Hi! My name is Dr. Lana Holmes. I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in the metro Atlanta area. Specifically, I am licensed to practice therapy and teletherapy within GA. Furthermore, I am licensed to practice interjurisdictional teletherapy (via PsyPact) in the following states: AZ, AR, AL, CO, CNMI, CT, DE, DC, GA, FL, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, NJ, NV, NH, NC, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI, WY, & WV. But more than that, I am a Black, bisexual, woman; a nerd; an Air Force brat; and a punk rocker at heart.
From an early age, I felt compelled to help find ways to lessen, heal, and work through the pain that we all experience as people. Moreover, I wanted to break down why we as people behave, speak, and hold beliefs in ways that compound that pain. And when I looked at my options, clinical psychology resonated with me the most, as a means of doing something about it.
I know that those of us who are marginalized and oppressed bear particular kinds of suffering that can be difficult to describe and understand, if you haven’t faced it. That’s why I connect my lived experiences with years of clinical education, training, and work; for a deeper and more authentic style of therapy.
In general, I approach therapy as a collaborator that takes evidence-based treatments and tailors them to the needs of people who work with me. Some of the treatment models that I frequently use include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Problem Solving Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Additionally, my areas of expertise include: trauma, depression, anxiety, ethical non-monogamy (particularly polyamory), BDSM, kink, spirituality, life changes/transitions, cultural competence, and social justice. Finally, I typically work with adults who are ready to actively invest in individual teletherapy.
In terms of working with individuals within the ethical non-monogamy community (including polyamory), my therapeutic approach is affirmative, culturally competent (i.e., informed about the cultures/subcultures connected to these communities), and intersectional (i.e., I acknowledge, accept, and welcome the multiple aspects of a person’s identity).

There are many reasons why you might be considering therapy at this time: a long-standing problem, the impact of a current life situation, and/or wanting support for your personal growth. Whatever your reasons, I know that it is important for you to find a therapist with whom you feel you can develop a good working relationship - someone whom you feel you can trust, who can understand your situation, someone with solid training and experience.
In our work together we will come to understand more about the sense you may have that your life is not your own - feeling stuck, feeling driven by old habits, feeling depressed, feeling consumed and forestalled by rage, feeling that change is needed in your relationship or in your career.
You and I will work together to build a trusting and non-judgmental relationship where you can feel safe to talk about yourself openly. The strength of our relationship is a crucial foundation for our work together. You know your life better than anyone else. Therefore, we will hold great respect for your wisdom about yourself. I will offer my professional knowledge and wisdom as well, and together, we will work to help you discover how to live the life that is best and most fitting for you. Please contact me for a free 15 minute phone consultation.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Searching for a welcoming environment where you don’t have to explain your unique sexual expression? I’m polyamory/LGBTQIA/BDSM savvy, and am honored to provide a safe place for clients to heal their past and explore their future. Polyamory can trigger particular emotional challenges, which we can use as an opportunity to grow. My therapy style is warm, direct, compassionate, and collaborative, with a feminist lens. I foster your growth process by easing old patterns, relaxing shame, and helping new possibilities emerge. I am a certified EMDR practitioner, providing EMDR for 20 years. I specialize in freeing up clients from the effects of sexual violence.

2928 BIRMINGHAM DR, RICHMOND, CA, 94806, US
Having worked in numerous mental health & counselling situations, I have experience with clients of a wide range of life-style, ethnicity, gender identification, sexual orientation, and personal backgrounds. Most of my experience has been with ages 14 and older. I also have counselled clients showing a wide range of patterns of personal distress and symptoms. For 28 years part of my job was to diagnose new clients in an outpatient clinic that served clients with problems ranging from mild adjustment to severe psychoses, and everyone in between. In the decade since I retired from that clinic to focus on private practice, I have worked with both individuals and couples/triads who asked for help exploring alternative styles of relationship, gender identification, and sexuality.
I have been trained in many styles of therapy and family/network/group intervention. I try to tailor my offerings to the needs, goals, and values of the client(s) who seek my services. In the area of traumatic stress, I am certified in EMDR (formerly called eye-movement-desensitization&-reprocessing… now I call it “Emotional Memory Desensitization& Reprocessing”). I was certified by California BBS as Hypnotherapist in 1982. I have explored using various altered states to help clients. This has included study and practice of Mindfulness Meditation which I apply to counselling situations. I have also studied several “Energy Meditations” and “Movement Meditations”. Under my RN certification I have studied and offered massage and bodywork. I draw from these varied trainings and experiences as tools to offer to clients what is acceptable, interesting, and useful to their development in life, in happiness, in consciousness, and in relating with others.
Currently (July 2020) I am mainly offering sessions via video (zoom,etc). FtF sessions are still possible, if needed by clients.

