My Approach:
I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort and that you are the expert on your own life, experiences, and emotions. My job is to create an environment of compassion, non-judgment, and safety where we can discuss the things that matter most to you. I use a mix of different treatment modalities like CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing to individualize care to the best of my ability.
About Trace Hollingsworth:
My career path in behavioral health began with a graveyard shift at a residential addiction treatment facility where most of my duties involved cleaning and filing paperwork. This position, however, allowed me to interact with the clients that lived at the facility every morning and I began to develop a deep admiration and respect for everyone that I met there. I loved that my job allowed me to learn things that I could then use to more fully understand my friends and family that struggled with many of the same issues that the clients in the facility experienced.
I spent the next couple years working in adult residential addiction treatment centers until I had the opportunity to manage a different residential facility that served as an alternative to incarceration for adult men who suffered from serious mental health issues. That eventually led to my current position where I help oversee a few programs (a mental health outpatient clinic, a facility for court-ordered treatment, and the PASSR/Medicaid divisions) for a non-profit in Salt Lake City. I am still continually
impressed by the tenacity, compassion, and patience of the people that my work allows me to connect with. I am very excited to continue to learn and grow at Red Willow Counseling.
Outside of work, you will almost certainly find me spending time at home with my family, watching movies, reading books, or attempting to cook Japanese cuisine. I am very much a homebody but also enjoy spending time with friends, going out to eat and to the movie theater, spending time in the mountains, and visiting historical sites.
