Sometimes, life gets in the way. But other times, we get in the way of it. I remember what it feels like to wonder if things would always be this way, or if things were like this for everyone else too. I still don't have that answer. But what I have now that I didn't have then is insight, motivation for change and accountability. Whether you are struggling with anxiety/depression, relationship issues, co-dependency, coping skills, personality or mood disorders, intrusive thoughts, or insert whatever feels right here, I want to help you encourage yourself to self-reflect with realistic and achievable expectations for your life today.

Waitlist for new clients
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.

You are here because you are feeling stuck, afraid, desperate, lost, or engaging in excessive overthinking and negative thoughts. Making the decision to start therapy is one of the toughest, scariest, and most intimidating choices to make in life, so I would like to be the first to congratulate you on taking this “leap of faith” and starting your healing journey. My treatment focuses primarily on treating children (10 years and older), adolescents, young adults, and adults with past trauma, depression, low self-esteem, college/student issues, grief, and women's issues.

Mental health is like physical health, sometimes things happen to us that are not our fault but they hurt just the same. Some things are our fault and we need help navigating a way out. Sometimes we just need a little checkup to make sure we're living the best life we can. If you need help with anxiety that seems to pester you, with a relationship that feels like you've run out of options, with a fog that's keeping you down, with something that happened to you long ago that you are ready to leave behind, I'd love to help walk you through to peace on the other side.

I specialize in working with folks navigating the complexities of anxiety, life stress, and trauma. Clients are drawn to me when they are seeking support to alleviate the weight of these challenges and regain a sense of inner peace and stability. Their primary need is to feel heard, understood, and validated in their experiences. They are not searching for quick fixes or superficial solutions but instead crave genuine connection and empathetic guidance.

Life is about growth. A significant component of growth is changes unique to our life events. For children and adolescents, growth and development present challenges and difficulties. However, for neurodiverse children and adolescents (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, slow processors), these challenges may be more significant. Military veterans are another unique culture I support. Our warriors work hard to protect us and accomplish their missions with honor. When they return from deployments, they often suffer from chronic pain and the after-effects of trauma, and they can have a difficult time transitioning to civilian life.

Feeling lost and overwhelmed by all the decisions and choices you are faced with daily can be stressful and exhausting, and stress can be magnified by the constant changes everyone experiences. These changes in relationships, your roles in school or workplace, family situations, and demands from others can all make you feel anxious, depressed...helpless. The isolation and loneliness we experienced during the pandemic did not evaporate when the crisis was contained, and now we are forced to cope new stressors. Depression, anxiety, increased substance use have been noted. But help & healing are available .
