Holly Sossi, LICSW

Hi, my name is Holly Sossi. I have over seven years of experience in the mental health field both in California and Washington state in various roles working with children, youth, transitional age youth, adults, older adults, and families in a variety of settings including crisis hotline support; school-based therapist in my Graduate internship; Assertive Community Treatment mental health clinician, and behavioral health therapist serving children, youth and adults for direct clinical specialty, psychotherapy services in my prior position. I received a (BA) Bachelor of Psychology Degree from Brandman University in 2014 and a (MSW) Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California in 2017. My concentration was focused on children, youth, and families with a sub-concentration in military social work.

My approach

My passion for helping my clients involves providing the space to feel heard and validated, and empowering my clients to commit to positive behavioral health changes for themselves, interpersonally, and with the world around them. My theoretical lens is grounded in my studies and practice in humanistic theory, attachment-based theory/child development, and family systems theory. I strive to help individuals and when working with families, to develop healthier communication, interpersonal, behavioral, relational, and coping skills to strengthen both their interpersonal relationships and positive behaviors through empowerment, for enhanced overall mental health and well-being.
