Holden High is proud to host a monthly Parent Support Group run by our Clinical Director, a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over twenty years of experience working with teenagers and their families. 

Holden offers elective courses designed to support students managing a variety of challenges. Whether it be executive functioning (Study Skills), Anxiety (I’m Freaking Out), or self-exploration (Genders and Sexualities; Boys Group), Holden provides a safe space for students to process and work collaboratively.

In addition to one-on-one counseling, Holden offers counseling sessions facilitated by two of our practicing counselors in order to address any student or family concerns and support the process of understanding and resolution. These sessions are optional and can be held at any time during the school year at family or student request. 

Holden emphasizes personal growth and community through self-exploration electives, discussion / affinity groups, athletics, and community events.  Students run our community meetings, present feedback through Student Council, and practice self-advocacy with staff support. 

Our staff boasts over 100 years of collective experience supporting students who experience anxiety and depression. We eagerly collaborate with additional supports such as outside therapists and psychiatrists to provide each student an individualized, holistic education.
