K.C. Hill, PhD, is a registered psychological associate (1447136098) completing her postdoctoral fellowship at the California Psychology Center. She received her PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her research focused on adjustment experiences, academic success, and career development of college students. She has trained in university counseling, university athletics, behavioral sleep medicine clinic, community clinic, and private practice settings. She completed her pre-doctoral internship at the University of San Francisco Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), where she provided brief therapy to undergraduate and graduate students at USF.

Dr. Hill’s training has been grounded in evidence-based practices, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi), as well as humanistic and relational approaches. She has worked extensively with high school, undergraduate, and graduate students experiencing a range of presenting problems, including anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, sleep concerns, academic and career-related stress, relationship issues, family difficulties, burnout, and perfectionism. She also enjoys working with athletes and other populations who interact with high-pressure environments (e.g., healthcare professionals, lawyers).

“I view therapy as a collaborative space where we work together to explore what matters most to you and take meaningful steps toward living in alignment with those values. My approach blends curiosity, compassion, and evidence-based practices to help you navigate life’s challenges while building resilience and self-trust. I believe that change often begins with acceptance—of ourselves, our experiences, and the reality of the moment—and from that place, new possibilities emerge. Together, we will practice making room for hard thoughts and emotions, approaching them with openness rather than avoidance, so they no longer dictate the direction of your life. I strive to create a supportive environment where you can show up authentically, explore new perspectives, and take actions that move you toward the life you want to live. I feel honored to accompany clients in these deeply personal moments of growth and discovery.”
