Announcement of Changes at Holt Psychological Services


On October 16, 2023, Dr. Holt’s Practice will reduce from full to half-time. Her services will be provided primarily by phone and video, with occasional in person appointments in exceptional circumstances.

Dr. Holt is aware that these changes will not meet the preferences of all clients. It is her hope that clients seeking a new service provider will consult with the Association of Psychologists of Nova Scotia (APNS) for information about available psychologists in their localities.

Dr. Holt expresses best wishes for the ongoing well-being of all her former clients.
