Christa Hill

Christa Hill

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I earned my Bachelor's degree in Social Work and later my Master's in Social Work, becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have extensive experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and major life transitions. While I welcome adults from all backgrounds, I have a special passion and expertise in working with Women of Color. I understand the unique pressures many women carry—the expectation to always be strong, care for everyone else, and keep pushing even when they're emotionally exhausted. My goal is to provide a culturally responsive, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're navigating grief, divorce, burnout, empty nesting, or rediscovering yourself, I'll meet you with compassion, honesty, and practical tools to help you move forward.

Therapist

My passion is helping others find their voice and navigate life’s challenges with greater intention and balance. Sometimes finding your voice means learning to understand what you need, set boundaries, and make space for the life you actually want. I work with adults, particularly those navigating relationships, major life changes, trauma, or who feel disconnected from themselves. Whether you're working through relationship challenges, recovering from difficult experiences, or simply realizing you want something to change, my goal is to support you in living more authentically and in alignment with your goals.
