There’s no way around it–the 20s is a thrilling, adventurous, sometimes treacherous, generally uncertain time of life.

I’m Holly McFarland! I designed Coaching for Your 20s (CFY20) to offer coaching programs specifically designed to support young adults navigating difficult questions and transitions.

Let’s Dive In...

Heartbreak to Healing

Breakups suck. They especially suck when you don’t have much relationship experience. Or, if the breakup is with someone you consider your first love, the pain can be a constant gut punch.

Heartbreak to Healing is a six week, one-to-one coaching program for young adults who want to heal after a breakup and to create their own future.

Getting Unstuck

Getting Unstuck is a six week one-to-one coaching program for young adults who don’t know what to do next, who feel like their friends from high school or college are way more successful, who feel like they really know the meaning of being “lost.”

What to Expect

When you work with me you can expect deep understanding and a nonjudgmental, listening ear.

No matter your life's situation, I will take the time to get to know you deeply. I will take your feelings and thoughts seriously. Together, we’ll figure out your next steps and make a way forward.

The first step is contacting me to set up a call where we’ll decide if we’re a good fit for each other. After that, you’ll fill out paperwork to help me get to know you better and complete pre-work before our first zoom call. Then, we’ll get started! My programs include weekly zoom meetings and 2-3 email and Loom responses. I would love to work with you!

Coaching vs. Therapy

CFY20 is not therapy. While I have a psychotherapy practice, CFY20 is designed for young adults looking to find meaning and purpose in their lives for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have questions about working with me, please take a look at these FAQs. If you still have questions after reading, feel free to contact me.

  • CFY20 is not therapy. While Holly McFarland has a psychotherapy practice, CFY20 is designed for young adults looking to find meaning and purpose in their lives for the future.

  • You need to be ready to make some changes both big and small. You need to be willing to do some homework. If you can’t complete the homework between sessions, we will work on it together during zoom calls.

  • CFY20 does not offer refunds. Coaching is an investment and a commitment in yourself. Once the work has begun, you have taken the first big step on your path.

  • Between zoom sessions, you can email as often as you like. Frequently, writing to your coach is another way to do the work you need. I will respond at least twice a week to you personally either via email or Loom videos.

About Holly

With over 25 years of experience as a therapist and family lawyer, I have gained invaluable insights into navigating the toughest challenges in life, such as breakups, divorces, grief, and disasters. Witnessing the remarkable growth and transformation of young adults as they confront enormous obstacles, I have developed Coaching For Your 20s, a program aimed at providing the guidance and support that I wish I had during my own tumultuous twenties filled with constant moving, loneliness, and a lack of mentorship.

Stories of Healing

  • Holly helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life. In the time that she was my coach, she saw me go through a whole tangle of relationships, with two serious breakups, before eventually finding a deeply loving, healthy, and lasting connection with someone. Holly gave me the tools to build up (and keep rebuilding) my self worth. I can't recommend her highly enough.

  • It is hard to put into words how highly I think of Holly and how appreciative I am for what she has done for me. When I first started working with Holly, I was at the lowest point in my life. She has seen me through more low points as well as some of my highest ones, but she never changes. Holly is everything that a coach should be: steady, patient, dependable, genuine, caring, compassionate, kind, and the best listener. She helps me find calm in the chaos, see the bigger picture, and focuses on finding solutions to my problems rather than letting them fester.

    —Sarah, 23

  • When I graduated from college, I hit a wall.  I had no idea what I wanted or what to do.  I really liked working with Holly because she helped me organize my own thoughts and make decisions that mattered to me.  She also made me laugh!
