Minds Elated Therapy and Consulting

Davina Holland

Davina Holland

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Hi, I’m Davina, but you can call me Dove. I am here to support you with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal stress, and identity-related challenges. I have a special interest in supporting people dealing with chronic pain, women’s sexual health concerns, and postpartum depression.

My work is deeply informed by lived realities—especially for those who hold marginalized gender, racial, or religious identities and may not have felt seen in traditional therapeutic settings. Together, we can explore the stories, patterns, and emotions that shape your experience in a space grounded in safety, respect, and curiosity.

My therapeutic approach draws from evidence-based modalities including Time-Limited Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy. I am also certified in Gottman Level 1 & 2 Couples and Family Therapy through the Gottman Institute. Whether you’re coming to therapy to explore long-standing patterns or manage a present-day struggle, I aim to walk with you through it, offering tools and insights that support lasting growth.

My goal is to establish a therapeutic relationship founded on empathy, collaboration, and emotional safety. I believe that when we feel deeply understood, we’re better able to explore the layers of our inner life and begin meaningful change. Through our work together, I hope to help you uncover the origins of your emotions, understand your relational patterns, and develop a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

If you’re ready to begin that journey, I would be honoured to support you.
