Mr. Kyle Hill LMSW-C

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep desire to be a source of stability and support for others — especially those who often feel overlooked or unheard. Growing up in a community where mental health wasn’t always openly discussed, I saw firsthand how stress, trauma, and systemic barriers could weigh heavily on individuals and families. This inspired me to pursue a degree in Criminal Justice, where I gained insight into how social systems affect behavior and well-being. But it was during this time that I realized my true calling wasn’t in enforcement or policy — it was in helping people heal, grow, and take back control of their stories. That realization led me to earn my Master of Social Work and specialize in clinical therapy. Today, I feel honored to walk alongside clients — especially Black men, young adults, and professionals — as they navigate challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with their purpose. Being a therapist is more than a profession for me — it’s a mission rooted in empathy, justice, and hope.
