“My experience with Hillary is always one of a safe place. Her honest compassion and patience is comforting and helps me feel the courage to voice my challenges and inner thoughts openly. She always provides me something to leave with that will help me in my day, whether it be a thought to think about, a technique to try or a resource for further growth. She’s consistent, nonjudgmental and reliable. My time with her has proven to be a big part of my personal change and self care.”

Getting to know Hillary Schoninger
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing approachable and compassionate psychotherapy to individuals and families.
I use a client-centered approach that is personalized based on your individual needs, desires, and strengths. I am passionate about offering compassion, support, and guidance to those I work with while creating an open and positive environment where my clients can feel comfortable to grow.
I completed my undergraduate degree in political science at Lake Forest College in 2007 and went on to receive my MSW (Masters in Social Work) from Loyola University Chicago in 2010. Prior to founding my private psychotherapy practice, I worked as a Crisis Therapist at Community Counseling Centers of Chicago.
In 2017, I received my Yoga Instructor Certification through Yoga Now Chicago. Today, I incorporate yoga and its mindfulness-based principles into my private psychotherapy practice. I also have training in and experience with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and incorporate these modalities into my approach.
I believe in working with my clients to develop and enhance healthy coping skills, recognize and redirect negative patterns, and cultivate acceptance and self-awareness in order to heal holistically.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health: we all have our own challenges, our own personal experiences, and our own strengths and struggles. In my practice, treatment direction and goals are personalized for optimal happiness.

Hillary is the kindest, most approachable therapist I’ve worked with. Her compassionate demeanor meets me where I am—and in the last year it has been a place of difficulty. She has played a vital role in my healing journey during a very challenging transition in my life. Her style is truly empowering—the strategies and tools she has shared with me have been crucial to my growth. Without her wise counsel, inspiring words of hope, and gentle recommendations, I would not be where I am.
