Caitlin Hill

Hello! I'm Caitlin Hill, your dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a passion for empowering individuals and families to overcome life's challenges. With a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and a rich background in psychology from Kent State University, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassionate care to my practice. My journey began in the military where I served as an active-duty officer, honing my leadership skills and learning the value of resilience. This experience has been instrumental in understanding the unique needs of military families, which I've addressed in professional conferences, highlighting virtual interventions for postpartum depression and anxiety among military spouses. I specialize in supporting adults with severe mental illnesses and co-occurring disorders. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual, utilizing evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and Solution-Focused Therapy. Whether you're a veteran seeking support or anyone looking to build healthier coping strategies, I'm here to guide you through your journey with empathy and expertise. Outside the counseling room, I have trained in EMDR therapy as well as Level 2 Natural Lifemanship for Equine Assisted Psychotherapy – because sometimes healing goes beyond traditional methods. Let's connect and start crafting your path to wellness together. Your story matters, and I'm here to listen.

To those who are hesitant to try therapy, I would want to convey that it's completely understandable to feel apprehensive about seeking help. Taking that first step can be daunting, but it's important to recognize that therapy is a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I wish I could tell them that therapy is not about being "broken" or "weak." It's about gaining insight, developing coping skills, and finding solutions to the challenges you're facing. It's a courageous act of self-care and self-discovery. I would want them to know that therapists are trained professionals who are here to listen, validate your experiences, and provide guidance and support as you work towards your goals. You have the power to create positive change in your life, and therapy can be a valuable tool on that journey. Lastly, I would emphasize that you don't have to face your struggles alone. Asking for help is a sign of strength, and therapy can offer you the support and resources you need to navigate life's ups and downs with resilience and confidence.
