I like people. I want people to see the value in themselves and others. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, clinical social worker, family court expert, and education advocate. My experience allows me to identify and therapeutically process subtleties, complexities, and inconsistencies in an individual's presentation, without judgment. We are human, and what life gives us, whether through biology or social circumstances, can be extremely challenging. No problem is too big or too small to be overwhelming or insignificant.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in working with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings. I began my career as a substance use counselor, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding how life stressors, trauma, and mental health challenges are often interconnected. This experience led me to expand my training to better support individuals with a wide range of concerns.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, anger management, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting clients navigating grief, family challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation and relationships. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, motivational interviewing, client-centered approaches, and play-based interventions to meet clients where they are developmentally and emotionally.

I help clients understand what they’re experiencing and build tools they can actually use. Together, we reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve relationships. My approach is supportive, direct, and tailored to you. I also offer EMDR to process past experiences so they have less impact on your present.

I believe therapy begins with trust, respect, and a genuine human connection. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable being themselves. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing, recognize your strengths, and work toward meaningful changes that support your well-being and the life you want to build.

I specialize in helping individuals who are dealing with stress, anxiety and / or depression. We can't control what happens much of the time but can learn to navigate it.

I have a deep understanding and extensive clinical experience working with people who have been impacted by cancer or other life-altering medical diagnoses or situations. I believe therapy should be a collaborative space built on compassion and curiosity.

Hello there! This is a big step and you should be proud of yourself for reaching out for support.

My name is Vanessa Hill, and as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with a diverse range of clients who are seeking support to handle challenges such as anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, and life transitions. I have 9 years of experience providing compassionate and individualized mental health care. I work with adolescents and adults in a tele-health setting.

If you're driven, dedicated, and ready for change but feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, negative self-talk, or self-doubt, you're not alone. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, build confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health and a second Master's in the Art of Teaching. I specialize in women's issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and personal growth. My approach is person-centered and strength-based, providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, develop practical coping skills, and move toward the life you want to create.

My clinical experience includes working with adults, adolescents, and children in inpatient, school-based, and community mental health settings. In addition to my clinical work, I am the author of a children's book on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), reflecting my passion for making emotional wellness and coping skills accessible at every stage of life. These experiences have equipped me to support clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of difficult life experiences.

My goal is to help you quiet your inner critic, embrace your strengths, and become the most authentic version of yourself.

Welcome to the first step to your healing journey!

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about coming home to yourself. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, more seen, and more aligned with who you really are, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

I am passionate about helping people find clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to themselves. I work with adults and older adults navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions—and I offer a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. I was drawn to this work because of my own journey. Growing up, I often found myself holding space for others—listening deeply, asking questions, and offering comfort. Over time, I realized that being present with people in their pain, and witnessing their growth, was not just something I cared about—it was something I was meant to do. That sense of purpose continues to guide me today.
