In my position as a Core Faculty Professor in the Department of Applied Clinical Psychology at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, I have had the opportunity to observe and interact with Dr. Loren Hill in a variety of contexts, including mentor and colleague, and have consistently been impressed by her tremendous interest, enthusiasm and academic excellence in psychology and psychotherapy. Dr. Hill has always displayed an exceptional ability to interact empathically with those around her. Further, I have observed that she possesses the necessary qualities required for anyone working in the healing professions, including high personal integrity, excellent conscientious work habits and clinical ethics. All of these characteristics were strongly displayed during the years that I worked with her at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and continue to be so within our current professional relationship. In 2018, I was promoted to the position of Full Professor at The Chicago School. It is no exaggeration to state that the reason for this promotion stemmed from Dr. Hill! She strongly encouraged me to seek this promotion – she wouldn’t take “no” for an answer! — and even guided me along the several intricate steps needed in order to achieve this goal. I will forever be grateful to Loren for giving me the necessary “kick” that launched my direction toward full professor. It remains my privilege to be in regular ongoing contact with Dr. Hill, during which we discuss such topics as academia and psychotherapy practice, and assist one another in further developing within the psychology field. I consider her to be a trusted professional within the psychological field, and am honored to be her friend and colleague.
