Haley Pettingell
I believe therapy provides an opportunity for you to feel safe and understood, free from judgment or pressure to conform. It's a place where you can truly express yourself and at the same time discover more about your own identity. In therapy, my goal is to partner with you, be a listening ear, and help guide you on your unique journey. I believe every client has the capacity to grow deeper in their God-given identity..
Supervision
Supervision is a learning environment geared to help supervisees build on their education and skills acquired up until this point. Together we will journey through unfamiliar experiences and find balance in addressing deficits, and engineering one's own clinical insights. This process will help supervisees to take the lead in learning new information, retention and application.
Our approach is to acknowledge and support Counselor Candidates strengths and areas of growth. We consider it an honor to partner with others through their career journey to seek skill, competency, knowledge and experience. As Licensed Professional Counselors and Supervisors, we will assist our supervisee(s) in setting realistic goals, recognizing strengths, and encouraging their pursuit towards wholeness. Theoretically, we work from Integrative models that include Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Client Centered Frameworks. We use theoretical approaches and compassion, along with a number of models and techniques, to comprehend patterns of thoughts and origins of behaviors. We use these tools to better understand the work we do and how to support those we work with.
