Leah L.H. Hill

Leah L.H. Hill, Ed.D. spent her childhood in a household of avid readers. Her parents, Louis and June were educators so of course she and her sister Holly played school, and were reading and writing long before they were formally educated. As a child Leah spent time jumping double dutch rope, playing with dolls, and playing board games, normal kid’s stuff. She loved writing little books, poems, and creating stories and plays about solving mysteries, technologically advanced societies, traveling abroad, and tenacious and adventurous kids. At a young age she found she was a good listener, and seemed skilled at helping others solve problems and resolve concerns. So naturally she became a licensed school psychologist and a licensed clinical professional counselor and holds a doctorate in school psychology combining her love for school, children, and problem solving. She has written a children’s book series called Psyche and Logy, with the first book titled Psyche and Logy’s Angry Sleepover. The series focuses on the lives of two cuddly cousins, who happen to be dogs and their experiences living their best life, going to school, playing sports, understanding diversity, dealing with fear, family, jealousy, and having friends as young “boys”.

Leah is an editor and publisher of self-help books such as Peace and Tranquility Found: Guided Meditation and Mindfulness to Relax your Mind, Body, and Live your Best Life. Her professional distinctions include specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Mindfulness, anger coping, and hypnotherapy. For over thirty years, Leah has worked in the field of psychology as a school psychologist and in a private practice setting mentoring new psychologists, social workers and interns.

She is passionate about coaching, consulting and teaching relaxation techniques to promote a healthy mind, and assisting others to live their best life. Her desire to help a larger population led her to write, edit and publish books that address and promote mental health.

Leah has a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, a master’s degree in school psychology from Governor’s State University and a Doctorate of Education in School Psychology from National-Louis University.

Her joy for helping others includes her extensive involvement in community service. She has served as the President and held other offices for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated ®, Lambda Tau Omega Chapter and the Twenty Pearls Foundation, Inc., a 501 © (3) organization, and served chairing programmatic committees for Jack & Jill of America, Inc. Leah has received several awards for her commitment to her sorority and the community.

Leah is married to her college sweetheart, Arthur. They have two children Jasmine & Art, a son-in-love, Derrius, and two granddogs whose antics inspired the Psyche and Logy series.
