Dr Brandon Hollie, PhD, MBA
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist | Couples & Relationship Specialist
Meet Joshua
Relationships can be some of the most meaningful parts of our lives, but they can also be where we experience our greatest challenges. Whether you're feeling disconnected from your partner, struggling to communicate, navigating a difficult transition, or trying to better understand yourself, you deserve a space where you can show up authentically and feel understood.
I'm Dr. Brandon Hollie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Hollie Therapy & Counseling. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to move beyond familiar patterns and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
My Approach to Therapy
I believe meaningful change begins with understanding, not judgment.
In our work together, I'm interested in more than simply identifying what's going wrong. I want to understand how you got here, what experiences have shaped you, and what continues to keep you stuck.
My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and direct when needed. I'll create space for you to feel heard and supported, but I'll also challenge you to examine patterns, take accountability, and consider new ways of showing up for yourself and the people who matter most.
I recognize that relationships don't exist in a vacuum. Culture, family expectations, race, identity, and generational experiences all influence how we love, communicate, and navigate conflict. These realities are central to how I approach therapy, particularly in my work with Black individuals and couples.
Working With Couples
Couples therapy is one of my greatest professional passions.
I work with couples navigating emotional disconnection, recurring conflict, communication difficulties, infidelity, and challenges rebuilding trust. Sometimes couples come to therapy in crisis. Other times, they simply recognize that the relationship they've built no longer feels like the relationship they want.
Regardless of where you're starting, my goal is to help you better understand the patterns keeping you disconnected and create opportunities for greater emotional safety, honesty, and intimacy.
I'm not interested in assigning blame or determining who's right. I'm interested in helping you understand what's happening between you and how you can begin doing something different.
A Little About Me
Outside of therapy, I'm a proud father, educator, and someone who genuinely values meaningful relationships and new experiences.
I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, and finding opportunities to experience life beyond the routines of everyday responsibilities.
Fatherhood has also deepened my appreciation for the ways our experiences, relationships, and choices influence the generations that follow.
While I take my work seriously, I don't believe therapy always has to feel overly formal or intimidating. I value authenticity, meaningful conversations, and the occasional moment of humor. Above all, I believe people deserve to feel comfortable being themselves.
What You Can Expect
If we work together, you can expect a therapist who is engaged, curious, compassionate, and willing to have difficult conversations with you.
I won't promise that the process will always be comfortable. Growth often requires us to confront things we've spent years avoiding. But I do believe that with intentional effort, greater understanding, and a willingness to do things differently, meaningful change is possible.
You don't have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Sometimes, the most important step is simply being willing to start.
