Hello. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I attained a Master’s Degree in Social Work at Walla Walla University in 2010. I have 15 years experience in mental and behavioral health working with people of all ages in both addictions and mental health. For the past 6 ½ years, I worked at the VA helping Veterans address symptoms associated with PTSD, Insomnia and nightmares, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, chronic pain, addictions, psychosis, and other mental health disorders. I am a transpersonal therapist which means I take a holistic, therapeutic approach that incorporates spiritual wisdom and traditions with modern psychotherapies to promote healing and growth. I use a variety of evidenced-based and best practices such as: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT and CBT-CP (VA certification in chronic pain management using CBT)), and Motivational Interviewing techniques along with cultivating greater spiritual awareness to enhance interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, and increase meaning and purpose in ones’ life. Overall, value is placed on self-awareness and open-mindedness for both the therapist and client in an honest, mindful, and non-judgmental space. Let’s take a healing journey together starting right where you are at to reach your goals and achieve more meaning in your life. I look forward to meeting you!

15 years offering treatment
Hi, I’m Hilary! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon. I have experience working with adolescents and adults with a wide range of concerns including trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, self-esteem, stress, ADHD, motivation, health and wellness, anger, parenting, and coping with challenges and adjustments. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals on an outpatient and inpatient basis within community agencies, private hospitals, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and my own private practice. Ultimately, providing therapy through this virtual platform has become my favorite modality for therapy as it breaks down barriers, opens up doors and allows you to communicate with me when and how you want. My passion is to help you move forward by taking the steps needed to move in the direction you want to. To do that, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I am also certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure and Focused Health Coaching. The approach we take together will depend on your specific situation. As everyone is different, I tailor these approaches to your specific needs, goals, and situations. Throughout our journey, I will remain warm, gentle, empathetic, and firm while pushing you to reach your goals through honesty, support and effective techniques. I work with each individual to develop and practice cognitive and behavioral coping skills to manage stress and stressful situations throughout life. I believe in finding the strengths within each of you, and using these strengths to adapt, cope, and grow. I often reinforce that if you continue to do what you’ve always done, you’ll continue to get what you’ve always gotten. So, what does all of this mean if you choose to begin therapy? It simply means we will work together to figure out how to change. We will find some thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you “stuck,” and find more helpful thoughts and behaviors that lead to feeling better emotionally and reaching your goals. I also believe the basis of any life-changing journey is a strong therapeutic relationship, and I enjoy spending time getting to know each of you to foster that support. When you are ready, I look forward meeting you, getting to know you, and supporting and empowering you to reach your goals and live the life you want to live.
