Holly Hunter, MD
Dr. Holly Hunter is a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Alleviant’s Bryant location. A 2015 LSU Shreveport Health Sciences graduate, she completed a residency in child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. An alumnus of both, Louisiana State University and Mississippi College with a bachelor’s and master’s of science in biology, she has expertise in treating childhood trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders.
“Behavioral issues usually manifest after a series of changes in a child’s life,” Dr. Hunter said. “Parents want to help their children – I’m a parent, I understand their perspective – but I don’t want to treat symptoms; I want to treat the root cause.
“I believe that my job is to understand, educate, provide support (medicinal or otherwise), validate the human experience, celebrate successes, and encourage continued growth and self-exploration,” she said.
