Jackie Hill, LICSW

The decision to come to therapy can be very difficult; the idea of opening up to talk about some of the harder things you are dealing with can be daunting and intimidating-but it doesn't have to be. My work as a clinical social worker has taught me that thoughtful and compassionate reflection through therapy can help individuals grow and change. We all have blind spots and obstacles in our lives, and a warm, understanding, and non-biased perspective can be immensely helpful. Therapy can be a powerful tool in relieving distress, learning about oneself, and living a more fulfilled life. 

​

I work with adolescents, college-aged students, adults, and parents offering a highly individualized approach to work through challenges and obstacles they are facing. Using a warm and engaging approach, I work with clients to create a strong and safe therapeutic relationship and collaborate to create a treatment plan that works for them and their goals. I put a lot of time and effort into getting to know my clients, their world, and their experiences and truly enjoy cultivating these relationships. In sessions, I pair the process of building these relationships with learning and developing new skills through effective therapeutic models such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and interpersonal models of psychotherapy. Clients have described me as genuine, transparent, funny, supportive, and empathic.

​

My clinical experience includes working with people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, learning disabilities, navigating life transitions, emerging adulthood, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, school and career challenges, and parenting work. I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including early childhood schools, high schools, college counseling centers, and private practice.
