Being present with people during their most trying times and witnessing their transformation is what Hayley is most passionate about. Her goal is to give people a chance to be seen, to be heard, to utilize their unique strengths and resources, and to ultimately thrive.

Have you or your child ever talked about feeling "different" or "out of place"? Maybe you struggle to identify with the people & world around you. Perhaps, as a young adult, you feel unprepared for "adulting", frustrated, and overwhelmed. These are common thoughts of my clients; pre-teens, teens & young(ish) adults who want support whether struggling with school, work stress, socializing, or mental health in general. I offer counseling, psychoeducational assessments, & parent consulting for IEP/504 plan. All of my services aim to help you learn more about who you truly are, and through that self-awareness, healing can begin.

Life is an amazing gift. It brings excitement and adventure but also can be quite frustrating and overwhelming. My approach to therapy is transparent, curious, and compassionate. I specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, relational issues, and pre/postnatal maternal mental health. I use a combination of different therapeutic approaches which depends on needs. If you are struggling with an eating disorder/or unhealthy relationship with food or exercise, anxiety, substance abuse, low self-esteem, restricting, binging, purging, and/or other destructive patterns, you have come to the right place.

If you or someone you know struggles with behavioral problems such as impulsivity, being defiant, hyperactivity, inattention, and criminal activity I am here to help. I work with teens and their families that are struggling to connect or understand one another. My clients needs range from those struggling to clearly communicate their intentions to others to finding coping skills that work for their depression, anxiety, anger, and other intense emotions.

I believe in a collaborative and non-pathologizing stance that centers people as agentive in their lives. My therapeutic approach is guided by Narrative Therapy, Feminist, and Poststructural Theory. I am a poly-friendly and LGBTQ+ affirming provider. I aim to cultivate a respectful and dignifying environment for one to feel witnessed and supported.

Welcome, I'm glad you made it here! I hope that I can help you feel comfortable and safe to dig deep.

In my practice, I foster safety, authenticity, and vulnerability. I can help my clients build insight, gain practical tools, and pay close attention to how they intersect with their world to feel grounded and compassionate toward themselves. I see you as a whole person and I hope to help you see that when you might feel broken down.

I am committed to helping individuals learn how to develop healthier relationships with others, increase self-esteem, and work through past traumas that continue to resurface in their current relationships. My approach to therapy is strength based, solution focused, and trauma informed.

Gabrielle Wanchek, MA, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist came to the field of therapy and psychology through her own journey with trauma and therapy more than twenty years ago. It became a passion of hers that she chose to pursue through Antioch University, Los Angeles. Gabrielle graduated in 2012, where she earned her degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Civilian Trauma. After graduating, Gabrielle worked with the homeless community, specifically with individuals connected to diversion and reentry, for eight years.

I work with a broad spectrum of individuals and couples. As a therapist, I create a nurturing and safe environment that is non-judgmental and caring. I often will use a solution-focused approach, providing options and tools necessary to make immediate changes in your life. My therapy gravitates toward being goal oriented. Every client is unique, and I tailor my therapy sessions accordingly.

With over 20 years of professional experience and after years of private practice, I left the therapy world when I discovered the opportunity to advocate for individual and families. As a Therapeutic Consultant, my primary goal was to help individuals find the best fit for interventions for mental and physical health care. I soon discovered that the best fit can't happen without good diagnostics first. A team approach is the heart of our program, uncovering what is truly wrong, or right, about your body, mind, spirit, and lifestyle. Our concierge evaluation program provides one-on-one diagnostics and world-class care and support.

There are times all of us need a bit of extra support to handle the problems and stressors life throws our way. Problems can sometimes be relentless and seep into every aspect of our life. Problems such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, worry and conflict can make it hard to live the life we desire. My aim is to help people take their lives back from problems. Through exploration of what values and preferences are most important to you, we can find ways to reclaim your life from the problems that are harassing you and your relationships in order to promote new possibilities and ways of being.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples find and maintain healthy and happy relationships. This includes: healing from sexual trauma, addiction/codependence recovery, sex/porn addiction, grief/repair from infidelity and/or betrayal, conflict resolution, communications skills, finding healthy partnerships, building healthy intimacy and sexuality in your relationship, and so on.

Yes, change is possible. In my practice, I work with issues ranging from problematic relationships with friends, families, or partners to anxiety and depression. I also help with difficulties on the job, basic meaning of life issues such as identity, personal growth, and coping with success and failure. My style is engaged and lively, with an overall intention of allowing you the freedom to explore all aspects of your life in a safe and confidential environment.

I help my clients walk onto paths and lives that align with their own values. As a therapist and healer, my job is not to fix you, but to walk alongside you. I work with my clients to define what an aligned life looks like for them, then equip them with the tools to achieve it. No two clients are the same, and I use an eclectic approach, incorporating client feedback, to find what works best for each person. With every client, my goal is to eventually build a foundation of self-trust and emotional resilience that allows you to graduate from therapy. After working with me, my clients report a greater feeling of daily wellbeing.
