About Me

Hi, I’m Haley, the founder of Rooted Mind Therapy, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen and understood. That’s why I prioritize the relationship between client and therapist above all else. I describe my approach was flexible, direct, and unafraid to bring humor into the therapy room.

As someone who identifies as lesbian, I understand how complex and deeply personal the journey of self-discovery can be. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals as they explore identity, build self-esteem, and navigate the challenges of living authentically in a world that can feel unwelcoming. Whether you’re questioning, coming out, or working through the layers of internalized messages, I provide a space where your truth is honored and affirmed.

I help clients find relief and build meaningful lives using evidence-based approaches, primarily Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ACT teaches you how to step back from unhelpful thoughts, make space for difficult emotions, and reconnect with the values that matter most to you so you can move forward with purpose. ERP is a highly effective form of exposure therapy for OCD, panic, and anxiety disorders that helps you face fears, intrusive thoughts, or triggers while learning not to engage in the behaviors or mental rituals that keep you stuck.

In addition, I have extensive experience in vocational and career counseling. My background includes years of supporting individuals with disabilities and chronic health conditions as they navigate both personal and professional transitions.

As for my life outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends, playing video games, reading, trying out local coffee shops and restaurants, and traveling when possible. I look forward to connecting soon!
