Rosa Hill, LMSW

Rosa Hill is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with nine years of experience in clinical practice, administration, and private practice ownership. She works with adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and issues of guilt and shame. Sessions are conversational and practical, focused on helping people manage day-to-day problems and painful feelings.

Rosa draws on experience from maternal-infant social work, hospice care, and counseling survivors of domestic violence. That background shaped her approach to grief, caregiving stress, and chronic illness. She has also worked in public schools and has provided support for people facing separation, divorce, and blended family challenges.

Her style starts from a strengths-based perspective. Rosa begins by listening to where someone is and what they already do well. From there she uses tools from several approaches to help people build new ways of coping and relating.

Therapeutic tools she commonly uses include acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, cognitive-behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and emotion-focused work to address relationship and intimacy concerns. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions.

People who come to Rosa often want straightforward, practical steps and space to talk through painful memories, guilt, or life transitions. Her background includes work with bereavement, domestic violence survivors, and caregiving roles, which informs how she supports those facing loss, chronic stress, or role changes.
