Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I’ve been meeting with Holly for several months now and I cannot say enough about how positive of an experience it’s been. Holly is skilled, so insightful, down to earth and cares deeply. Her approach is refreshing and has brought perspective to many areas of my life. I feel so grateful to have worked with Holly and highly recommended her as a therapist.

Holly's approach is refreshing and easy going. She is real and unintimidating. Talking to her feels like talking to a friend. She provides valuable insight and has been very compassionate and helpful when handling very hard topics. It is very clear that Holly cares about her clients, and takes the time to truly know and understand what you are facing. Highly, highly recommend!

Holly has tremendously helped me through a very difficult time, and I really feel safe and comfortable talking to her! This was my first experience seeking help from a councilor and she made me feel at ease and I plan on continuing my visits to further my progress.

I have been seeing Holly for a few years now and she is everything you could ask for in a therapist. Attentive. Logical. Compassionate. Relatable. Helpful. And much more.

Holly has been a tremendous help to me over the last few years. She is insightful and often guides me toward the connections I sometimes fail to initially see in my own thoughts. She has helped me find the confidence in myself that I had been missing for a long, long time. She is kind, understanding, and real. I continue to walk in the world a better person, in large part thanks to the tools that Holly has helped me develop. I don’t know where I would be without Holly’s help and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking some guidance.

I believe Holly listens to me. She provides great feedback, and offers coaching for how to work through situations when I ask for it. She doesn't offer suggestions unless I ask. I feel safe and supported during my visits. I have implemented some of her coaching, and have been glad with how things worked out using her coaching.

Holly has been a vital support during very tough times in my life. She truly cares about her patients. She has the ability to adjust her support levels depending on the circumstances (and patient desires). She listens carefully and thoughtfully. She is highly professional and positive.

Holly has worked with our child through a very difficult high-conflict co-parenting situation. I am not the one who selected Ms. Lien, but in the past year she has managed the situation professionally and with integrity and has worked to build trust with our child. I feel that the sessions have helped our child. I would recommend Ms. Lien to those seeking a patient, playful, caring, and knowledgeable therapist for their child.

We chose Holly for marriage counseling. Holly is welcoming and is excellent in creating dialogue and meaningful conversations that have helped us resolve issues that would normally end in a fight. Meeting with Holly has helped us take our counseling sessions into our daily lives and improve our marriage. We have a much better understanding of each other that has increased our ability to love each other. We highly recommend Holly.

Vacaville, CA – Aug 04, 2017

Holly is easy to talk to and relatable with her clients. There were few tools offered for suggesting behavior changes when discussing issues. Topics like 'I' statements were brought up but then never spoken of again and we would move to the next topic/issue. The lack of conflict resolution left me frustrated and hopeless, as though I was 'moving through the motions' and experiencing the 'typical' therapy experience heard about. Sharing your problems with a stranger but not seeing progress.

Absolutely, 100% LOVE Holly!!! I've moved distances away and yet still do sessions over the phone because her energy and caring self makes me not want to go anywhere else. She has helped me in many situations and the comfort and selflessness she gives is what we all want in a therapist. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with Holly.

I always left an appointment with Holly feeling lighter, but also very introspective. Not only would she validate my concerns, she'd help me through possible solutions to my anxiety and how to overcome issues in my daily life.
