Hailey believes all behavior is purposeful, and that clients are the best experts of their lives.
Many people are practicing behaviors they have learned in order to adapt to their circumstances, which can be difficult to change when they have provided safety for years. She is passionate about helping clients identify their role in their mental health journey by teaching and developing coping skills to assist them in living a life more aligned with their goals and values.
Her approaches to therapy pull from several theories, she considers herself a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. She also utilizes concepts from Psychodynamic Therapy, Choice Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy.
Hailey’s approach to counseling is unique to each person, and is never a “one size fits all” approach. In addition, while she believes it is essential to use evidence-based practices, she also emphasizes the counseling relationship.
