Hope I. Hills, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist in NC, Authorized PsyPact Practitioner in 40 states
For a number of years I have been doing Veteran's exams, having the honor of hearing, often for the first time in their lives, the traumas they have had that are continuing to live in their lives years later. Those experiences have made me much less afraid to help people to speak the unspeakable, knowing that is the first step to taking back their lives.
