Career

Hallie Gnatovich was interested in pursuing acting and theatre as a teenager and decided to enroll at Oberlin College for a bachelor’s degree in Art and Theatre. She graduated with her degree in 2004 but was yet to find full-time work as an actress. In the meanwhile, she started working with production crews and familiarized herself with the industry. She eventually landed a minor role in the Dina Gachman directed short film ‘Archer House’ in 2007. Though relatively short, the film was popular. However, her big break came in 2008 when she was roped in to play a recurring character in the popular paranormal TV series ‘Destination Truth’. Hallie played the role of a researcher and appeared in eight episodes. She was first seen in the second season, and she marked her final appearance in the series in its final and fifth season with the episode titled ‘Ghosts of Cannibal Village/Kapre’, in 2012.

Despite establishing herself as an actress, Hallie Gnatovich didn’t want to pursue acting and had developed an interest towards studying psychology and therapy. Even while filming for ‘Destination Truth’, she had begun studying counselling and therapy. She worked with Jenesse Center from 2009 to 2012 and subsequently obtained a certification in Mindfulness. Armed with prior experience, she easily graduated with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University in 2010 and has been practicing as a therapist since. She earned her license as a therapist while working for the Jewish Family Center in 2012.

After finding her calling, Hallie’s career flourished as a therapist. She currently runs her own clinic ‘Hallie G Therapy’ along with a cohort of other associate therapists. Hallie also specializes in talking to young actors, writers, and LGBTQ couples. In addition to general therapy sessions, Hallie also runs the ‘Feeling Whole in Hollywood’ program. This special session is aimed at entertainment industry professionals and new actors who need to gather up their courage to survive in Hollywood. Hallie’s prior experience in acting helps her run the program. She is currently based out of California and has no intentions to return to the big stage.
