Dan Holdwick, PhD

I am an experienced therapist focused on helping individuals cope with anxiety, depression, anger, stress and other personal and relational difficulties.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Michigan. I enjoy working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and have particularly focused my career on working with individuals from underserved communities. I have 20 years of experience in outpatient, inpatient, military and veteran systems of care, and most recently working in corrections. I provide three primary services for adults seeking assistance: assessment, intervention/therapy, and consultation. Services may be provided remotely or in my office in Marquette, Michigan.

Assessment: I began my career focused on assessment of attentional issues and cognitive issues (ADD/ADHD, dementia), and continued into the areas of personality and functional evaluations. I look forward to continuing serving Veterans, first-responders, healthcare workers and others with pre-employment, fitness for duty and disability examinations or assistance. I have unique experience and training in assessment (interview-based) for persons considering gender/sex reassignment interventions. Lastly assessment can at times augment or clarify diagnoses.

Therapy: My psychotherapy style is eclectic. I utilized various techniques including CBT, interpersonal, problem-solving approaches. I actively encourage individuals to establish personal goals and identify existing strengths to resolve issues or achieve goals. Often times I enjoy hearing clients remind themselves of ways of coping they have had for many years, that went dormant, unnoticed or underused in addressing current concerns.

Consultation: At times therapists or individuals request evaluation to clarify their personal understanding of difficulties and often co-occurring problems. These consultative assessments are done as 1-3 session (including testing) to aide the individual and his/her primary provider in informing care.
