About Holdspace
Areas of Focus:
At HOLDSPACE, we are deeply committed to offering holistic support across a range of mental health and personal growth areas. With a compassionate and individualized approach, our licensed psychologist in the tri-cities, Dr. Sara Saeedi, provides therapy, assessments, and guidance for those navigating life’s challenges. Some of our offerings include, ADHD assessments, PsychEds, and Autism Assessments. We also provide clinical supervision and consultations for clinical providers.
Holding space is at the heart of our practice because meaningful change happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. At HOLDSPACE, we embody this by creating a therapeutic environment rooted in safety, curiosity, and respect, where clients are not rushed, judged, or “fixed,” but supported in making sense of their experiences at their own pace.
