“Hilary is an exceptional therapist. She has a rare gift of being completely non-judgmental while still challenging me in ways that help me grow. Her insights often help me connect the dots between past experiences and the challenges I face today. Our work together has also transformed how I navigate relationships, including my relationship with myself, friendships, and relationships with coworkers and managers. She helps me recognize patterns, understand where they come from, and find healthier ways forward. I leave sessions feeling supported, understood, and empowered. I can’t recommend Hilary highly enough.”

Getting to know Hilary Hovis
Whether you're navigating a complex relationship with your body and food, struggling with the emotional toll of infertility, or adjusting to the identity shifts of early motherhood—therapy can be a space where you don't have to explain, perform, or justify your pain. I specialize in helping adults, particularly women and non-binary folks, unpack the deeper roots of body image distress, disordered eating patterns, and reproductive grief. My clients often say they “look fine on paper,” but internally feel anxious, ashamed, or disconnected from their bodies—especially in seasons of change like IVF, pregnancy loss, or postpartum.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As both a therapist and someone who has walked through these chapters personally, I understand how heavy it can feel when your body becomes the battleground for control, comparison, or unmet expectations. I use a trauma-informed, relational, and narrative-based approach to help you make sense of your story.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our work, you can expect a balance of humor, honesty, and validation. We'll explore both past patterns and present triggers, and build coping tools that actually feel like support, not punishment. If you're ready for a therapeutic space that honors your lived experience without judgment, I’d be honored to support you.

I’ve been seeing Hilary since 2020 and she truly has changed my life. She’s supported me through many phases of life, including recovery from an eating disorder, body image issues, navigating different relationships, wedding planning, my fertility journey, and now pregnancy. As someone that was scared of therapy before starting, she makes it easy and enjoyable. Everyone should have a provider like her in their life!
