Marabeth Holland, LMHC

I am a lifelong Indiana resident and a proud graduate of Zionsville High School and Indiana University Bloomington. For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of helping adolescents and adults navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, and life’s many challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical support.

I am especially passionate about working with teenage and adult women who are feeling overwhelmed by life’s stressors, whether those challenges feel large or small. Too often, people convince themselves their struggles aren’t “serious enough” to deserve support or that they simply don’t have time to focus on themselves. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can openly explore whatever is affecting your daily life while building self-compassion, confidence, and the tools needed to move forward.

My clinical interests include mood disorders, trauma, body image issues, and family dynamics. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a shame-informed approach to help individuals and families better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing healthy coping strategies that create lasting change.

During our first appointment, my priority is getting to know you and building a relationship where you feel comfortable talking openly. The first session is a little more structured as we gather information about your history, current concerns, and goals, but this is your space—you can’t say anything wrong. I will meet you wherever you are in your readiness for change, and together we’ll begin taking steps toward a healthier, happier life.

Therapy can sometimes bring up difficult emotions, especially when we begin discussing sensitive experiences. Even so, I hope that you leave each session feeling a sense of relief, greater confidence, and more control over how to cope with life’s challenges and move forward.

I strongly believe that physical health plays an important role in emotional and mental well-being. Research continues to demonstrate the positive effects exercise can have on depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, eating disorders, addiction, and cognitive functioning. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me spending time outdoors, running, traveling with friends, or making self-care a priority. I’m also an avid fan of Indiana University athletics and the Indianapolis Colts, and I love spending time with my family and friends.

One piece of encouragement I often share with my clients is simple: You are stronger than you think you are.
