Author Information

"Holli Kenley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. She holds a Masters Degree in Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling. She first became interested in promoting the wellness of others in the early 1990s by volunteering time leading support groups for women struggling with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). This experience was the motivation behind her first book-The PMS Puzzle-as well as the impetus to return to graduate school, to become a licensed therapist. Prior to and during her work as a therapist, Holli was a California middle and high school Humanities teacher. For nearly thirty years, Holli sought not only to teach students but to reach out to young people as they often navigated through painful and challenging life experiences. Much of who Holli is, as a person and a therapist, has been shaped largely by her role as a teacher. For two decades (both as an intern and a licensed clinician), Holli has worked in a variety of set¬tings: a women's shelter and transitional housing, a counseling center, and in private practice. Counseling with adolescents, teens, young and older adults, Holli's areas of special training and interest include trauma, abuse, addic¬tion, codependency, and grief/ loss. It is because of these presenting issues along with Holli's passion for clients to move out of their fragile states and into a place of purposeful authenticity that she authored her second book-Breaking Through Betrayal: And Recovering the Peace Within. Holli has written this book for anyone who has come face to face with betrayal of any kind and in any form. She invites the reader to take a journey with her: to break through the devastation of betrayal in one's life through compassionate understanding and processing of one's vulnerable position. Then, by providing the reader with Cognitive-Behavioral tools and strategies, benchmarks for assessment, and timelines for individual¬ized pacing, Holli engages the reader in an empowering process tailored specifically for recovery from betrayal injury. Her purpose is simple-to bring relief, release, and renewal from the bondage of betrayal. Holli currently works in the field of psychology as an author, speaker, and workshop presenter. Because of her own life experiences and the recovery that she has embraced throughout her personal journey, Holli has a deep desire to impart her healing strategies to others. In her words, ""I believe, know, and trust that wellness awaits each of us. We choose the time."""
