Meet Haley Wiest, Licensed Professional Counselor

An Integrative and Compassionate Approach

In my work with clients, I use a blend of evidence-based approaches. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you create practical skills for managing here-and-now challenges, and also psychodynamic therapy to deepen self-awareness and uncover the roots of your relationship patterns.

I also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which helps you manage your emotions using mindfulness to create greater self-acceptance. I focus on a personalized approach that allows us to meet your needs around what’s happening now and also what’s been carried from the past.

Specializing in Women's Experiences

I’m especially passionate about working with women who are exploring the deeper layers of their relationships—with others and with themselves. This might look like wanting to feel more connected and secure in romantic relationships, working through the ups and downs of dating or untangling complex mother-daughter dynamics.

I also support women who are navigating issues of self-image, perfectionism and the pressure to perform—whether that’s in their careers, families or personal lives. As a former two-time U.S. Olympic Swim Team qualifier, I deeply understand what it means to live under high expectations, and how powerful it can be to move from self-criticism to self-acceptance.
