“Let me tell you how AMAZING Amy is. I’ve been in therapy on and off for the past 30 years and have never met anyone like her. She knows her stuff, she hits the nail on the head every time with whatever I’m going through, puts up with me being constantly ten minutes late and is as real as they come. From my very first meeting I loved her and felt I finally found someone that will be able to help me & not just listen and ask how that makes me feel. She’s insightful and makes me see things that I never realized. She also can tell the kind of life I had by my personality. She blows me away with her accuracy. She’s warm understanding and lets me know she’s there for me at any time if need be.”

What should a new client know about working with you?

In a supportive non judgmental down-to-earth atmosphere I believe in complete transparency and fully engaging each client to ensure a person centered approach to treatment and goal setting. I work with individuals and families through a HIPPA secure online portal. I specialize in several areas including women's issues, parenting issues, depression, anxiety, emotional distress, trauma, coping and problem solving skills, anger management, and people struggling with their day-to-day emotions and stressful situations that impact well being and decision making. Religious and Spiritually Diverse, LGBTQIA+ Ally I understand the unique needs of adolescents and their families during their important yet difficult transformative years, while assisting them to find themselves and their path and life. I believe in straightforward discussions about family, family conflict, life, love, stress, bullying, emotional regulation, oppositional behavior, social awkwardness, low self esteem, and feeling overwhelmed or out of control with day-to-day life demands. Together I will help you work towards learning self awareness, identify and supportively eliminate negative beliefs that promote self doubt, self devaluing thoughts, behaviors, and fears, all while learning to communicate more openly and effectively, promoting a sense of growth, independence, problem solving, coping skills, resiliency, and an over all healthy wellbeing.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Once scheduled on Zocdoc; you will recieve an email from "Amy-Jo Hilts, LCSW, LICSW, CAMS-II, BC-TMH" within 48 hours (prior to appointment) requesting you to log in to the Akeeso client portal, and complete your intake forms prior to your first appointment. Your appointment/session will take place on that platform/website throught the video component of the client portal. You can email Amy directly (if necessary) once logged in.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $180 for 45 minutes
Ongoing session: $145 for 45 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
