Jill Homlish(She/Her/Hers)

Jill Homlish is a mental health counselor in the West Village and online. Like many drawn to this work, Jill’s personal journey through healing is what led her here. Many of Jill’s clients are living with anxiety, processing trauma, or coping with relational/familial struggles. The foundation of Jill’s work is psychodynamic, and she often uses somatic and mindfulness interventions to connect clients more deeply to their bodies and emotions. Given her background, Jill has a special connection to artists, empaths, and individuals living with invisible disability and/or chronic pain. She believes that therapy can be a place to build a bridge between the internal and external, a place that gives the unspeakable a voice.

Jill earned a Master of Arts in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from NYU and a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts from Drew University. Before transitioning into psychotherapy, she worked in creative arts and human relations for six years. Jill then spent five years working with an occupational therapist providing sensory movement integration for individuals with disabilities. Jill also trained under the mentorship of a yoga therapist in New Mexico, which deepened her understanding of mind/body synergy. She has completed Reiki Level I and Level II certifications and is trained in Reiki and Psychotherapy integration.

Jill has a warm and collaborative style, which lends itself to narrative play and intuitive investigation of nonverbal realms. She views her relationship with clients as the vehicle for healing and therapy as a co-constructed process rooted in genuine connection. Jill believes the changes incited by therapy not only impact the individuals in the counseling room, but extend to a broader, collective healing shared with our loved ones, communities, and our world.
