I specialize in individual/group/couples therapy for adolescents, and teens from ages 5 to 18 as well as adults with mental and behavioral health diagnoses with an emphasis on ADHD, DMDD, anxiety, and depression.
I am a Resident in Counseling and believe we should live a life of purpose ON purpose. Everything we do should be intentional so that we are intentionally attracting and manifesting our purpose. I see and "problems" as challenges and opportunities to intentionally challenge ourselves to be purposeful in our everyday lives; with our decisions and how we choose to interact with others. We are always challenged and when you take the step to seek help, you are intentionally seeking out your higher purpose.

I also work with many individuals with ADHD and am a ADHD Clinical Services Provider ( ADHD-CCSP).
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, life as we know it, has changed. For some, these changes have been much larger and much more traumatic than others. Depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, and suicide attempts are just a few of mental health concerns that are on the rise in our country. Feelings of isolation, loneliness, and fear in children and adults have become unfortunate byproducts of the pandemic. At times we may feel powerless or even hopeless. Engaging in therapy can give one the tools and skills needed to navigate this unprecedented time and help manage life’s stressors in a healthy, safe, and proactive manner.

Burnout: It has been said “it’s lonely at the top”. You have reached the top in your career, but your personal life is in shambles or you’re experiencing “burnout”. The Therapist problem solves and suggests interventions for their clients but, who can the Therapist talk to? You’re a Veteran struggling to come back to the “Real World”, and every day and night are a battle with PTSD symptoms. You may be a parent that is at the “end of your rope” with a child with Autism, ADHD, or significant depression and is exhibiting negative behaviors in the home and at school. You may need help in processing loss, divorce, and retirement.

Hi, I'm Haylee Hadaway, a pre-licensed social worker with Nova Telemental Health. As a Navy veteran and Navy spouse, I know mental health is important and necessary but seeking help is very stigmatized. Therefore, I believe that therapy should be a comfortable, non-judgemental asset to one's health. My goal would to be help you reach your goals and desires out of therapy. Whether that be navigating your way through a major life change or unpacking the past, my role is to help you find those answers.
