Meet Lizanne Hills

Lizanne Hills brings a wealth of empathy, expertise, and lived experience to her role as a psychotherapist with Authentic Living London. Lizanne’s journey into mental health care is deeply personal, shaped by her resilience through adversities such as grief, childhood trauma, and family addiction. These experiences enrich her capacity to understand and connect with clients, making her uniquely equipped to guide them through their own healing journeys.

Lizanne has extensive experience in individual counseling, couples counseling, and support group facilitation. Her approach is trauma-informed, non-judgmental, and rooted in anti-oppressive, anti-racist principles. She draws from the bio-psycho-social model of care to provide holistic support that respects each client’s unique background and needs.

A dedicated lifelong learner, Lizanne holds an Honours BA with a focus on thanatology and psychology, is certified in Addiction Counseling, and is currently completing her MA in Counselling Psychology. Her education provides a solid foundation in psychology, counseling theories, and mental health practices, enabling her to conduct effective assessments and build strong therapeutic alliances with both adults and children.

Lizanne is registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).

Lizanne is skilled in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including grief and bereavement, addiction counseling, crisis intervention, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based therapy. Her “tool belt” is stocked with positive coping resources and calming techniques to support clients in regulating their nervous systems, helping them to find peace and resilience amidst life’s challenges.

We are so thrilled to have Lizanne as part of the Authentic Living London team.
