About me

Hello, my name is Tonya Hillman and I would love to help guide you through many of life’s challenges. Having worked for nine years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in two states, Missouri
and Alabama, and currently working towards my Ph.d in Counseling Education and Supervision, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals and couples on a multitude of platforms.
These platforms include relationship development, coping with anxiety and depression, working to manage bi-polar disorder, processing trauma, and coping with loss and grief. I model my counseling style to be warm, inviting, nonjudgmental, attentive, and drawing primarily from the Cognitive-Behavior approach. This approach identifies the negativity within your life and helps you to process and change these thoughts through behavioral changes and coping strategies.
Seeking help for today’s challenges is an important and sometimes difficult decision and not one I take lightly. I will develop a specific treatment plan based on your needs to help you accomplish your therapeutic goals. I am here for you.

She is extremely supportive but she does not allow you to indulge in self pity. She keeps moving you on toward healing.

Tonya is awesome. She listens and helps me see things from a different perspective. She doesnt just tell me what I want to hear and she is smart. I truly value her opinion and appreciate her. I would recommend her to anyone.

Tonya is a wonderful Counselor that was ready to listen to me and helped me to identify my struggles and how to best combat them. She was always kind, but willing to tell me something that I need to hear, even though sometimes I didn't necessarily want to hear it. I am very thankful for her and her work!
