Welcome, my name is Kristen and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’ve been in the field since 2014 and have work with all ages, families, and relationships. I specialize in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, family conflicts, parenting issues, trauma and abuse. I also have extensive work with neurodivergent disorders, such as Autism, FASD, and/or intellectual disabilities. With these specialties, I utilize several different treatment modalities in my work including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, strength-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing therapy.
Do you find yourself in an unhealthy relationship with food, no matter what you do?

In my therapy practice, I work with a lot of people who are great at managing some aspects of their lives, but struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism and relationship issues. They can be so good at helping others, but never learned how to show up for themselves in the same way! I had my own first experience with therapy when I was in college: it was rigid and uncomfortable and not helpful...so I am intentionally here to offer the opposite experience. You'll find that I am laid back, and have a balance of compassion with sass/swearing. I'll help you understand the root of why things are showing up the way they are for you right now, and provide you the space and tools to shift how you are thinking, feeling, and showing up in your life. For clients who are interested, I also incorporate spiritual (not religious) and energetic tools to help the healing process. Check out my website to learn more!

Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, it’s still not enough? Maybe you’re stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, anxiety, or low mood that keeps you from truly enjoying life. Old wounds or difficult past experiences may still affect your relationships, self-worth, or ways of coping, making it hard to find stability and peace. Despite all your efforts, that deep sense of confidence and inner calm remains hard to find. In our work together, we can explore these patterns and underlying challenges, using effective approaches like CBT, DBT and EMDR therapy to help address and heal past trauma and unhelpful belief systems. If these struggles resonate, I’m here to help. My practice focuses on supporting individuals facing challenges with self-worth, anxiety, depression, life transitions and the impact of past trauma. In our work together, we’ll dive into these patterns, uncover their roots, and develop practical strategies for healing and growth. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Together, we’ll work toward a stronger, more confident you—ready to meet life’s challenges with resilience and embrace your true worth.
I’m passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate the impact of trauma and life’s many challenges. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens through genuine connection and that you are the expert in your own story. Together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you, gently exploring and processing distressing thoughts, feelings, memories, and behaviors. Whether you’re struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, or ADHD, I offer a supportive, strength-based space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered to move toward clarity and balance. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tailoring these approaches to your unique needs and goals. Compassion, curiosity, and respect guide every step of our work together. As a trained EMDR therapist, I offer this powerful, healing approach when we mutually decide it’s a good fit. EMDR can help your mind and body process distressing experiences and restore a greater sense of calm and stability. My role is to walk alongside you on this journey helping you build insight, resilience, and meaningful tools that support lasting change.
Each of us can benefit from additional support. Life can bring unexpected loss, seasons of change, or periods of suffering. Having a consistent space to process your experiences and work toward growth can help you find meaning and flourish. Our therapists are committed to your health and well-being. Whether you are seeking help with challenging life circumstances or desiring personal growth and development, our one-on-one sessions with a licensed clinician offer the valuable support to help you thrive. We intentionally limit the number of clients each therapist works with, to provide you exemplary care and attention. Our therapists practice 100% on Telehealth and we provide you with a HIPAA compliant video link for your sessions. This enables you to complete your session in the comfort of your home and the environment of your choosing. This is tailored for your connivence so that you can incorporate therapy in your busy life.
Many of the students I see are going through a tough or confusing time. You might feel overwhelmed by classes, pressure to succeed, or uncertainty about your future. Maybe you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, past trauma, or experiences that still affect how you feel or relate to others. Some feel emotionally stuck, isolated, or caught in patterns they want to change — including around substance use. You don’t need to have it all figured out. If you’re looking for a space where you can be yourself, talk honestly, and feel supported without judgment, therapy can help.

The hope of The Counseling Center of Great Lakes is to be able to offer support and encouragement to people in their communities by helping them find hope and healing through professional counseling. Hillary earned a Master of Arts in Counseling degree from Spring Arbor University (2020) and is licensed in the state of Michigan as a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC) and the State of Illinois as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). After starting CCGL with her co-owners in 2020, her family transitioned to Illinois in 2024 and she began working at Monte Nido Chicago Day Treatment as a PHP/IOP Primary Therapist where she worked with clients who were in a higher level of care for eating disorders. Her experience working these different levels of care also provided further experience working with clients struggling with various mental illnesses including a variety of eating disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, OCD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and various personality disorders. After a year away, Hillary realized that she missed the atmosphere of private practice and CCGL, so she transitioned back and is currently seeing clients through telehealth exclusively. Hillary believes the counseling process is a mutually constructive effort between both the client and the counselor. Her approach to counseling is to gain understanding of the client as a whole person. In order for change to occur, the client must feel like they have the space to be their authentic selves. She offers interventions from various schools of treatment thought, choosing interventions based on their suitability and perceived benefit to the client and his or her stated goals. Hillary believes every client wants to feel seen and heard; and is honored to get to journey alongside her clients to offer hope and healing.

Therapy is a space that allows you to identify what is getting in your way and learn how to move towards where you want to be. I focus on helping you build insight around your experiences so you can identify what changes can be made as well as what skill building can be done to create the outcomes you are looking for. I work with people who have symptoms from anxiety, depression, trauma or addiction by using a person centered approach that both validates your experience and supports you in the change you are working towards.
