Intake Coordinator

Philosophy of Care

My name is Tammi Hillian, and I have a background in health homecare, where I spent much of my career providing compassionate care to those in need. Throughout my time in the field, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the challenges people face and the importance of offering support in their most vulnerable moments. Helping others has always been my passion, and it’s been a driving force in everything I do, both personally and professionally. My experience has not only given me invaluable insight into the healthcare system but has also strengthened my ability to empathize with individuals from all walks of life, allowing me to truly connect with them on a deeper level.

Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in business, which is allowing me to expand my skills and knowledge in new ways. I’m excited to blend my healthcare experience with my growing business expertise, as I believe this combination will enable me to make a greater impact as my goal is always to help others and make a positive difference in their lives.

In addition to my professional journey, I recently made a big move and became a transplant from the beautiful state of Georgia. As a proud newcomer, I am embracing the change and have been enjoying every opportunity to explore my new surroundings as one of my greatest joys is sightseeing. The majestic mountains here have quickly become one of my favorite places to visit.

I am committed to working with a diverse range of individuals, honoring the rich variety of backgrounds, identities, and experiences you bring to therapy. Whether you are seeking support through life’s transitions, addressing personal challenges, or pursuing personal growth, I am here to guide and support you on your journey. I want to acknowledge and commend you for taking this important step toward therapy. Opening up about your experiences can be challenging, but by choosing to embark on this journey, you are demonstrating a profound commitment to your own growth and well-being. I am genuinely honored to walk this path with you and am here to support you every step of the way as you work towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.
