Dan Holland has been a clinical psychologist and clinical neuropsychologist for over 30 years, with much of his clinical focus centered on individuals with neuropsychological or neurodevelopmental conditions. He has worked extensively with patients navigating life with conditions such as ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, concussive injuries, and other acquired brain injuries. Although Dan once conducted extensive neuropsychological assessments, he no longer performs evaluations and now focuses exclusively on psychotherapy and consultation for individuals with neuropsychological conditions. He frequently consults with patients or parents about neuropsychological evaluations performed elsewhere, offering insights, guidance, and explanations. Dan also provides consultation to parents of neurodiverse children, helping to bring perspective and develop effective plans for children with these conditions or disabilities.
In addition to his work with neurodiverse patients, Dan specializes in the treatment of severe stress, particularly stress related to occupational or academic settings. He helps individuals reduce stress, gain perspective, and determine appropriate actions to take in challenging situations. For patients dealing with stress due to trauma, Dan employs approaches to alleviate PTSD symptoms and build psychological resources, fostering confidence and recovery.
Dan also works with individuals facing chronic illness or disability, addressing the psychological factors associated with these conditions. As a board-certified Clinical Health Psychologist, he uses various psychological insights and contemplative practices to support patients coping with chronic illness or disability.
Dan graduated from Oberlin College and earned his PhD in clinical psychology from Southern Illinois University. He completed an internship in clinical neuropsychology at the University of Missouri School of Medicine and a postdoctoral residency in clinical neuropsychology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Dan has served as a professor of psychology in various graduate and academic medical settings. He is a Fellow of both the American Psychological Association and the Association of Psychological Science. Dan holds board diplomates in Clinical Psychology, Clinical Health Psychology, and Rehabilitation Psychology from the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP).
