About Rosa
Rosa Hill is a licensed master social worker who focuses on helping people through painful changes and relationship strain.

Her background includes maternal-infant social work and hospice care, giving her a steady way of talking about grief and end-of-life questions. She also provided counseling to people affected by domestic violence and has worked in public schools.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her interest in trauma, loss, and caregiving stress. Rosa draws on Narrative approaches to help people reframe difficult stories. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to test unhelpful thoughts.
Her style is down-to-earth and strengths-based; she starts where a person is and builds on what already works. Sessions often focus on clear goals like improving communication, managing mood swings, or navigating a life transition. Rosa can coach clients through relationship friction, parenting strain, career stress, or compassion fatigue.
She encourages small, doable changes that add up over time. People who want practical tools and a collaborative, steady presence may find her approach helpful. Rosa practices in Michigan and offers support in English to clients who can work with a therapist by video, phone, chat, or text messaging.
