Hayley Willis PsyD, LPC-S

Utilizing evidence-based approaches like CBT, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR, I provide tailored interventions to address anxiety related to trauma. Through targeted assessment and therapeutic techniques, I help clients identify triggers, reframe maladaptive beliefs, and develop adaptive coping skills, fostering resilience and empowering clients in their journey toward healing.

My EMDR work is grounded in careful preparation, clear treatment planning, and readiness rather than rushing into trauma processing. I use EMDR to help clients address experiences that still feel emotionally or physically unresolved. I pay close attention to stability, present-day functioning, and whether EMDR is actually the right fit. The goal is effective processing, not simply moving through a protocol because trauma is present.

CBT is one of the primary ways I help clients connect what they think, feel, and do with the patterns they keep repeating. I use it in a practical way, not as a worksheet-driven exercise. We identify distorted or unhelpful thinking, test assumptions, change avoidance and behavior patterns, and build more effective responses. I use CBT to help clients make changes they can recognize in their decisions, relationships, and daily functioning.

Incorporating evidence-based approaches, I provide tailored interventions for PTSD. I conduct comprehensive assessments, establish a therapeutic alliance, and implement targeted strategies to address trauma symptoms. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, I facilitate healing, empowerment, and improved quality of life for clients navigating the complexities of PTSD.

Depression can narrow your world until everything feels harder, less meaningful, and easier to put off. I focus on helping clients create movement instead of waiting to feel motivated first. We look at the habits, beliefs, circumstances, and unresolved experiences contributing to the shutdown, then work on changes that are realistic and measurable. My approach is structured, practical, and focused on helping you reconnect with purpose, energy, and daily life.

Anxiety often gets stronger when your life starts revolving around avoiding discomfort, overthinking decisions, or trying to stay one step ahead of everything that could go wrong. I help clients identify those patterns and practice responding differently. Treatment is practical and active, using CBT, exposure-based strategies, and real-world behavior changes. The focus is building confidence in your ability to handle discomfort without letting fear make the decisions.

PTSD can make the past feel like it is still happening in the present. My work focuses on helping you understand those reactions, build enough stability to feel grounded, and process what has not been fully resolved. I use approaches such as EMDR, cognitive strategies, and trauma-focused work when appropriate. The goal is not to forget what happened. It is to stop letting it dictate how you think, react, and live now.

I am formally trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy and use it to help clients identify the beliefs that trauma changed or reinforced. I focus on the stuck points that continue to shape guilt, blame, trust, safety, control, and self-worth. My approach is structured and direct, helping clients challenge what no longer fits so they can respond to the present instead of continuing to live from conclusions formed during trauma.
