My name is Denise Hill, and I am a therapist with 17 years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges and transitions. I believe that each person is the expert on their own life. While generalizations can sometimes be helpful, they often overlook the unique experiences, perspectives, and circumstances that shape who we are.

No two people experience the world in exactly the same way. Our lives are influenced by factors such as personal history, identity, relationships, power, privilege, and significant life events. Because of this, I am most interested in understanding your story. Together, we can explore the barriers that may be affecting your success, self-worth, and overall well-being, while identifying strengths and opportunities for growth, healing, and fulfillment.

I completed my education in California and my post graduate work in Hawaii. My training had a heavy emphasis in relationships but my career has been heavily clinical. I have worked in a residential treatment center for substance use as well as eating disorders, a psych hospital, a university, a church counseling center, and private practice shared with psychiatry. Very few topics I am not competent to tackle with you at this point!

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist with an additional Masters in Humanistic, Transpersonal Psychology. I enjoy working with adults and couples who are seeking deeper self-understanding, healthier relationships, and lasting emotional change. I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, communication, stress, life transitions, and personal growth. My style is warm, engaging, and insight oriented while offering practical tools that you can use immediately. I strive to create a space that feels safe, authentic, collaborative, and free of judgment. Clients often appreciate my balance of depth, compassion, creativity, knowledge, humor, and real-world perspectives.

Being a therapist has consistently helped me find special compassion for those in need. I started my practice based on three core beliefs: growth, resilience, and empowerment. I believe that every person is worthy of success, happiness, and wellness. This often involves changing dysfunctional habits, reframing beliefs about the self and the world, and empowerment. All things are possible, but don't need to be accomplished alone!

Hello and welcome! While maintaining an eclectic approach, my purpose is to provide you with a collaborative partnership in which you control the direction of

therapy. I serve to provide a non-judgmental approach toward presenting issues and with the

collaborative effort help identify goals that would translate to facilitative action outside of the clinic

through various treatment options.

I have been a Social Worker for 30 years! That's crazy for me to think about because I am not THAT old......and I have learned a lot (about myself) along the way. I have learned that I do like to talk to people more than I let on. I have learned that I can be very patient listener and I give good feedback. And, I have learned that, at some point, we all have to make changes in our lives and that can be scary. I have also learned it's not as scary when we talk about it out loud........just saying.
