Hilary Boynton

I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience as a Clinician in multiple settings including outpatient mental health clinics, private practice, and schools. In those settings, I have worked with the full gamut of clients from diverse backgrounds ranging in age from 5 to 95 who have presented with a wide range of issues respectively including: Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Phobias, Trauma, Abuse, Domestic Violence, Racial and Ethnic Identification, Grief, Loss, Anger-Management difficulties, Relational Conflict, Family Conflict, Career Transitions, Compassion Fatigue, Life Changes, ADHD, Inattention, Hyperactivity, OCD, Weight, Body-Image, and Low Self-Esteem.
As a Private Practitioner, I primarily provide evidence-based therapies including Brief, Cognitive, Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, Solution-Focused, Transpersonal Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, and Coaching to help adults achieve their chosen goals within a short-term time frame. Once my clients have achieved their chosen goals for the current episode of therapy, they can choose to end treatment or decide to continue working with me and transition into long-term therapy such as Psychodynamic Therapy and examine underlying issues including intrapsychic conflicts, object-relations, and attachment.
My therapy style is authentic, direct, interactive, warm, and empathic. I believe that psychotherapy can provide emotional healing when one is motivated, ready to make changes, do the work, and willing to enter into a partnership with one's Therapist to embark on a collaborative journey towards one's improved state of being. With every client, I begin a relational journey of building and sustaining a trust within a safe, nurturing, judgement-free space to encourage, guide, support, coach, and witness each Client becoming a new version of self.
