Hillary Schultz

Hillary Schultz believes that meaningful change comes from meeting people exactly where they are — with both warmth and directness. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and owner of Progression Counseling Group in Beachwood, Ohio, she brings a solution-focused approach grounded in genuine empathy and a firm commitment to ethical practice. Her style is frank without being harsh, supportive without being passive.

Hillary works with children as young as five, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating a wide range of challenges — from anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma to substance use, relationship difficulties, and the particular weight of marginalization and discrimination. She has a long background in community mental health, juvenile court work, and long-term residential care, and she is experienced supporting clients whose struggles now follow them through their phones: the 2 a.m. scrolling that sharpens dread, the notifications that make it hard to feel like the day ever ends.

Progression Counseling Group reflects her conviction that all people deserve affirming, non-judgmental care. The practice draws on multiple evidence-based modalities, individualized to each client, and serves anyone across Ohio through both in-person and teletherapy options. The goal, in Hillary’s words, is for clients to lead more meaningful and productive lives — with greater autonomy and a clearer sense of their own capacity.
