Jennifer L. Hillier: All-Inclusive BIPOC Therapist Providing Online Counseling and EMDR Therapy.
Online Counseling and Therapy in San Antonio, Texas
A Texas Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor
Hi, I’m Jennifer L. Hillier, M.A. LPC (she/her)
MY PURPOSE:
I do not buy into the stigma that counseling is for those with severe mental health. I believe that therapy is a form of self-care that everyone deserves. I’m committed to helping you become your best, so you can do your best at helping others. My life's work is helping others to fulfill theirs. Counseling with me goes beyond healing. Through deeper exploration, we will emerge with a greater understanding of who you are and what you bring to the world.
MY PROMISE TO YOU:
To be authentic and foster a genuine therapeutic relationship with you in which no words or subject is off limits for us to explore. Transparent and direct with you, even if it is uncomfortable. To be compassionate and understanding and provide guidance when examining beliefs that are preventing progress. To continuously learn and grow by committing to my education and growth to better support you in yours. As your therapist, I will challenge you to become the best version of yourself, but I am also committed to being by your side when things get uncomfortable and challenging. You will no longer have to do this alone; take comfort in knowing that you are in experienced hands now.
If you are ready to make a change, Book your session today.
MY APPROACH:
Counseling is about learning the art of being human while discovering your authentic self, finding your purpose, and determining how you will navigate your life moving forward and what it means to develop connections and be in a relationship. You'll find a safe, non-judgmental space with me to explore and practice new skills as your therapist. My therapeutic approach is designed and tailored around the specific needs of my client.
MY GOAL:
In every session, I strive to make you feel that your time with me was productive and worthwhile. Every week will look different. As therapy isn't a set process, you may process the previous week's events, explore past experiences more deeply, or gain new skills to manage future experiences. You can count on me asking, what would you like to focus on today?
MY EXPERIENCE:
I am an all-inclusive therapist who tailors my treatment approach to the specific needs of my clients. Due to my education, experience, and background, I am well-qualified to work with diverse populations and issues. Among my specialties is working with clients who have experienced trauma, toxic relationships, narcissism, abuse, and/or grief and loss. Who struggle with self-worth issues, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and co-dependency. In addition, I have experience working with individuals with mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, borderline personality disorders, panic disorders, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and schizophrenia.
MY SPECIALIZATION:
My specialization includes working with other therapists and health care professionals, first responders, attorneys, public defenders, lawyers, BIPOC, college students, LGBTIA+ communities, polyamory, and positive kink sex-friendly communities, teachers, educators, professors, and teen parents. These issues include anxiety, depression, life transitions, communication, setting boundaries, guilt and shame, relationship issues, low self-esteem, overthinking, and unresolved trauma.
