Jillian Bissell

Jillian is a Marriage and Family Therapy Trainee at Hively, and is currently pursuing her master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy at Antioch University. Prior to making the shift to mental health, Jillian spent ten years in the education field, working closely with elementary school children and their families. It was her passion for social emotional well-being in schools and classrooms that inspired her to pursue further education in the mental health field. 

Jillian believes that everyone is the expert on their own life, and works collaboratively with her clients to identify goals and a therapeutic approach that is tailored to their specific needs. 

In her free time, Jillian enjoys reading mystery novels (as long as they aren’t too scary), being outside in nature, and spending time with her dog.
