T.L. Holt, M.A.
TL Holt brings a fresh perspective to the field of
counseling with a varied background of professional and
personal experiences. His experiences play an integral
part in his therapeutic approach and he is open to
processing life with people from a place of acceptance
and love. A person's journey has value and TL works to
assist people in the movement from a place of despair
into the acceptance of hope and restoration.

In regards to therapeutic style, TL has an eclectic view
that borrows from many styles depending on the
situation. He believes that no single approach is enough
by itself, but the integration of psychological theories and
faith have the power to create a positive shift in a
person's life. Though his approach is eclectic and
integrative, he leans towards rational emotive therapy,
which addresses many of the lies we tell ourselves. The
lies we believe can lead to cycles of addiction, despair,
and anxiety.

TL and his wife, Mary Gene, have lived in Knoxville for
the past three years and have grown quite fond of East
Tennessee.  In his spare time, he enjoys
playing/recording music, writing, and finding value in thrift
store treasure.
