Her doctoral training focused on supporting youth, families, and neurodiverse individuals, fostering a deep understanding of the unique strengths and challenges that shape each person&amp;#39;s experience. Throughout her career, Dr. Avery has witnessed the transformative impact of self-compassion and acceptance—both in her own life and in the lives of her clients. These principles remain at the heart of her work. Based in Santa Barbara, California, she draws inspiration from the area's natural beauty, incorporating the healing qualities of nature into her personal and professional life. Dr. Avery helps clients cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and emotional well being through acceptance-based, somatic, and mindfulness-informed practices. She is trained in several evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and has more recently integrated elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS) into her clinical work. At this retreat, Dr. Avery brings together her clinical expertise, passion for nature, and appreciation for mindful movement to create a supportive and restorative experience. Through guided practices and experiential learning, participants will deepen self-compassion, strengthen mindful awareness, reduce stress, and cultivate a greater sense of balance and connection in their lives.

During her graduate studies, she trained in a wide range of clinical settings, including hospitals, college counseling centers, and low-cost community clinics. She developed expertise in anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, chronic health conditions, and neurodivergence. When the pandemic hit, Dr. Holly discovered her love for the outdoors, quit her hospital job, and relocated to South Lake Tahoe with her husband, where she maintains a primarily virtual private practice. She works with adults, teens, couples, and families ages 10+ and provides evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, and FBT. At this retreat, Dr. Holly combines her clinical expertise and love of nature to guide participants in reducing stress, reconnecting with themselves, and fostering balance in their lives.
