Hilary Tolson
As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide compassionate counseling that is designed around what each person may be struggling with. My hope for you is to help enhance well-being, build self-awareness, restore emotional balance and foster healing and acceptance. With over 20 years experience in the field, I have seen how depression, anxiety, PTSD, among many other issues can impact our ability to thrive. I specialize in working through bad news, failures or unwanted changes that we all experience and find a way through with hope and direction. I established Fail Safe Counseling for this purpose.
First session
Starting this counseling journey can feel scary. It is hard to be vulnerable and share about things. I want the first session to ease that fear, build trust and promote a comfortable environment for you to explain your situation and desired outcomes. We will pursue those goals together one step at a time.
Strengths
We are not made to do life alone and many times we notice life is managing us more then we are managing life. I partner with each person toward a simpler way to handle the complexities of self, life and relationships. I am here to walk with you on your journey to prevent emotional collapse and put fail safes in place. I integrate evidence-based approaches to handle what keeps coming at us.
Ideal clients
I am licensed to provide counseling in AZ and IL with more states to come. Counseling takes place by phone or video in the comfort of your own home. Find a private space where you can relax and talk freely. I have worked with all ages but tend to meet the needs of young adults, new and middle-aged parents and retired individuals.
