Samantha Hilden , LMHC

Samantha Hilden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of experience providing individual, family, and group therapy across inpatient and outpatient settings. She has worked with a wide range of populations, including families, individuals, couples, college-age youth, pre- and postpartum women and their families, and people facing homelessness, addictions, crisis, and trauma. Her background includes both short-term and longer-term therapeutic work tailored to each client’s needs.

Her manner is warm and genuine, and she emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can be vulnerable and engage in meaningful self work. Samantha integrates several therapeutic approaches to meet clients where they are, including client-centered methods that focus on the therapeutic relationship, solution-focused strategies that highlight practical steps, and targeted interventions such as art therapy when appropriate. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to help clients build coping skills and make changes that matter to them.

Samantha’s areas of focus include relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting and young-adult issues, self-esteem, career challenges, and coping with life changes. She also addresses family-of-origin dynamics, communication problems, guilt and shame, multicultural concerns, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and compassion fatigue. She looks forward to meeting you and supporting collaborative, individualized progress toward your goals.
