About Carl Hippensteel

I am a compassionate counselor who believes in the power of warm, healthy relationships to heal the distress of painful life experiences. I take a creative and mindful approach to therapy with an emphasis on personal strengths and goal direction. With respect, humor, acceptance, and empowerment, I work to increase awareness and understanding. I will assist you in viewing yourself and your world in positive and exciting new ways. I enjoy collaborating to find a path of personal growth that feels right for you. 

In our therapeutic relationship, I will learn to understand you and discover your strengths and needs. We will work together in a creative and interactive way to achieve the change needed to enrich your personal interactions and daily life experiences.

I have over 15 years of diverse clinical experience. I earned my LCPC in Illinois, adding a clinical distinction to my licensure as a professional counselor. I specialize in affirmative counseling/LGBT counseling (as a self identified gay cis male), issues of creative individuals, and therapy for persons with sensory processing sensitivity (HSP). I also have an extensive background working with mood, thought, and anxiety disorders.
