Testimonials

 Dr. Holder's presentation on burnout and managing burnout in the healthcare field was eye-opening, insightful, and truly hit the nail on the head. She spoke on topics applicable to all types of Advanced Practice Provider (APP) practice, and provided us with helpful tips and strategies to help our teams work through the symptoms of burnout. Her description of typical burnout scenarios alone made my team feel seen and supported.  Dr. Holder was our keynote speaker for APP week, and her presentation could not have been more impactful and applicable. I hope to be able to implement the strategies I learned from her on both a personal and team level going forward.

I had the joy of speaking with Dr. Kelly Holder on the Solving for Joy podcast, but my admiration for her began long before we hit record. As a clinical psychologist and Chief Wellbeing Officer, Kelly brings wisdom, integrity, and deep presence to every space she enters.  She embodies wellness as a lived value and reminds us that joy and struggle can coexist. If you're looking for a powerful speaker, thought partner, or someone whose presence elevates a room, Kelly is someone you want in your orbit. She’s not just walking the walk. She’s holding the door open for others to walk through too. 

-Chrissy Ott, MD, Founder and CEO of JoyPointSolutions

BIOGRAPHY

Hi, my name is  Kelly Holder, and I am a clinical psychologist, speaker, and advocate for well-being in healthcare. Over 15 years ago, I discovered my passion for creating spaces where healers can thrive when I began building mental health services from the ground up. It opened my eyes to how systemic, cultural, and environmental factors shape our well-being. I now know firsthand what it’s like to navigate burnout and the challenges of prioritizing mental health in demanding fields, and this is why I speak to healthcare professionals, educators, and leaders.  


My goal is to inspire and equip organizations to cultivate environments that promote well-being so that those who care for others can also care for themselves and perform at their best. When I’m not speaking or advocating for change, you can find me supporting children’s ministry programs, enjoying family time, or writing devotionals to help others connect with God.  


I look forward to connecting and being part of your next event so that, together, we can create an environment where healers truly thrive.  

I look forward to hearing from you!
