ABOUT THE TEAM
Holly Hemphill, MA, LCMFT, DAACS
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Interpersonal Communication from the University of Kansas. I went on to receive my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Kansas State University. When I decided to specialize in sex therapy, I studied at the Colorado School of Family Therapy and received my certification as a Diplomate of the American Academy of Clinical Sexologists (DAACS).
"I feel that a safe, soft, and warm environment inspires insight and reflection which encourages positive change. I have had the privilege of working with many couples on the verge of divorce, discovery of infidelity, lack of communication or mismatched sexual styles that have been able to repair relationships and come out stronger and closer than they have ever been before. These couples are known as the "Masters" of relationships. My commitment is to help ALL relationships become “Masters." As a specialist in marriage and family therapy, I can assist with reorganizing your relationship with a focus on an outcome that is best for your couple's style and your family. Working on improving communication, intimacy, and attachment can help breathe life into your relationships. I also welcome individual and family clients who are struggling with life concerns like depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I look forward to contributing to your success and healing."
I also believe that sex is a natural, healthy expression that gets distorted and obsessed about in our culture. When this connection is disturbed through negative childhood or adult experiences, it can be shaming and/or confusing. This intimate, pleasurable experience can become feared or all too consuming. My office is a sex positive, confidential environment to untangle these issues with integrity and find solutions. Clients have described my approach as warm, straightforward and very effective.

Heidi Tolnai MA, LPC
(she/her/hers)
I hold a Bachelor's degree in German, English and Women's Studies from Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, Nebraska. I went on to receive my Master's of Arts degree in Counseling from Doane College also in Lincoln, Nebraska.
I strongly believe in the inner strength and wisdom that exists within you. As your therapist, I honor your own expertise as we work together to create a safe and compassionate space that is optimal for healing and personal growth. I invite you to open yourself up to possibility of change and bravely lean in towards the discovery of your authentic self. You can heal from past trauma and use your strengths to find balance and live more intentionally.
My clinical approach is holistic, collaborative, and heart-centered. I believe that we must work deliberately every day to choose happiness, and the more we explore what brings us the greatest joy, the easier that work becomes. I will oftentimes refer to the therapy process in my office as "holding space," which means to be truly present with someone without judgment. Holding space is my goal in session, to be able to accept and validate someone's truth, to embrace their experience, to be open to possibilities, and sit with my clients even through the hard moments.
As a seasoned therapist with over 20 years experience in the field, I always remain honored and grateful to open my office to those ready for change and healing. It is important to me that my services are culturally inclusive, accepting of diversity, trauma sensitive, as well as being a strong ally in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Heidi's Specialized Focus:
Trauma-focused therapy approaches the needs of the client through a trauma-focused lens. We will spend time exploring your experience and assist you in connecting patterns that have emerged over time. Instead of asking "What is wrong with you?" the preferred question will be "What has happened to you?" We can then move forward with ways in which the trauma has manifested in unhealthy ways, and in turn shift them into healthier coping strategies.
Trauma Therapy
You do so much for others! Now, what about you? As a therapist, you deserve the same compassionate support you show your clients along with a space to exhale and process emotion. Let's practice setting boundaries in our own life as you take the time to prioritize self care and give back to yourself. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. Remember, "you can't pour from an empty vessel."
Therapy for Therapists
You are enough
Women are caretakers and healers. We will often prioritize the needs of others before our own, which can lead to losing ourselves in the process. We have learned to internalize our feelings and forget who we are at times. Women are two times more likely than men to experience depression and anxiety, most often during those stages in life that are defining moments. Examples include: going away to college, career changes, marriage, pregnancy, motherhood, infertility, change of life(midlife/menopause) and divorce/break-ups.
Therapy for Women
You may love being a mom, but it is far from easy! Whether you are a stay at home mom, working professional, co-parenting mom, or a single mom doing it all, sometimes it can feel like there is no time left over for you. We can feel overworked, exhausted and not appreciated at times. When life is out of balance, we can easily feel "burned out" and lost, oftentimes not even knowing who we were before we had families and kids.
This can take a toll on your mental health and hold us back from discovering our best self and life. You are worth the attention to yourself and deserve to put yourself first!
Moms
You are beginning a new chapter in your life. Perhaps you are graduating from high school, or college, or changing careers. You might feel uncertain and overwhelmed about your next steps and how to navigate all these changes.
During this young time in our lives, we are exploring relationships and deciding what our interests might be. Layer on top of that parental expectations and trying to discover your identity along the way. Sometimes these life transitions can look different than expected and harder than we imagined.
I can help you discover some tools to help manage those unwanted anxious feelings and regulate those intense emotions. Therapy for teens focuses on building self-esteem, improving relationships and communication. We will work on coping with stress, developing problem-solving skills, building a strong sense of self, and building emotional strength.
1 in 3 college students struggle with depression. Over 60 percent of college students have experienced “overwhelming anxiety” in the past year.
College can be exciting and scary at the same time. But finding a balance through the new found freedom can be a wake up call. Grades, relationships, and performance anxiety can cause you to feel overwhelmed and stressed. It's hard to know what to do, but it's OK to not be OK.
College students experience a wide variety of stresses that impact their physical, social, and emotional health. Adulting is hard in general, and navigating the demands of life in and after college can be challenging.
Whether you are beginning a new school year, engaging in a challenging internship, struggling to maintain relationships, are unsure about the type of career you seek, or uncertain relating to self and others, these stressors related to new and old roles and experiences can feel overwhelming.
Examples of issues that I can help with include: self esteem, anxiety, body image, peer/family conflict, school performance, career dissatisfaction, finding work/life/school balance, and relationship concerns.
