Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


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.

Jay Varela

Jay Varela

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I work with high-functioning adults who look like they have it together and are quietly running on empty—people whose competence has become the thing they hide behind. My foundation is TEAM-CBT, an evidence-based approach I'm certified in at the highest level (Level 3 Advanced) through the Feeling Good Institute, and I train regularly with the Beck Institute. It gives our work real structure and proven tools. But symptoms usually rest on something older, and that's where the deeper work happens. I work most with anxiety, perfectionism, conditional self-worth, and the depletion that hides underneath a successful life.

Robert Bailey

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises.
