Dr. Kimberly Hillery

Welcome,

I’m glad you’re considering taking this important step. I hold a PhD in Social Work with a specialization in Addictions, as well as a Master’s degree in Social Work. With many years of dedicated clinical experience, I have had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults, families, couples, and groups from diverse backgrounds.

I am here to help you navigate whatever challenges you may be facing—whether it’s depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, or major life changes. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop self-awareness, and achieve lasting personal growth. I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you at every stage of your journey.

Most importantly, I want you to feel safe, welcomed, and supported from the very start. Together, we will create an open and collaborative space where you are truly heard, respected, and encouraged to make positive changes that matter to you. Your comfort and sense of empowerment will always be my top priorities as we work together.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in trusted, evidence-based methods, including Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am dedicated to offering support that is effective, genuinely compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. We will move forward together at a pace that feels right for you, ensuring each step aligns with your personal goals and comfort level.

Throughout our time together, I will share practical tools and strategies you can use in your daily life—whether it’s managing stress, working through difficult emotions, or building healthy habits. My goal is to provide steady support, encouragement, and honest feedback, so you can feel confident, empowered, and motivated as you make positive changes.

First, I learn about your strengths, challenges, and goals. Then, we work together to make a plan that fits you. I teach simple skills to help you manage stress, change unhelpful thoughts, and handle difficult feelings. I check in with you regularly and give helpful feedback.
