Holly Ellingburg Jackson, LPC
Therapist
Center for Change
I am a 43 year old woman who has a passion for people. I have known since early in life that I came into this world with a heart to move toward rather than away from people who are in emotional pain. And, as we all discover, life has brought about many unexpected difficulties that gave me the gift of suffering and surviving the suffering to discover beauty and freedom on the other side of the pain.
Outside of the office I am a single mother who divorced after 13 years of marriage. I am a recovering bulimic and have been in recovery for 24 years. In 2013 I experienced the traumatic and unexpected death of my son, Gavin, and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Life isn't easy, and no one is immune to suffering.
On the other end of the spectrum, I love being mom to my daughter. I love nature and outdoor activities. I love yoga, working out, and cooking... especially when cooking for those that I love.
Also, I love people, and I am passionate about coming alongside people who are bound by the consequences of the suffering they have endured. Together, we discover the strength they didn't know they had.
Every person has inherent worth and value, and I feel so alive when I see others get free from the things that previously crushed them
