What's My Approach to Therapy?

You may look like you’re functioning well on the outside - successful, creative, accomplished - yet inside you feel tense, blocked, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself and others. Many of the people I work with are artists, performers, writers, entrepreneurs, and professionals who have learned to push through pain, self-doubt, and relational wounds without fully resolving them. At a certain point, pushing through is no longer enough - you want to feel like yourself again.

I’m Dr. Mihaela Ivan Holtz. I specialize in working with high-functioning creatives and professionals who want more than symptom management - people seeking in-depth, effective emotional work that heals at the root. For over 20 years, I've helped clients restore their capacity to feel alive, grounded, and free to create and relate authentically.

My approach is depth-oriented, trauma-informed, and relational. I hold a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and am trained in contemporary psychoanalytic therapy, Certified in EMDR, and Attachment-Focused EMDR, with a strong foundation in the neuroscience of relationships and emotional regulation.

Groups I Work With

    Creative Minds Psychotherapy is about helping creatives and performers find their emotional freedom. Living with emotional freedom is the place that allows you to:
    1. Create and perform from an authentic emotional place
    2. Connect with your audience in a memorable way
    3. Be seen, valued, and rewarded as a creative or performer
    4. Enjoy authentic personal and professional relationships that further allow you to bloom and transform as an artist.

    Emotional conflicts, anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma cannot hold you hostage once you get in touch with your emotional freedom. You can make the leap from living with emotional conflicts, anxieties, depression, creative blocks, performance anxiety, and empty relationships to being in touch with your core self—the place where you can be the creative and performer that you really are.

    I am Dr. Mihaela Ivan Holtz, and I developed Creative Minds Psychotherapy (TM) to help creative people and performers in Beverly Hills, West Los Angeles, Hollywood, Studio City, and the surrounding areas with personal and professional challenges, relationships, creative blocks, anxiety, depression, and addictions. I have a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. I am certified in psychoanalysis through The Wright Institute, Los Angeles, and I am licensed as a marriage and family therapist. My training in psychoanalysis, the neurobiology of psychotherapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and positive psychology helps me address issues at their root while helping creatives and performers make active changes in the present.
