Hi, I’m Ida Holem! Growing up as a pastor’s daughter gave me a front row seat to the struggles and triumphs that come from serving God and a congregation. Once I moved out of my parents’ home my eyes were really opened to the need to deepen my own faith. As a therapist, I have had the unique experience of being able to help those in ministry from a Christian perspective as they work to help others. I truly believe that God has ordained my steps throughout my careers and lead me to this very spot so that I could step in to serve those that serve others.

My Biography

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida (MH16568). I maintain a professional membership in the American Counselor Association (ACA), and have completed numerous trainings in the Gottman approach, and Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy, two of the leading research-based methods to help couples improve their relationships. In addition, I am a Board Certified­ TeleMental Health Provider  (BC-TMH 1555) and able to provide both phone and video-based sessions to my clients.
