Hillary Murphy, LMHC | Owner & Therapist

Hillary Murphy is a dedicated mental health professional specializing in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Assumption University in 2013 and went on to obtain a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from American International College (AIC) in 2018. During her graduate studies, she completed a pre-master's internship at an elementary school, gaining valuable experience working with children.

Hillary’s career has spanned a wide range of settings, including an adolescent residential facility and various roles within the Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI). In May 2021, she took the leap into private practice, and by August 2024, she transitioned exclusively to treating OCD. She is ERP Certified through the Cognitive Behavior Institute (2023) and is passionate about using evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage and overcome OCD.

Hillary takes a compassionate yet structured approach, using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help clients build confidence in facing their fears. She believes in empowering individuals with practical tools to break free from OCD’s grip. In addition to ERP, she integrates elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to best support her clients' needs.

She is a member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and is constantly searching for new opportunities to expand her knowledge and refine her expertise.

Throughout her career, Hillary has worked with clients of all ages, from children to adults, tailoring her therapeutic approach to meet their unique needs. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys exercising, spending time with friends and family, and exploring the outdoors.
