Founder of Hearts of The Canyon Therapy
I'm Vickie Larson-Hills, MSW LCSW LLC
I’m Vickie Larson-Hills, and I get it. Life hasn’t always been easy for me either. I know what it’s like to face challenges, overcome hurdles, and feel disconnected from the world around you. That’s why I became a therapist... because I believe in the power of authentic connection, and I’ve seen firsthand how it can heal.
I don’t offer cookie-cutter therapy. I create a space where we have real, honest conversations, and I guide you toward finding peace, clarity, and strength within yourself. My practice, Hearts of the Canyon Therapy, is a place where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. I’m not just here to listen... I’m here to help you move forward.
What Sets My Practice Apart
I believe that therapy should be as unique as the person seeking it. Traditional methods don’t work for everyone, and I’ve seen too many people feel frustrated and overlooked in therapy that didn’t fit their needs. That’s why I use a creative, individualized approach in every session. Together, we’ll explore different modalities to see what resonates with you and helps you heal. Some of the core areas I focus on include:
- Trauma Recovery: Helping you process past experiences without reliving them, quieting intrusive thoughts, and reducing hyper-awareness of your environment.
- Anxiety Management:
Giving you the tools to manage constant worry, reduce anxiety, and find a sense of calm in your daily life.
- Emotional Regulation: Teaching you ways to control emotional roller coasters and build peaceful, meaningful relationships.
- Self-Love and Growth: Guiding you in learning to value yourself, let go of limiting beliefs, and develop a strong, positive sense of self.

My Qualifications
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 14 years of experience helping people through tough times. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Eastern Washington University, and since then, I’ve been working with individuals, families, and teens on a wide range of issues like trauma, anxiety, and depression.
I’ve had advanced training in EMDR therapy, which is a proven method for working through trauma. I also use Animal-Assisted Therapy and Equine Therapy in my practice because I believe that animals can help us heal in ways words sometimes can’t.
Over the years, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life who are dealing with deep emotional pain, trauma, and anxiety. I specialize in helping trauma survivors, whether it’s from a lifetime of difficult experiences or a single life-changing event. My clients have been veterans, survivors of domestic violence, people dealing with life-altering diagnoses, and many others who feel stuck in a cycle of fear and emotional chaos.

Why My Clients Find Success
My clients often tell me they’ve tried therapy before but didn’t feel like they were getting the help they needed. Many traditional approaches felt too rigid or clinical. What I offer is different. I’m here to give real feedback, to be an active partner in your healing. My sessions are conversational, insightful, and designed to help you feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
By combining authentic connection, personalized therapy, and a strong foundation in trauma recovery, I guide my clients toward real change.
