A Well Built Well-Being

Hi! Let's talk about it! I'm Hilary, a psychotherapist with over 17 years of experience. I am committed to helping adults discover and take steps to build and improve their mental health and well-being. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to help you reach your goals, as I believe you are the expert in your life and the approach we take together will be tailored the specific needs, goals, and situations of each of you. Throughout our therapeutic journey, I offer a warm, gentle, empathetic, and supportive environment while remaining firm and pushing you to reach your goals through support, empathy and effective evidence-based techniques. I believe in finding the strengths within each of you, and using these strengths to adapt, cope, and grow. I also believe the basis of any life-changing journey is a strong therapeutic relationship and finding a therapist that is a good fit for you. I encourage you to schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit. I enjoy spending time getting to know each of you to foster that rapport in a supportive, safe place. 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. I offer psychotherapy virtually so you can engage in therapy with the convenience and comfort of your home or wherever you want to connect. Virtual therapy allows me to connect with individuals throughout all of South Carolina and Oregon. I am self-pay only, and therefore do not accept insurance. With that in mind, I can create a "superbill" upon request and you can submit this documentation to your insurance company for potential out of network benefits (although this is not a guarantee). Please note that if you wish to submit a superbill to your insurance company, your insurance will require a mental health diagnosis. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Experimental Psychology and Master of Social Work (MSW) degrees in addition to a Certificate of Graduate Study in Drug and Addiction Studies from the University of South Carolina. I am also certified in Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker of Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon. I have worked in various clinical settings including virtual/telehealth therapy, inpatient and residential mental health treatment centers, community-based mental health and substance use centers, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and in-person private practice. I am married with two children who keep me on my toes and inspire me to continue growing personally and professionally. I enjoy all that comes along with being a mom, being with friends and family, being outside in nature, celebrating holidays and life's unexpected moments, football, and my two dogs. When you are ready, I am here and look forward to meeting you!
