Welcome to Idaho Trauma Therapy. 

Have you been thinking about seeing a therapist to ease emotional distress? Are fear, anxiety, grief or traumatic experiences keeping you from achieving the happiness and success that you want? Do you suffer from excessive worry, fear, anxiety or traumatic stress? Or perhaps you are seeking a deeper level of fulfillment and are feeling stuck, or are looking to improve your quality of life. I have helped many people overcome these types of problems and welcome the opportunity to help you identify and overcome your obstacles so that you can live the quality of life that you deserve.

I am Hillary Cook, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor specializing in complex trauma and wellness counseling. I am EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Certified, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) through the International Association of Trauma Professionals, a Certified Psychedelic Assisted Therapist, and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I have additional training in treating first responders, grief, and chronic illness. I work from a holistic lens individualizing the counseling experience based on each client’s needs.

I enjoy working with adults through providing a safe and creative environment with mindful intentions in order to help foster healing and growth. I believe in helping individuals identify their personal strengths to help support their lives, increase their ability to cope with life stressors, and build skills for success. I want LGBTQ clients to know that I support them and their families. Being LGBTQIA+ affirmative means I treat all people with the dignity, respect, and affirmation they deserve.
