New to Grow
Hey, I'm Hailey. My approach to therapy is personable and down-to-earth. We can cuss, laugh, yell, or cry in session. Through my experience in inpatient, private practice, and shelters, I have learned that the most significant change occurs with learning concepts alongside practical application. Talking and processing are important, because it helps to identify patterns and recurring themes that are causing ongoing suffering; however, we need to also be able to sustain change by applying new ways of thinking and new skills.
A first session is for me to get to know you and your story. I will ask you questions about your intake that you complete and answer any questions you may have about me or my approach. The second session is for setting goals and intention with therapy; I want us to be able to have goals we are working toward and ways to measure change over time. By the third session, we will put those goals into action.
My greatest strengths lie with my ability to connect with others. My style in therapy is personable and authentic. The therapeutic relationship has a significant impact on results in therapy; therefore, I believe being genuine strengthens the relationship thus increasing succcess.
I work with clients who have noticed patterns of conflict in relationships, experience low confidence, and have ongoing challenges in social settings. The goal through therapy is to strengthen interpersonal skills while staying true to their identity. Sessions will include psychoeducation on concepts, processing, and practical skills that can be applied outside of therapy. This approach works best with clients seeking to be challenged and are ready to make change in their lives.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Trained in DBT through grad school and during my work experience. I incorporate the four pillars of distress tolerance, crisis management, interpersonal skills, and mindfulness into therapy through psychoeducation, practicing skills in therapy, and providing practical examples on how to apply the skills and concepts learned.
Gottman method
Trained in Gottman Method in school and during my work experience. I stay up to date on their literature and research. I utilize Gottman Method in couples and individual therapy by psychoeducation on research results and by practicing skills in session. For example, learning about being curious about your significant other and how to apply that concept through asking hypotheticals daily.
