“My name is Alanah Holder. I am excited to join the UFC team as an Advocacy Counselor. I recently moved to LA from the east coast. I am originally from CT where I completed my BA in Psychology at the University of Hartford (2018). I completed my masters in Social Work at Boston University (2020). I have worked with children and adolescents in various settings and capacities. Most recently I was a Clinician working for the MA Department of Youth Services at a Detention Unit. My approach to therapy is strength based and relational. I enjoy the rapport building process and devote significant time to thoroughly get to know clients. I highlight their strengths and identify creative interest and hobbies that can support their goals. My talents include baking and DIY projects. In my free time I also enjoy walking, food, movies/TV, traveling, reading, and spending time with family and friends.”
