About The Holmes Organization

An institution devoted to healthy relationships, strong leaders, and thriving communities.

The Holmes Organization is a scholarly and clinical institution advancing the study, practice, and stewardship of human relationships — through research, education, clinical innovation, and evidence-informed care.

A scholarly institutional study — open books, journals, and a reading lamp on a warm wooden desk.

Our Mission

To advance healthy relationships, strengthen leaders, develop professionals, and serve communities — with rigor, integrity, and hope.

The Organization was founded by Dr. Cheryll Holmes, PhD PsyD MDR, to bring scholarship, clinical practice, and professional community into a single institution committed to the flourishing of individuals, marriages, families, and the organizations that serve them.

Our Vision

A generation prepared to steward what matters most.

We envision a generation of individuals, couples, families, leaders, and organizations equipped to build enduring relationships and communities — grounded in truth, guided by evidence, and animated by care.

Our Purpose

Research, education, care, and community — under one roof.

The Holmes Organization exists to unite scholarship and service. Holmes Digital Campus™ is our umbrella institution — the digital home through which our six Divisions, together with the Holmes Professional Network™ and the Holmes Knowledge & Research Library™, prepare professionals and serve the public with a single standard of excellence.

Our Philosophy

The Holmes way of practicing.

Our philosophy is not a slogan. It is a discipline that shapes how we teach, how we practice, and how our professionals serve.

  • Evidence-informed

    Every practice grounded in research and refined by experience.

  • Ethical leadership

    Standards held even when they are inconvenient.

  • Measurable outcomes

    Progress we can honestly name and account for.

  • Compassionate care

    Whole persons — never case files or categories.

  • Community stewardship

    Service to individuals, families, churches, and organizations.

  • Lifelong scholarship

    A commitment to learning that outlives any single program.

Our Impact

Marriages restored. Leaders formed. Communities strengthened.

Behind every credential and every publication is a life quietly changed. Marriages once nearing collapse have been rebuilt on stronger ground. Leaders once overwhelmed have grown into stewards their people can trust. Professionals have been certified to practice with rigor, humility, and care.

Churches have been steadied for the long work of shepherding. Organizations have been formed to serve with clarity and integrity. And in cities across the country, communities are healthier because the people within them were prepared well.

This is the measure of the Organization's work — not attention gathered, but lives, households, and institutions made more whole.

Our Difference

Many organizations teach, coach, counsel, or publish. Few do so as one institution.

The Holmes Organization brings scholarship, research, clinical practice, leadership development, publishing, professional certification, and organizational consulting together under a single institutional philosophy — so that what is taught in the classroom is practiced in the clinic, refined through research, and carried into the churches and organizations we serve.

This integration is intentional. It is what allows a Holmes-trained professional, a Holmes-published work, and a Holmes-guided organization to hold to the same standard of evidence, ethics, and care. It is our most enduring differentiator.

Our Long-Term Legacy

The Holmes Organization is built to outlast any season, any single leader, and any single generation. It is designed as an institution — with governance, standards, and stewardship equal to the seriousness of its mission.

Our work is measured not only in credentials granted or clients served, but in the health of the communities shaped by those we train and the enduring standard of excellence they carry.

The Institution

One institution. Six Divisions.

Holmes Digital Campus™ is the umbrella institution. It is not itself a Division; it is the digital campus through which the Organization's six Divisions operate, each held to the same philosophy of evidence, ethics, and excellence.

The Holmes Organization

Scholarship. Stewardship. Service.

A quiet institution, deliberately built for the long work of strengthening people and the communities they call home.
