I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on treating acute and relational trauma with teens, individuals, and couples. I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 15 years. I believe that we heal in relationship to another, rather than trying to do it all alone. My style is warm, attentive and an active participant in your healing journey.
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.

Hello! I am a Psychiatric NP and provide medication management services for those seeking treatment for their mental health issues. All appointments are done via telehealth. I offer flexible scheduling and accept insurance.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia, I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years. Currently, I provide individual and family therapy services to teenagers and adults experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma, as well as with LBGTQ+ and trans/gender non-conforming (TGNC) folks seeking supportive and affirming care.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe mental health care should be collaborative and centered on who you are as an individual. I support adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, mood disorders, and more. Through trauma-informed care, evidence-based practices, individualized treatment plans, comprehensive medication management, and therapeutic support, I create a judgment-free space where we can show up authentically and work together toward meaningful progress. My background includes experience as an outpatient psychiatric provider, inpatient psychiatric registered nurse, and in community reproductive health, allowing me to bring a broad and well-rounded perspective to the care I provide. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Sociology, which have shaped my understanding of the many varying factors that impact mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Virginia Beach
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Virginia Beach starts with choosing care that is identity-affirming and relevant to your needs. You may be looking for support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people. These details can help you find a therapist whose background matches what you want to address in care.
Virginia Beach has a mix of local practices and virtual therapy options, which can help broaden your search for affirming care. If nearby appointment times are limited or you prefer a wider range of choices, virtual sessions can make it easier to find therapists in Virginia who focus on LGBTQIA+ support. Beyond specialty, consider availability, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, communication, and experience with LGBTQIA+ communities.
Therapy in Virginia Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to confirm coverage for your specific location and plan. You can browse bios, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
