Counseling for

Creatives & Helpers


Counseling for Creatives, Empaths, and People Pleasers

Your Story Matters. Gain clarity. Live purposefully
"Helping you break free from people-pleasing patterns, burnout, and the weight of being an empath."  I work with adults and adolescents; helping them pivot out of the muck in life, and intentionally reach for what makes them shine. Therapy can be a safe space tucked away from the chaos, a place to start sorting through the mess.  We work together to become familiar and validate your life story while helping you rewrite your chapters moving forward.

Hello there. I'm Haley.
Real and relatable. A creative and an encourager at heart. My ultimate goal is that you feel heard while helping you find better tools to navigate stress and well, life. I would be honored to hear your story and help you design an inspired future. A future where you feel accomplished, purposeful, thriving and basking in the blue skies of life.

Creatives and Helpers

You see the world differently. You may have struggled with big emotions and have a hard time not dismissing your own needs for others. Therapy can be a way to start self care that clarifies your needs and help you make yourself a priority.

Grief and Loss Counseling

It may be a death of a loved one, or a closed door to a dream. Something unexpected has happened in your life which can feel disorienting. Many of my clients feel like they are starting over again in life.

College Student and Young Professionals

Career. Purpose. Making Decisions. Counseling helps supports adults and college students who feel stuck at a crossroads-choosing a major, weighing career paths, navigating job transitions, or questioning what “success” really means. With a practical, counseling-informed approach aligned with the values of Haley Way MA, LPC, this work focuses on clarifying strengths, identifying core values, and reducing anxiety and overwhelm so clients can make confident, intentional decisions. Sessions blend reflection and actionable planning to help clients move forward with direction, motivation, and a clearer sense of purpose.

Family of Origin

Getting unstuck from old family patterns

Family of Origin is a specialty focus within Haley Way MA, LPC, supporting adults and college students who want to understand how early family dynamics shape current relationships, identity, and emotional well-being. Through a structured, compassionate approach, clients explore patterns such as people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, perfectionism, and difficulty with boundaries, then build practical skills for healthier connection and self-trust. Counseling is tailored to each client’s goals, helping them integrate insight with actionable change.

What does Private Pay and Out of Network mean?
Understanding Out-of-Network (OON) Benefits. If you have a PPO or out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement for our sessions. Here is how it works:
The Process: You pay the session fee at the time of service. I provide you with a **Superbill**—a specialized receipt containing the necessary diagnostic and service codes. You submit this to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.

The "Math": OON coverage usually requires meeting a separate annual deductible. Once met, your insurance provider typically covers a percentage of the "allowed amount" for each session.

Next Steps: I recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your out-of-network mental health benefits.
