Meet Hilary

Hilary Kinavey, MS, LPC specializes in eating disorders and weight-related concerns, in addition to healing from trauma, anxiety and depression and addictions. She is dedicated to helping others live conscious, authentic lives by cultivating a healthy relationship between food, mind, and body.

Hilary’s Approach
I believe that counseling is an integral tool in healing. Counseling is intended to help people move towards an integrated sense of self, an enhanced understanding of your own inner resources and strengths, and an enhanced sense of self-efficacy.

I work in partnership with clients to develop a deeper understanding of their personal challenges and inner wisdom as well as their personal story. As a counselor, I place an emphasis on developing insight, mindfulness, and empathy for self. My counseling style is warm, casual and down to earth.

I am respectful of each individual’s own process in therapy. I draw upon mindfulness practice in combination with cognitive-behavioral techniques, family systems theory and motivational interviewing. I am trained in EMDR, Phase I & II.

Food/Weight/Body Image Concerns
