About me
I am an experienced therapist who is dedicated to helping adults and adolescents cope with anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Mental health is steadily gaining global recognition. Fortunately, with exposure comes greater access to treatment for those with mental health concerns. Unfortunately, the flip-side to increased exposure is standardization; society is quick to turn to diagnoses and labels to simplify the complexities of human beings. Although diagnoses can be helpful, it is important to remember: you are not just not a label or a diagnosis. With Cal Hilsman at Compassionate Acceptance for Life (CAL), you will find a therapist that prizes each client as unique and encourages self exploration beyond the standard internet search.
Cal is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), a unique treatment proven to alleviate problem symptoms rapidly. Cal also uses aspects of ACT, Mindfulness, Existential, Experiential, and Person Centered Therapy. Above all, Cal believes in a strong therapeutic relationship to promote lasting change and wellness.
Cal can truly help you! He is genuine in his desire to join alongside clients in the therapeutic journey. Send an email, use the website, or make a phone call with the contacts provided in order to schedule a free consultation. You are guaranteed to receive professional, reliable, and thoughtful treatment with Cal at Compassionate Acceptance for Life.
