Hope Holman

Hope Holman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 10 years of experience in the mental health field. She is a retired Navy veteran and Disabled Vet who earned both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work at Saint Leo University. She is also a Registered Play Therapist, a credential that reflects specialized training in play-based methods to help children express thoughts and feelings in developmentally appropriate ways.

Over the course of her work, Hope has supported people navigating a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, grief and loss, anger, self-esteem struggles, relationship conflict, parenting challenges, foster care and adoption issues, abandonment and rejection, ADHD, Autism, and major life transitions. Her experience spans a wide age range, from children as young as 4 through older adults, and includes settings such as group therapy, support groups, couples counseling, outpatient care, and in-home therapy.

Hope brings a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental presence to counseling. Her work is strength-based and often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy, while drawing from additional approaches as needed. Clients can expect an encouraging space to unpack what they are carrying, process life events, and move toward feeling more heard, empowered, and grounded. She views therapy as meaningful work and healing as a personal journey, and she strives to walk alongside clients as they take the next step forward.
