Testimonials
"I started seeing Hilary to help deal with anxiety stemming from a relationship, and the positive effect she's had not only on that relationship, but also on my life in general has been immeasurable. Hilary is warm, yet focused and approaches our sessions with an amazing attention to detail. I feel extremely safe sharing any sort of issue that arises in my life. I'm happier, more confident, and my personal relationships are thriving—I have no doubt that this is largely in part to Hilary's counseling. She helps me understand myself and where my anxieties and stresses stem from, which makes me a better communicator with my boyfriend, friends, and parents.
Hilary has helped me through two difficult jobs, and her guidance has been crucial as I navigate my formidable 20's. As a former college athlete I've struggled with an eating disorder and body image issues and the stress that comes along with living amongst New Yorkers, many of whom wear a veil of confidence and ease, which tempt comparison, and can easily bring these issues back to the surface. Hilary is amazing at identifying where my triggers stem from and provides me with tools I need to help me manage them. She never fails to recognize and celebrate my progress and successes in using these tools, often pointing out things I don't notice myself. I feel extremely lucky to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough!"

"My first few years in New York post-college were tumultuous. I began to navigate an unfamiliar world and no longer recognized myself. I found myself in a job that was unfulfilling, a failing romantic relationship, and in constant need of others’ approval. My self-esteem was suffering and more often than not I felt hopeless. Hilary began counseling me when my relationship ultimately ended and I needed support to push through. Hilary was my source of strength and hope during a very tough time. She was readily available, reliable, and encouraging. She has helped me reshape my view of myself, given me tools to put one foot in front of the other, and has inspired me to believe that I am worthy and capable of living a life that I’m proud of. Because of Hilary’s counseling, I feel more confident in myself and equipped to handle the unpredictability of my 20s. I have a newfound sense of who I am and who I want to be and will forever be grateful for Hilary’s support."

"Hilary has been instrumental in helping me release blockages that have been holding me back for several years. She not only has provided helpful tools tailored to my personality, but also an empowering and collaborative space where we’ve worked to forge a successful roadmap for my strengths and weaknesses. She’s compassionate and a great listener who knows how to help guide you past the clutter and into asking the right questions. With her help and guidance, I’m entering new territory where for the first time I'm able to authentically see myself for who I am, and who I want to become."

"When I first started going to Hilary, I was waking up every morning already feeling the extreme burdens that anxiety bears.
I was unable to understand and navigate the anxiety that woke me every morning. Week in and week out Hilary not only helped to pinpoint where my anxiety was stemming from but has been extremely successful in granting me tools and providing me with ways in which I can wake up every morning feeling empowered.
Through our sessions, Hilary has helped me through unhealthy friendships, body image issues, and the anxiety and aftermath of being raised by an alcoholic mother. From the first session with Hilary, I had already felt a connection and a sense of belonging with her. She empathized with my feelings and directed me in healthier ways of dealing with them. My favorite day of the week is the day when I have my session with Hilary. She understands me in a way I never thought a therapist could and never fails to make me feel unconditionally supported. She goes the extra mile in ensuring that I feel validated, supported, and cared for. There is simply not enough space to fully express the ways in which Hilary has helped me, and I could not recommend her enough!"

"When I first decided to start going to therapy it was because I could sense a landslide coming in my life. A long term live-in relationship I’d been in felt like it was coming to an end, a career I had once felt passionate about felt lackluster at best, and what had once felt like a very clear vision for my future was dissipating rapidly. Over the first few months of my sessions with Hilary, all these issues independently came to a head, but I found myself armed with a sense of agency that I would not have otherwise had. Because of our sessions, I was able to process and adjust to these life changes more quickly than I would have been able to on my own, and was able to begin the process of rebuilding and taking back ownership of the things I felt I had lost control of. I still feel as though I’m at a point in my life where things are constantly fluctuating and evolving, but I now feel positioned to not only take the changes in stride but to also be an active part of the evolution.
In our sessions, Hilary has the unique ability to make me feel heard and validated, but to also hold me accountable and challenge me where needed. I have historically put a lot of pressure on myself to be a rock for those around me and to put my needs behind those of people in my life that I care about. Hilary is helping me to find a greater balance in how I prioritize these needs, and in turn how I exist within both romantic and non romantic relationships. While I have been seeing her for less than a year, the returns have been immediate and lasting and I can’t imagine how much more challenging the past year would have been without her guidance and support."

"I started seeing Hilary after my previous experience with therapy didn’t go so well. I was a little hesitant to try therapy again, but I knew I wanted to make changes in my life. Over the last few months Hilary has helped me understand and transform the anxiety and self-esteem issues I’ve dealt with for a while that I didn’t think were “serious enough” for therapy. She helped me realize where my issues stem from and examine how these issues manifest themselves in my life in ways I didn’t even see at first. By realizing where my anxiety and self-esteem issues originate, she helped me figure out ways to overcome the issues I thought I would never change, and become closer to the person I want to be. It’s really nice to feel like someone is genuinely able to understand and help me. It’s become so much easier to recognize when I’m anxious, what triggers it, and how I can express myself in healthier ways in these moments. She has also helped me tremendously to identify the needs and wants I have in my relationships, whether these are romantic relationships, friendships, or familial relationships. I’ve been able to acknowledge and communicate these needs more effectively which has helped me recognize my value, and improve my ability to maintain healthy relationships with those I’m closest to."

"I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for many years and have gone to several different professionals in the hope of overcoming my issues. For me, Hilary has been extremely helpful in my journey. Many therapists that I have gone to just sit there and take notes whereas Hilary listens and then provides really helpful feedback. She has the ability to relate to me on a personal level, as well as a professional one. This is a rare quality in a therapist, and I feel fortunate to have found her. I leave every session with a smile on my face and a weight lifted off my shoulders. I couldn't recommend her more highly!"
