Blair Hollis M.A. BCCC BCMHC is a Board Certified Christian Counselor (BCCC) and a Board Certified Mental Health Coach (BCMHC). In his 17 years of practice, he understands that in many ways we conform to this world, lose a sense of “who” we are and struggle to discern “what” we were designed to become. As we experience life stressors and speed bumps, we lose our way and are in need of counseling to find restoration, spiritual realignment, and a process of renewal that develops a sense of hope.

Practice Description

Blair’s counseling practice believes that each individual is born with a talented mind that is designed to be developed in order to share their giftedness with others. It is also based on the truth that we have unique roles to pay in our lives, in our work and in our marriages. We yearn to cultivate a deeper understanding of “who” they are, “what” our role is in this world and to discover a pathway that allows them to flourish. We often look through different lenses where our attention is less on comprehending our uniqueness and more about just surviving. This directly impacts the quality of our personal and professional relationships, which become strained. Our Hope-Focused spiritual counseling focuses on guiding individuals through life stressors back to a life that holds meaning and enables them to reclaim their lives and be whom God designed them to become.
