Hi, my name is Hilary Settlemire. I have my Master's in Social Work. I currently have my LCSW. My approach to therapy is to make sure that it is client-centered and working on you to become your best self.
My approach
My approach to therapy is using CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy. I want to work on being aware of your behaviors and being able to work through them with you.
My focus
My focus areas are adults with ADHD, Bipolar, Anxiety, and Depression. I also like to work with couples and marriage complications. I am open to helping anyone through what they are going through.
My communication style
I am a very energetic person and like to laugh in session. I want us to have a therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable with me and coming to me with whatever you are going through without judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
When I was in high school, I said I wanted to be a social worker. I then thought I wanted to be a nurse, went to nursing school, and was not happy. I found myself talking to the patients a lot and wanting to know their story. I then remembered why I wanted to be a social worker. I like to help people and be their support system through difficult times and amazing times. I love what I do, and it never feels like work or a job; it feels like my passion.
My goals for you
Goals are very important so that we know what and where we are going and how much progress we have made.
My first session with you
Our first session will be us getting to know each other and building the foundation of our relationship and me asking a lot of questions to get to know you and what you want to get out of therapy.
