Current Offerings and Services
Psychotherapy
All counselling sessions are tailored to your unique needs. Through empathetic listening, individualized assessments, and evidenced-based techniques, together we can formulate a treatment plan that will empower you to make positive changes in your life.
In 2023, Holly sold her group practice clinic in the Kootenays and moved to the sunny Okanagan. All sessions are now conducted via telehealth by phone or zoom. At present, no in-person counselling is offered and she does not accept new referrals from the Kootenay Boundary region.
business Mentorship
An entrepreneur at heart, Holly can assist you by offering personalized guidance and mentorship to help you set up and maintain a successful therapeutic business. She has been in private practice for 9 years and within six years, built and sold a thriving group practice that housed a dozen therapists. She has also supervised 4 Master's Students on practicum.
She also offers support to writers and other creatives birthing their creations into the world.
Do you have an obstacle you don't know how to overcome? Let's collaborate! Problem solving unique solutions to unique problems is one of my gifts.
clinical consultation
Holly believes in the power of shared
connection as it facilitates growth and healing. She offers a non-judgmental space to be curious and collaborate with you during clinical consultation.
She aims to support clinicians in their professional development, ultimately
leading to improved outcomes for their clients and more confidence in one's practice.
Every human alive has "stuff" - it is good
to unpack it now and then.

Testimonials
Holly's willingness to lend a caring hand, honest support and logical thinking has helped me in every area of my life. The sense of pure and unbiased approach can help and support anyone in their area of need.

Holly was recommended to me after the death of my husband. Her guidance and inspiration helped me to grow into an independent person and showed me the tools that I already had that have made me a survivor. I continue to see Holly periodically….not because of my grief but because I truly believe we all need a little “Holly” in our lives from time to time.

There are no words to describe my gratitude for Holly and her guidance. Holly’s authentic self lends to her approach; she’s personable and genuinely invested in each client ~ S.H.
I have seen Holly Smee for therapy for years. I have complex ptsd among other things. My issues are stubborn. Holly has remained very persistent and patient over the years. I appreciate her professionalism while maintaining incredible kindness ~ K.J.
