I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with child abuse and trauma victims. I have over 20 years of experience in a variety of settings, currently in a middle school setting. I have worked with people from a variety of backgrounds with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, abuse, bullying and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced sexual trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. You have taken the first and most important step by reaching out for help. I enjoy helping individuals learn to be their best selves. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, solution focused and mindfulness. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I am excited to work with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jill Hazell. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I am so glad that I found Jill. You can tell that she truly takes the time to listen and understand your needs and problems. She provides me with responses and exercises that really help me on my journey instead of just a cookie cutter approach I've experienced with other therapists. I've only been meeting with her for a short time and already feel like I'm making great progress in our sessions which makes me feel more hopeful about the future than I have in awhile.

Jill is amazing! She makes me feel comfortable, safe, and she listens to me like no other therapist has before.
