotions. I learned to understand where these heavy feelings came from, to validate them, and the outlets I had available to me. Today I am someone who is very attuned to my emotions, and I attribute that to being able to have a safe space to figure it out.

One of the most important things I worked on with Adam was learning to take actions

that bring me closer to the person I want to be. That mindset alone taught me how to take control of my life, and I am so grateful that I learned that at such an early age.

I still have my moments, but those are inevitable. That’s something I was unable to face at 17. But today, I am more equipped to deal with those moments. I am no longer scared of feeling down.

It was such a pleasure being able to work with Adam. He taught me some of the most important life lessons I know today. I will never regret making the decision to go to him for help and am forever grateful to have worked with such a wonderful, well-spoken, and understanding person. He didn’t make me feel better, he showed me how to change my entire life.

I can't recommend Adam Holman enough! From the very first session, I felt heard, supported, and understood. I had tried therapy a couple of times before and it didn’t work out for me, and his approach to guiding me was not just different, it has been life-changing. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and empathetic, always helping me challenge negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more balanced perspectives.

What I appreciate most is how he creates a safe and non-judgmental space, making it easy to open up and address deep-rooted issues. Adam tailors each session to what I personally found important in that given moment, providing practical tools and strategies that I can apply in my everyday life.

Thanks to his guidance, I’ve gained a clearer sense of self-awareness and learned how to cope with stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions that I had for my entire 50-years of life in a much more constructive way. I finally feel peace, and I feel more empowered and confident in navigating life's challenges.

If you're considering getting some help, Adam is absolutely someone I would trust with some of the most important people in my life.

The thing I learned from and with Adam, as a respectful and insightful partner in self discovery, is that Trauma is not a choice. Carrying that trauma with you is. Realizing this is incredibly powerful; it means you can choose to let it go, change how heavy it is, and even choose to make your past something beautiful that you can look at from a new perspective.

It's hard to admit that you're not doing well and need someone to help you and truly listen and see the world differently. Adam is someone that understands what it actually means to guide someone, not just try to fix them or make them feel better. He’s someone who truly enjoys helping people, who can provide a comforting and safe environment free from judgement, and instead of telling you what is right, will help you better understand your needs and how to reach them.

Please take care of yourself, and if you're looking for someone to not just listen, but help you gain a new path in life, I can't recommend anyone higher than Adam.

I chose Adam Holman to help me better my life and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Prior to working with Adam I had been battling severe depression for roughly 3 years and was fearful of trying therapy after having “failed” it in the past. However, Adam is patient, understanding, empathetic, and truly cares about your progress and recovery.

I threw a lot at him from day one and he did not shy away from the challenge. We worked through all my issues and over time he provided the insight and tools that I needed to get off the floor and turn my life around. I believe anyone who works with Adam will also do the same.

I went to see Adam because I was struggling with anxiety, depression, and burnout.

Even though Adam assured me from the beginning that these issues were treatable, I was skeptical about whether I could actually feel better. Immediately after meeting Adam, he made me feel supported, understood, and heard. 

Each session, Adam would teach me practical cognitive and behavioral strategies that you can use every day. Adam also taught me healthy coping skills that I could use at home and at work. This approach has given me real tools to manage my anxiety, improve my mood, and prevent burnout, rather than just relying on sessions for relief.
