Hi, I am Haley! Throughout my journey, I was trained in many therapy modalities such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, SBIRT, Suicide Assessment, and Problem-Solving Therapy.
My Ideal client is somebody who feels lonely, anxious, or depressed. He or she just wants to be heard by someone, when they feel like nobody else will listen. The goals of my ideal client include finding their own voice, being able to make their own decisions throughout life, and much more! My ideal client has these goals because they want to take charge of their own life.

The Best View Comes After the Hardest Climb. We don’t always have control of what occurs in life, what we do have is the power to choose how we will allow circumstances to impact our lives. Choosing to participate in therapy is a statement that exclaims, “I love and owe it to myself to overcome my fears, conquer my obstacles, learn to cope with life’s trials and tribulations, and finally set my mind free from worry, confusion, and uncertainty.” Allow Mindful Healing to guide you on your journey of uncovering your inner strength.

I specialize in helping women who prioritize everyone's needs over their own, women who are juggling multiple roles and give unto others until there's nothing left to give themselves. Women who are often called upon to problem-solve and find solutions for those around them. On the outside, it looks as if you can handle it all but silently, you’re struggling. The feelings of sadness and anxiety have left you doubting your self-worth and ability. You’ve lost yourself along the way and no longer recognize the person you’ve become.

I offer Online therapeutic services to reach all of Florida State. So I am lighting the candle while you sit back, take 3 slow breaths in and out, and say to yourself, “I am in control.” You are the only one in control of your thoughts, your behaviors, and your reactions. My goal is to work with you as you gain coping skills until you can maintain your control once again. But what if you never felt that control or felt that confidence. I focus on the ‘present’ & ‘here and now’ because this moment matters more than the past or future. This is where we can work on perspective, which changes behavior.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