Having Tactical Social Worker as your therapist or coach is an experience beyond “traditional” therapy practices. I take time to learn what drives my client’s behaviors which creates a safe space in sessions. Through trust and compatibility, I assist clients in identifying their unique and evolving needs - whether individually, or as a unit. Education is a huge part of evolution. This means learning who you are, what you need, and having the words to effectively express yourself to those you share space with. My passion and purpose is in assisting clients in creating boundaries to provide layers of emotional safety as they navigate life.
Adjusting to change is exhausting, yet ignites a transformation that starts from within. Discovering new layers of your existence is exciting yet unnerving. I’m here to hold space for you during your journey of self-discovery. I’m here to encourage you to hold space for yourself - all layers of you - during every phase of discovery.
English is my primary and only language. I have experience working with clients of different ages, races, belief systems, sexual orientation, and genders - specifically those in marginalized communities. This includes Black and Brown individuals and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

The focus of my practices is on couples/relationships. My passion is to empower couples & families by introducing new tools and strategies to better equip them to tackle their concerns and to address relationship issues.I am an English speaking clinician that specialize in working with people to develop strong relationships through positive communication and clear boundaries. I am a sex-positive, poly-friendly, kink-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and culturally-sensitive therapist. I welcome individuals (age 15+), couples, and families dealing with a diverse set of challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, communication issues, familial or romantic conflict, parent-child conflict, lack of sex and intimacy with relationships, trust issues, self esteem issues, infidelity, women issues, and trauma.

Making sure that you understand that you are the expert in your life, I will work collaboratively with you to help identify patterns and triggers which might be contributing to your personal or relational distress. I truly believe people have an inner strength; however, sometimes you may need help trusting your own instincts.
You don’t have to go through this alone. My hope is that you will allow me to be a nonjudgmental and safe person that provides space where you feel free to share and work through whatever brings you to me. I have a down to earth personality. Along with my collaborative and empathic approach to therapy, I also bring a calm presence. I’m a firm believer that you cannot heal from what you do not first deal with, so I will hold space for you to do it.

I work with individuals, couples, and families (whether by blood or chosen). I don’t subscribe to one particular theory or way that therapy should “work”. I’m eclectic in my approach and believe in a strengths perspective. Focusing on how you have done things well, what you are proud of, and how you have made it thus far in your life is as important, if not more so, then what you feel may be wrong at this point. I strive to help people feel better, more connected, and more in tune with themselves and those around them.
I am trained a sex therapist by Dr. Domeena Renshaw and I provide sex therapy around a wide range of issues including but not limited to: sexual intimacy problems, low sex drive, or differing sex drives in relationships, BDSM/kink, polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships, sexual issues related to chronic illnesses such as cancer, stroke, HIV/AIDS & depression, gender identity & LGBTQI communities. As a consultant and trainer, I am passionate about educating medical providers to be culturally competent, specifically as it relates to gender & sexuality issues, so that no person feels like they have to educate their health care provider themselves in order to receive competent services.

I help patients find the permission they need to give themselves in order to live their most full, most authentic lives. I facilitate modern, collaborative psychotherapy grounded in anti-oppressive frameworks that recognize the impact and importance of what happens in both the outside world and your own, unique interior emotional world. I work from my own lived and embodied experiences, and seek a deep understanding of yours, to guide and inform our work together, moving you towards a more grounded, authentic, connected life.
Whether the pain and disconnection you’re experiencing is related to your sense of self or your body, whether based in trauma, chronic pain or illness, gender dysphoria, chronic dieting, disordered eating, or related to struggles with relationship problems, LGBTQIA+/GSM issues such as claiming queerness, examining identity and sexuality, and navigating relationship dynamics, with chosen family and family of origin, friends, romantic and sexual partners and peers, I’m here to help. I’ll focus on cultivating a strong partnership with you, and in doing so, will help you better understand yourself and your relationships.
I work with patients aged 13+, individuals, families, couples and those in relationships of all structures. While all are welcome in my practice, I offer special insights for queer and trans folks and those living in larger bodies.
