Hayley Passanisi, MA (she/her) 

Welcome, I’m glad you're here!

You may be an adult struggling with anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions, or you may be a parent worried about your child's wellbeing, their ability to manage difficult feelings, or adjustment to school and life changes.

I work with people of all ages, children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, helping them navigate challenges and build resilience.

I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, guided strategies to reduce rumination, strengths-based work, and creative interventions including art and play therapies to help clients build insight, resilience and, most importantly, feel heard and supported. Whether you need space to vent, unload, cry, find guidance through difficult emotions, or explore ways to cope and heal, I’m here for you.

Clients often describe me as calm, grounded, and approachable. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood and supported as we explore what matters most to you. Together we can work toward the growth, healing and balance you’re hoping for. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out; it would be a privilege to support you on your journey.
