Drawing from her experiences competing at the collegiate, professional, and international levels, Sarah understands firsthand the pressures athletes face and works to help them develop the mental tools needed to thrive both in sport and in life. Sarah’s work is deeply informed by her lifelong involvement in athletics and high-performance environments. She was a standout collegiate athlete at Elmira College, where she earned CCM/AHCA First Team All-American honors and was named UCHC Player of the Year during her senior season. She was also recognized as Elmira’s Female Athlete of the Year and nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. While at Elmira, Sarah was also a dual-sport athlete, competing in both women’s ice hockey and women’s lacrosse, an experience that helped shape her understanding of the unique demands placed on student-athletes balancing multiple sports, academics, and personal development. Following her collegiate career, Sarah played five seasons of professional ice hockey in the National Women's Hockey League, later known as the Premier Hockey Federation, competing alongside some of the best players in the world. Her professional career deepened her appreciation for the psychological demands of elite sport and the importance of confidence, resilience, and mental preparation in high-pressure environments. Beyond ice hockey, Sarah has also represented the United States internationally through ball hockey, competing in three World Championships with the United States Women's National Ball Hockey Team, including winning a Gold Medal in 2024.

Sarah now channels these experiences into her work with athletes. She holds a Master’s degree in Sport Psychology and recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sacred Heart University. Most recently, she worked as a counselor at University of Bridgeport, where she supported college students and athletes navigating the pressures of academics, sport, and personal development. Sarah works with athletes of all ages and across multiple sports, helping them develop mental skills that support both performance and well-being. Her clients range from youth athletes (ages 10–19) navigating early development and competitive pressures, to college athletes, elite performers, and Olympic-level competitors. She also works extensively with youth hockey players through her leadership as a director and coach within a competitive girls’ hockey program, where she supports athletes both on and off the ice. Through her work, Sarah strives to create a supportive and empowering environment where individuals can explore challenges, strengthen confidence, and develop the mental tools needed to thrive both in competition and in life. When she’s not working with athletes, Sarah remains deeply connected to the sports community through coaching, mentoring young athletes, and supporting the continued growth of women’s sports.

And while there is value in these approaches, they are at root secular, which means they are not founded upon a religious or spiritual understanding of reality. For some people, the spiritual or religious is central to who they are and how they live. These people are not comfortable with the secular notion that one can be fully healthy while ignoring God. As a Christian, who is trained in secular psychology and Christian theology, I offer as an option, a Christian counseling approach that attempts to incorporate the best of both worlds. Modern science and the Christian faith are not mutually exclusive in my view. If you are interested in a therapist who is knowledgeable of and comfortable with both modern science and the Christian faith, I may be a good fit for you. Of course, I can and do help people who do not want Christian counseling.

However, you have taken an important step already. This important step is thinking about making yourself a priority! There are many people dealing with depression, grief, stress, loneliness, feelings of isolation, anger, and trauma. However, they decide to carry the weight of those concerns and remain in silence. You are deciding to do the opposite and heal openly with someone walking beside you on your journey. My name is Laron Hill and I am a Licensed therapist in the State of Michigan. I graduated from Central Michigan with a Bachelor’s in Community development,and a Masters in Counseling from Central Michigan as well.

I would love to assist you on your journey to peace and healing where you need it the most.

