Hayley Kingry, Counseling Intern

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!

Hayley is a counseling intern at Live Oak Counseling Services and is accepting new clients. She enjoys working with children and adolescents (ages 8-17), and young adults(ages 18-25), adults (ages 25+), as well as collaborating and supporting families who may need additional support in navigating family dynamics and attachment-based relationships. Hayley is passionate about working with individuals who need additional support in managing and navigating a range of struggles and complaints, a few being stress, depression, anxiety, life-adjustments, ADHD, and trauma-related symptoms. 

Her therapeutic framework is very eclectic. She takes principles and concepts from various traditional therapies, blending them with more holistic therapy practices to best support overall mind, body, and spiritual wellness. A few frameworks she practices from include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Expressive Arts Therapy/Dance-Movement Therapy (DMT), Family Systems Therapy, Play Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Polyvagal Theory, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Currently, she is pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling Psychology at Brenau University and a Certification Program in Dance/Movement Therapy. Having spent over twenty years in the dance world and after falling in love learning about psychology in college, she now aspires to meld her passions for mental health, education/research and expressive art therapies to work with individuals on developing overall psychological, emotional, and physical well-being. 

Outside of being a therapist, she enjoys being outdoors, reading, dancing, gardening, farming, and spending time with her loved ones.“My WHY behind doing this work comes from having worked through and navigated my own mental health challenges over the years. I believe that my own struggles and hardships developed my own passion and drive to assist and walk alongside others through their own wellness journeys – and what an honor it is to do so!”

Hayley is currently under the supervision of Amber Flannery, MA, LPC, CPCS.
