Maybe you’ve found yourself ignoring your own needs to keep the peace or make things easier. It’s not that you’re okay with it, you’ve just learned to carry it quietly because, well, that’s what you thought you had to do. But deep down, you know it shouldn’t be this way. You deserve to be treated with respect and compassion, no matter the circumstances. Whether it’s in your personal life, your work, or your relationships, you’re not just a role to fill or a task to complete, you’re a whole person, and you deserve to feel like one. You Want to Love What You Do Without Losing Yourself In It The pressure to succeed is real, whether it’s from the industry, your loved ones, or even yourself. You’ve poured so much into this career, and the thought of doing anything else doesn’t even feel like an option. But lately, the joy you once felt for your work has been overshadowed by stress, self-doubt, or even just exhaustion. You miss the creativity, the excitement, the spark that first drew you in. And while you know this path isn’t always easy, you’d give anything to feel like yourself again! To create and work from a place of passion and confidence instead of fear and uncertainty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6081d2dba68cb04ce245d9f4/6b3748c3-51ed-4e19-ac63-7b3420affba7/Headshot_August2022_BW_Small.jpg Home - Hello I’m Holly Marie (she/her) I provide therapy for models and creatives who are feeling anxious, stuck, or rejected. My goal is to help you prioritize your mental health, navigate the pressures of high-visibility careers, and reconnect with your sense of self in a supportive and understanding space. I know firsthand what it’s like to live under constant scrutiny and the pressure to perform in fast-paced, unpredictable, and sometimes harmful environments. I began modeling in NYC at just 15 years old, and while it was amazing in many ways, I wasn’t prepared for the realities of the fashion, entertainment, and advertising industries or how they would affect my mental health. I faced situations no teenager should have to confront alone, leading to struggles with depression, anxiety, and a distorted body image. Years later, when my children decided to pursue modeling in NYC, I was hopeful that the industry had evolved. But unfortunately, many of the same issues persist today, with limited mental health support available for those who need it most. I want to SHARE the lessons I learned the hard way It wasn’t until I took a psychology class in my late 20s that I began to understand why I had developed depression and anxiety and that I wasn’t alone in how I felt. Talking with other models about their mental health struggles opened my eyes to just how common these challenges were, and it inspired me to pursue a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. Today, I use my personal and professional experiences to provide therapy that’s uniquely tailored to the challenges of high-pressure careers. My clients often tell me that, because of my background as a model and my experience as a parent of models, they feel truly seen and understood in ways they haven’t experienced with other therapists. Whether you’re navigating rejection, managing anxiety, or simply seeking a space to feel safe and heard, I’m here to support you in building a life that aligns with your goals and nurtures your well-being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6081d2dba68cb04ce245d9f4/60e75f59-2852-4328-8e7a-123c12f784eb/unsplash-image-aS4Duj2j7r4.jpg Home - Having the right SUPPORT CHANGES EVERYTHING When we begin working together, my first priority is to equip you with tools and strategies to navigate the pressures of a high-stakes, fast-paced environment.

Asking for help might feel like admitting defeat, but it’s actually the first step toward healing. You deserve someone who truly understands your experiences, offers a safe space to process them, and equips you with tools to thrive. Hi, I’m Holly Marie (she/her) My time as a young model in NYC at just 15 years old opened my eyes to the mental and emotional toll this industry can take. Behind the glitz and glamour, I witnessed the reality of what happens in the fashion and entertainment industries. While I was surrounded by talented people from all over the world, I also saw how many struggled silently with self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and addiction. No one was talking about these things then, and unfortunately, not much has changed today. That’s why I decided to go back to school to complete degrees in psychology and mental health counseling, so I could provide models and creatives with the resources and support I wish I had during my career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6081d2dba68cb04ce245d9f4/c3b25251-637a-4c88-9cdf-827486a6fa6c/Modeling_Polaroids_immmodels_com.jpg About - A Safe Space Tailored to Your Unique Needs I specialize in working with professional models and creatives because I understand the unique pressures of high-visibility careers.
