Haley helped me fight through my struggles and learn to manage my symptoms so I could live my life
By teaching me mindfulness activities, helping me accept that I needed medicine, and always being there, Haley guided me through a tough time and to the other side. I am where I am today because of Haley and our time together. My anxiety is so much more manageable in my day-to-day life and I have a positive outlook on my future. And even when I hit bumps in the road, Haley has always been there to help me through it.
I have really struggled with my self-confidence and body image and Haley has been critical to the progress I've made.
She taught me how to recognize my negative self-talk and how to redirect my thoughts in a more positive direction. This exercise has helped me limit my negative thoughts and treat myself kinder. Haley has also taught me how to adjust my all or nothing attitude. She challenges me on my negative thoughts and has me look at all scenarios: worst, best, and what most likely will happen. This process helps to ground me and avoid an endless anxiety spiral.
Working and talking with Haley feels like relief every session.
She consistently reminds me that I'm not alone and that any struggles I'm facing are temporary. I know that I can always be honest with her because she never judges, offers reassurance, and guides me like an older, wiser sister. Whether through journal prompts, thoughtful questions, or mindfulness exercises, Haley always finds a way to help me better understand who I am and who I want to be. Truly grateful I have her as part of my support system.
Haley always shows up with a soothing yet friendly personality.
She instantly made me feel comfortable and excited for our sessions. I love how she approaches our sessions like a friend.The most impactful action steps Haley has taught me is challenging my negative thoughts. She constantly reminds me to look at the facts in front of me as reassurance when my mind wanders to anxious or negative thoughts. I can hear her in my head challenging me on my thoughts between sessions.
In my past 2 years with Haley I can say that I understand myself so much more now.
Before working with Haley I was constantly anxious about pleasing everyone around me, so much so that I was unsure of who I was and what I wanted in my life. Through working with Haley, I have been able to acknowledge what I want to do rather than what the people around me want me to do.
