Hollis Witherspoon, Creative psychotherapist

My clients describe me as:

Warm, playful, curious, non-judgmental, creative, and authentic. I am willing to be vulnerable and explore with you. We are in this process together!

Something to know about my approach is:

Sometimes talking is just not enough. Weaving in role-play, writing, improv, metaphor, art-making, and other creative prompts, I help clients explore a fuller picture of themselves and their experiences. It's even possible that therapy can be fun.

Together, we will:

Explore the stories you tell and the roles you play in your life and how they do or do not serve you. We will create space for safe expression and reflection, talk, think, and wonder, and ultimately, seek a place of acceptance and understanding.

I specialize in working with people who:

I work with adults who suffer from anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and imposter syndrome, often stemming from trauma. The unknown in life transitions can be scary and l can offer compassionate and creative ways to support the healing process.

I became a therapist because:

Creative expression is part of my core and I want to help support others on their unique paths to healing. Everyone can benefit from therapy!

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

On Mondays, we can sit together in my cozy Greenpoint office, or join me for a private and respectful virtual session from the comfort of your home.
