Haley Christensen, LMFTA

Hi, I am Haley. I believe that therapy is a way for individuals, couples, and families to express deep feelings without judgment or bias. I specialize in working with Children, Adults, and Couples, focusing on anxiety, depression, relational issues, conflict, and adolescent issues. I believe that the therapy room is a safe place to grow and learn about oneself. I believe that my role is not to “fix or change” who you are but to help empower you to grow and learn more about yourself. My goal as a therapist is to be able to meet my clients where they are on their journey and be able to walk through the hardest times together. I enjoy growing and learning alongside my clients by learning new modalities to best meet them where they are. My goal is to support you in achieving change and enhancing behavior and relationships. My therapeutic style is relaxed and gently direct, to best create a space that feels safe and non judgmental.

My approach to therapy is client centered systemic, and Solution Focused Therapy as a main foundation. I also incorporate other modalities depending on the clients needs/ desires for therapy. I have a Masters of Arts degree in Marriage and Family therapy from Whitworth University and am Licensed as a LMFTA in Washington. I work hard to continue to expand my knowledge through education and training each year to help me best uphold professional standards. I am currently trained in Gottman Method (Level 1 and Level 2), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Lifespan Integration (Level 1).

I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds. I grew up in the Christian faith and enjoy working with others that are on their own spiritual walk with God. I strive to understand my clients goals, expectations, and strengths. When I am not in session, I am soaking up all of the quality time with my family. I enjoy sports (mostly golf), skiing in the winter months, or simply going on a walk outside. I find that there is a huge amount of vulnerability and power in starting therapy. My goal is to make every client feel welcome, comfortable and supported in this new journey. I would love to talk more if you feel that I would be a good fit for you!
