Hilary Goulding is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate relationship challenges, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and emotional well-being. She earned both her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and her Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California (USC). Her work has spanned schools, addiction treatment programs, military communities, and private practice;  experiences that have shaped her belief that healing is never one-size-fits-all and that lasting change happens when therapy addresses the whole person.

Hilary’s style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, while also practical and goal-oriented. She believes effective therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, one where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore vulnerable experiences without judgment. Her approach draws on evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Gottman Method for couples therapy, Polyvagal Theory, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, along with somatic and nervous system-based interventions that honor the connection between mind and body. By helping clients understand how stress, trauma, and relationship experiences are held in the nervous system, she supports them in building emotional regulation, resilience, and deeper connection with themselves and others. For Hilary, healing is about more than reducing distress; it is about creating a life and relationships that feel authentic, connected, and meaningful, and she is honored to walk alongside her clients as they cultivate self-awareness and lasting change.
