COUNSELING STYLE

Tris Holaway, LMFT

Tris is a Christian Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with 30 years of experience in various counseling settings such as medication-assisted drug treatment, Military installations, online, faith-based, inpatient, community based, elder-care facilities, and intensive outpatient. She uses counseling techniques from brief solution-focused, motivational interviewing, higher power/12-step recovery, and family systems theory. Tris is intuitive, personable, and attentive. She is a breast cancer survivor, and a divorce survivor. She is passionate about assisting clients to a leveled-up place of problem resolution, emotional and mental well-being, and soul recovery. Tris is happy to work with her clients in situations of complicated grief, workplace trauma, relationships (with self, God, and others), strengths-based goal-setting and planning, personality type discovery and application, neurodiversity, and life adjustment issues/questions. She personally enjoys diving deep into conversations with friends, exploring Indiana and the greater mid-west, watching weather and nature, and learning to play the drums.
