Alex Brown-Haley
MS, LPC-A Psychotherapist-Associate Supervised by Alicia C. Prachar, LPC-S
My name is Alex Haley. I am working on my LPC-A and CCPT. I work with clients throughout the lifespan on a variety of issues including work/life balance, anxiety, depression, and identity concerns. I am also passionate and have training in play therapy and activity therapy. Prior to beginning my journey as a therapist, I worked for 7 years as a teacher and mental health intern.
In my personal time, I love to be outside exploring nature. I love the mountains, hiking, and spending time with my husband and 3 spoiled dogs. I believe animal integration into therapy is a boost!
