A highly motivated, result-oriented Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in nursing. Providing holistic, evidence-based, patient-centered care.
At MyTherapist DC you will receive a free consultation to provide increased knowledge of therapist, build therapeutic rapport, and enhance a joint understanding of the treatment goals. Together we will explore your strengths to overcome your challenges. Every session begins with a reminder of your treatment goals, weekly update, review of last week's homework, processing current symptoms and learning a new intervention, summary of the session, and new homework. I use current events, research based data, assessments, guided meditation, and etc. to track progress from one week to the next week. My clients have expressed that the most enjoyable aspect of therapy is the connecting of meaningful childhood experience to the current self.
I have extensive training in internal family systems (IFS), psychodynamic/relational models, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I am currently working toward specialization in reproductive mental health and love to work with individuals anywhere along the reproductive lifecycle.
Hi, my name is Haley, and I am a therapist who is passionate about creating a safer, affirming, supportive space for healing. I specialize in trauma-focused CBT, art therapy, and a human-centered, systems-based approach, always through an anti-racism and anti-oppression lens. I have experience working with kids, teens, and adults navigating complex trauma, abuse, LGBTQ+ identities, sexuality, sex work, and substance use recovery. Whether through talk therapy or creative approaches like art, I tailor sessions to what feels right for you. Healing is a journey, and I am here to walk alongside you.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified addictions professional & an advanced heart-centered hypnotherapist, ART / EMDR & Imago-Trained Couples Therapist in Florida with over 13 years of experience working as a therapist- counselor & hypnotherapist.
I work with many types of clients / concerns both individually and as couples, including depression, anxiety, codependency, addictions to people / behaviors and substances, LGBT-related issues, relationship issues, spirituality, career challenges, trauma.
It takes immense courage to enter therapy, and I am here to walk alongside you on that journey. My path to becoming a therapist was non-linear and deeply rewarding. Before transitioning into clinical social work, I worked as a IT professional, then lived overseas caring for family, and volunteering in community support roles. These diverse life experiences have given me a profound appreciation for cultural adaptability, systemic challenges, and the complex transitions we all face. I bring this perspective into the therapy room, offering you a compassionate, non-judgmental environment to explore, grow, and thrive.
Over 22 years of experience in healthcare with more than 8 years specializing in psychiatric and mental health disorders. Dual certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from Florida State University and Family Nurse Practitioner from Walden University, as well as a proud Veteran of the United States Navy.
My focus is to help individuals and families build resiliency to heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan to connect you with simple strategies that would assist you with achieving your full potential.
I believe there is no one "right" way for therapy and healing, so I offer multiple pathways—talking, movement, art-making, and body-based practices, like EMDR and somatic therapies. Working together we will find what works for you.
Hi there! I have been a therapist for about 25 years (MSW- Western Michigan University). I feel grateful to have such meaningful work and honored to walk alongside such a variety of people on their journeys. My clients have described me as irreverent, honest, and caring.
Many folks come to therapy in times of crisis and others come because they are looking for a neutral place to talk and process a wide range of life experiences including trauma, anxiety/depression, substance concerns, and relationship issues.
In my non-work hours you'd find me spending time with my elementary age kiddo and our dog, listening to live music, swimming in Lake Michigan, or finishing up a good jigsaw puzzle!
