About Dr. Hill

I was born and raised in a small town outside of San Antonio, Texas. In 2013, I moved to Nebraska for what was supposed to be “only one year”—but then I met my now husband, and the rest, as they say, is history! We settled on an acreage south of Lincoln, where we’re raising our energetic son, who was born in 2021 with a complex congenital heart defect. He keeps me on my toes, and when I’m not working, I’m usually trying to keep up with him!

Whenever I have free time, I love being outdoors—unless it’s really cold or really windy (Nebraska, I’m looking at you). I enjoy hiking, rock collecting, bird-watching and photography, and appreciating all the wildlife around our home. I also have a soft spot for true crime, documentaries, and what I guess are now considered "old" rom-coms.

Those closest to me describe me as compassionate and dedicated, with a mix of empathy, integrity, and a whole lot of initiative. I’m a self-described nerd who loves the social sciences, and I’m known for making cheesy jokes and throwing in plenty of Texas-isms along the way.

Education & Advanced Training
I completed my graduate training in Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, one of the few combined School Psychology/Clinical Child Psychology programs in the country. My training provided a strong foundation in providing integrated psychological services to youth across multiple systems, including schools and juvenile justice settings. I developed advanced skills in comprehensive psychological assessment, multiple therapeutic modalities, behavioral consultation, supervision, and systems consultation. As a practitioner-scholar, I remain focused on providing the best clinical care in accordance with the best available science.

After graduate school, I moved to Nebraska for my doctoral internship/residency at Boys Town in Grand Island, where I enjoyed reconnecting with my own rural roots. During this time, I became a Registered Service Provider with juvenile probation services and gained additional expertise in the identification and treatment of childhood trauma. With a strong desire to collaborate more closely with primary care providers, I pursued a postdoctoral fellowship with the Munroe-Meyer Institute at UNMC, working in rural integrated care clinics in southeast Nebraska. There, I received specialized training in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders and parent training for behavior disorders.

Rural Integrated Care
I was honored to serve as the first full-time mental health provider at Beatrice Community Hospital & Health System. Over six years, I worked alongside an incredible team to expand behavioral health services from a single provider in one clinic to a full team serving five locations. This expansion meant more than 600 additional behavioral health appointments per month for rural communities. During my time at Beatrice, I was recognized for mentorship, program development, and expanding access to care. I also deepened my expertise in differential diagnosis of complex childhood conditions, clinical supervision for mental health practitioners, collaborative care, and systems consultation. 

[A] New View
Change is a necessary and healthy part of growth. My life changed when my son was born with a complex congenital heart defect, requiring open-heart surgery at just one day old and another emergency surgery at five months. At the same time, several other family members faced life-threatening medical conditions. Knowing I needed to balance caring for my family and my patients, I made the decision to establish New View Health Solutions, LLC in 2022—the first local behavioral health service provider in the Roca/Hickman/Firth/Adams area. I live in this community (less than five minutes away!) and am excited to provide accessible, high-quality mental health care close to home. This shift has allowed me to prioritize my family while continuing to support families in my practice, and I couldn’t imagine a better balance.

Telehealth & Teaching
In addition to my in-person practice, I am a strong proponent of using technology to improve access to behavioral health care. I have been an Assistant Professor of Practice at the University of Texas at Austin, where I teach courses in child psychopathology and educational psychology. My teaching philosophy prioritizes critical thinking, student engagement, and real-world application, ensuring future professionals are well-prepared for the complexities of clinical work. I actively integrate research, case studies, and interactive discussions to bridge the gap between theory and practice. I was also an early adopter of telehealth, providing virtual therapy even before the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2020, I have offered weekly telehealth services in Nebraska and in 2024, I obtained PSYPACT authorization to provide telehealth in 42 states/territories under PSYPACT (APIT Mobility #20388).
