Hello, my name is Sandy Holzheimer and I am the sole owner and practicing clinician at Creations Counseling & Therapeutic Services, LLC. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational and Industrial Psychology from Albright College in Pennsylvania; and I have my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Kutztown University, also in Pennsylvania. One month after graduating with my master’s degree I moved with my husband and children to the Huntsville area.
Working in the mental health field for over 10 years, my experience as a counselor actually began after I moved to the Huntsville area. My specialties include life transitions, self esteem issues, substance use / recovery, anxiety, panic, depression, and grief. I believe the therapy process is unique to the individual. I use an eclectic approach bringing aspects of cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution focused, and person-centered modalities to the counseling forum. I am an associate licensed counselor, (ALC), under the supervision of Pamela Tippit, LPC-S. I offer individual counseling services to adolescents (14+ years) and adults who find themselves in need of support and guidance. Collaboratively, we can work to identify unhealthy coping patterns that may be negatively influencing your life. We’ll work to create healthy, useful tools that help cultivate real change so you an begin living your best life.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time outside with my family and friends. I’m also a huge animal lover and once we arrived in Huntsville it was no surprise that I began volunteering for an animal adoption agency. I have spent much of my time fostering elder dogs until they could find their furever homes; however, I have a particular soft spot for hospice fostering. Though it is very difficult, the gifts these animals provide us are so very dear to my heart.
Life is full of challenges that can sometimes make us feel overwhelmed, lost, and stuck. Searching for the right therapist is the first step towards achieving growth and change in your life. My goal as a clinician is to create a safe and nurturing environment for that exploration. Together, we will create realistic, individual goals to help balance the mind, body, and spirit. So, you can create the life you wish to lead.
