Hailey graduated with her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and has been seeing clients at CCST since 2022. Hailey is trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to treat OCD and anxiety related symptoms, and in addition to private practice, Hailey works as a PRN therapist at Roger’s Behavioral Health in Tampa, where she sees clients in a PHP and intensive outpatient setting. At Roger’s, Hailey has gotten experience in adolescent and adult OCD, anxiety, depression, anger and stress management, and has gotten experience in CBT, ERP, and DBT skills. Hailey’s specialties include working individually with teen and young adult women, ages 12 and up. She also works with couples for premarital counseling, as she is certified in SYMBIS and has completed Gottman level-1 training. Hailey’s primary counseling approach is evidenced-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying the negative beliefs that inform one’s thoughts and behaviors. She uses Exposure and Response Prevention to treat OCD and anxiety symptoms and diagnoses. She also integrates other techniques and theories such as a strengths-based approach. She is focusing on counseling from a Christian worldview, if requested by the client. Hailey believes in building trust and connection with her clients, and understands that the counselor-client relationship is foundational to the counseling process, which means that games, coloring, and fun rapport-building exercises can all be found in Hailey’s office. Hailey can counsel clients with a variety of needs, including but not limited to:

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (including scrupulosity)

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Relationship related issues

• Bullying

• Perfectionism/control related symptoms

• Sports/performance therapy

• Body image and confidence

• Identity and self-esteem

• Stress and anger management

• Spiritual matters

Hailey is a New York native and an alumna of Florida State University (go Noles!). In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and friends, coaching CrossFit, and serving at her local church by leading Bible studies! A fun fact is that she grew up competing in gymnastics and when she went to college she joined FSU’s acrobatic circus! 

Hailey is here to answer any questions or ease any concerns you may have regarding counseling :) She is happy to do a 15 minute free consultation prior to booking your first appointment.
