Hello and welcome, I’m Hilary, a certified yoga therapist through the International Associations of Yoga Therapists with YogaLife Institute. In addition, a 500 hr certified yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance, earning my first 200 hr yoga teacher training through The Mindful School of Yoga in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2018. Yoga has been an integral aspect of my life as the teenage years approached and big changes began physically, mentally, and socially. It has been one of my brightest guiding lights, continuously leading back to myself from then until today.

Hi, I'm Ellery. I consider it a privilege to work with individuals that are actively seeking change. I understand that it is uncomfortable to discuss intimate life topics with a stranger, and believe that trust building is essential to the growth of a client. As a therapist, it is my top priority to provide a safe and welcoming space where you will feel respected, supported, and heard. I believe therapy needs to be collaborative and am always looking for client input on what is working and why.

I work as a therapist because I believe we can experience real healing in our lives. The broken world in which we live frequently leaves scars and wounds. And we often wound others. As a Christian therapist I believe God heals significantly. I work with Christians and non Christians alike with respect for individual values and beliefs. Therapy begins with developing a respectful, trusting relationship. The client and therapist begin a journey to enable the client to reconcile, their past, their present, and their beliefs. It can enable them to work toward future goals successfully.

Your anxieties and worries are controlling too much of your life. That anxious inner voice won’t quiet down, and it’s just so convincing - you're frustrated that you listen to it, but you're scared not to. What if you ignore it and your worst fears come true? You know it’s irrational, but your anxiety just won’t let your brain believe the truth. You overthink so many things, and your inner dialog is exhausting you.

The foundation of my practice is based on the 4 principles of Empathy, Encouragement, Awareness, and Empowerment.
I believe the objective of counseling is to help individuals make sense out of emotional chaos. This comes through primarily understanding two things, 1. We are products of our environment, we do what we know. 2. We all have the power to change unhealthy or unwanted behavior.
My experience as a Crisis Counselor as well as an individual counselor has given me experience with just about any issue. Please let me know what you're struggling with and we can determine together if I can be supportive.

I like to the heart of the matter quickly and then work with my clients to co-creative solutions tailored to their specific needs. My clients describe being in therapy with me as being involved in 'deeper work.' The deeper work may be related to the past, but it also could be doing a deeper dive into your current life and finding healthier ways to cope. I am trained in leadership assessment and coaching and I consult with family-owned businesses. In addition, to my psychology license in Michigan, I also am approved to provide telehealth services in Florida

If you're searching for a therapist who will encourage you to stay in counseling for years while holding your hand singing camp songs, I suggest you keep looking. But if you prefer a trained clinician whose approach to counseling is goal-oriented and solution-focused, contact my office staff to set up an appointment. You can trust that I will be sensitive and empathetic, but since you are hiring me to do a job, I will be directive in identifying the best approach to solve your problems. Most of my clinical practice focuses on Relational/Marriage issues as well as Anxiety/Depression.
