I am a bilingual (English/français) Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO and offer individual counselling and psychotherapy virtually across Ontario.

I am passionate about helping others with their mental health journey, and have particular interest in working with those who are grieving the loss of a loved one or who are currently experiencing distress from being a primary caregiver to a loved one who is dying.

Finding a therapist whom you feel hears and understands you is important. You can expect emphasis to be placed on building a strong connection through empathy and compassion while I walk alongside you on your journey to healing.

Hilary believes in the mind-body connection and the importance of taking a comprehensive approach to address the overall well-being of clients. Areas of expertise include grief, anxiety and depression disorders, adjustment issues, Lyme disease, and the role of nutrition in psychological wellness. Hilary possesses a broad understanding of mental health issues and recognizes the importance of providing compassionate care. She is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to share, grieve, explore, heal, and grow. Hilary describes being present for the deaths of her paternal grandfather and grandmother as an honor and a privilege. She is intimately familiar with grief having lost her mother to cancer, and her cousin and uncle who died by suicide. When she is not working in her own private nutrition practice or counseling clients, Hilary teaches indoor cycling at Ida Lee Park Recreation Center in Leesburg, VA, where she has been a fitness instructor since 2007.

– Individual therapy for NJ residents

– Virtual support group for mothers who are pregnant after the loss of a child ages 9 months and older.

– Peer-to-peer program called COPE (Connecting Our Personal Experiences).  COPE matches newly bereaved parents to those further out in their loss for guidance and support.  This is a free program for bereaved parents sponsored by the nonprofit Love From Lydia, which I started in memory of my daughter.  We are also looking for volunteers so if you are a bereaved parent at least one year out from the loss of your child and want to help others within our community, please consider submitting a volunteer application.  Both the newly bereaved parent referral and volunteer application can be found at http://lovefromlydia.com/cope
