Jarid Hill

I’m Jarid Hill, a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor with a master’s degree. I offer individual therapy for adults dealing with trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and burnout. I’m especially drawn to working with people who are used to being capable and dependable, even when they’re struggling inside. You may understand your patterns and still feel caught in them, even after years of therapy. My clinical training focuses on experiential and trauma therapies. I bring a warm, direct style and value a relationship where you can tell me when something doesn’t fit.

AEDP is the foundation of my work. It focuses on working through emotions as you experience them in a supportive relationship. I stay actively involved: I’ll ask questions, share what I notice, and help you slow down when something important comes up. We might notice a held breath, explore an urge to shut down, or make room for sadness, anger, relief, or pride. I also draw on IFS to understand parts of you with competing needs, and may use EMDR or Brainspotting for trauma work. I’ll explain what we’re doing and why, and we’ll adjust the pace together.

The first session is a chance for us to understand what you’re dealing with and how we might work together. I’ll ask about your history, current concerns, and what you hope will change. We’ll discuss how I work and make room for your questions. You don’t need to arrive knowing how to open up. If you feel anxious, go blank, or struggle to find words, we can start there. We may begin noticing what happens as you talk about something important, and we’ll check the pace together. By the end, we’ll identify an initial focus for our work.