Drawing from her experiences competing at the collegiate, professional, and international levels, Sarah understands firsthand the pressures athletes face and works to help them develop the mental tools needed to thrive both in sport and in life. Sarah’s work is deeply informed by her lifelong involvement in athletics and high-performance environments. She was a standout collegiate athlete at Elmira College, where she earned CCM/AHCA First Team All-American honors and was named UCHC Player of the Year during her senior season. She was also recognized as Elmira’s Female Athlete of the Year and nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. While at Elmira, Sarah was also a dual-sport athlete, competing in both women’s ice hockey and women’s lacrosse, an experience that helped shape her understanding of the unique demands placed on student-athletes balancing multiple sports, academics, and personal development. Following her collegiate career, Sarah played five seasons of professional ice hockey in the National Women's Hockey League, later known as the Premier Hockey Federation, competing alongside some of the best players in the world. Her professional career deepened her appreciation for the psychological demands of elite sport and the importance of confidence, resilience, and mental preparation in high-pressure environments. Beyond ice hockey, Sarah has also represented the United States internationally through ball hockey, competing in three World Championships with the United States Women's National Ball Hockey Team, including winning a Gold Medal in 2024. She has also contributed to the sport from the coaching side, leading the USA Women’s Masters (35+) Ball Hockey Team to a Gold Medal at the 2025 World Championships. Sarah now channels these experiences into her work with athletes. She holds a Master’s degree in Sport Psychology and recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sacred Heart University. Most recently, she worked as a counselor at University of Bridgeport, where she supported college students and athletes navigating the pressures of academics, sport, and personal development. Sarah works with athletes of all ages and across multiple sports, helping them develop mental skills that support both performance and well-being. Her clients range from youth athletes (ages 10–19) navigating early development and competitive pressures, to college athletes, elite performers, and Olympic-level competitors. She also works extensively with youth hockey players through her leadership as a director and coach within a competitive girls’ hockey program, where she supports athletes both on and off the ice. Through her work, Sarah strives to create a supportive and empowering environment where individuals can explore challenges, strengthen confidence, and develop the mental tools needed to thrive both in competition and in life. When she’s not working with athletes, Sarah remains deeply connected to the sports community through coaching, mentoring young athletes, and supporting the continued growth of women’s sports.

And while there is value in these approaches, they are at root secular, which means they are not founded upon a religious or spiritual understanding of reality. For some people, the spiritual or religious is central to who they are and how they live. These people are not comfortable with the secular notion that one can be fully healthy while ignoring God. As a Christian, who is trained in secular psychology and Christian theology, I offer as an option, a Christian counseling approach that attempts to incorporate the best of both worlds. Modern science and the Christian faith are not mutually exclusive in my view. If you are interested in a therapist who is knowledgeable of and comfortable with both modern science and the Christian faith, I may be a good fit for you. Of course, I can and do help people who do not want Christian counseling.

With two in-person locations and telehealth options, we serve individuals and families in the Greater Grand Rapids area and surrounding communities. We continually work to better serve those who feel disempowered, marginalized, and alienated as we understand these individuals experience increased barriers in accessing quality treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fab5f2790caf33da671d78a/1605066539082-XP72082IXZEZZC3H85M9/scott-webb-WwWkgOMU8H8-unsplash.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fab5f2790caf33da671d78a/1605066539085-T0CCAECVQRQQBQ7106XM/freddie-marriage-UcfKYTan-LU-unsplash.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fab5f2790caf33da671d78a/1605066539089-UKN8ID88XRZNQI3I1C5H/pexels-ylanite-koppens-776656.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fab5f2790caf33da671d78a/1607356571611-X06938B5JKFIP7HOVZOY/lauren-mancke-DpphPG9ENsI-unsplash.jpg Home https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/couples-therapists daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/individuals daily 0.75 2025-08-27 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/about daily 0.75 2026-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fab5f2790caf33da671d78a/1605721901501-7V0XLSOH0SOK7P7JUVL1/alis-po-IdVNRv-5wJo-unsplash.jpg Who We Are https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fab5f2790caf33da671d78a/1607357048712-SFZE0EWLA57W4G78MV4M/tomi-vadasz-TVdumRELP0o-unsplash.jpg Who We Are https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/spanish-speaking-therapists daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/christiancounseling daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/ocd-therapists daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/teen-therapists daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/lgbtq-therapists daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/ptsd-therapists daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/trauma-therapists daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/individual-therapists-1 daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/child-therapists daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.ihcwestmichigan.com/antiracism-commitment daily 0.75 2025-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fab5f2790caf33da671d78a/1609291191537-NAK3164JUDU5TEC7ZM1K/will-swann-HzJxjLDW0eE-unsplash.jpg Anti-Racism Commitment - Anti-Racism Commitment We believe that all people deserve access to high-quality, evidence-based treatment for their mental health and wellbeing.
