The Details
I'm Hillary, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) originally from VA turned NC State University Alum.
I have experience working with diverse populations within inpatient, community, and private practice settings of the mental health field. With my several years of experience in the field, I have found a passion of working with children, teens, parents, and families.
I strive to bring a style of therapy that is authentic and relatable to my clients. I take a person-centered approach when working with each client as this allows me to gain a deeper understand of their individual perceptions and the struggles they experience. To foster the therapeutic process, I provide support and education to parents to nurture families and ensure parents feel empowered and have what they need for caregiving. I offer collaborative services with community providers and healthcare professionals to address client and family needs through a holistic perspective. I have extensive experience and training in Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy and utilize several other evidence-based models that inform my practice noted below.
I also enjoy working with young adults and offer therapy services to those seeking support and guidance through the transition of adulthood that can often be accompanied by stress and tribulation.
It is important to me that my clients feel seen and heard, as well as given the time and space to progress in their journeys at a pace that meets them where they are. The process of mental well-being through therapy is a journey without a linear path. It is a privilege that my clients grant me in being apart of their journey, and I take great care to appreciate and respect this value at all times.
Clinical Supervision is offered as an additional professional service to provisionally licensed clinical social workers (LCSWAs). I value the opportunity and privilege to mentor fellow therapists/future LCSWs to give back and offer the passion, skills and insights I have gained through my professional journey.
Please reach out to me for any questions or additional details. I am happy to exchange contact by email as well as phone for a free 15 minute phone consultation.
