Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Life changing
Dr. Haley is an excellent therapist, I'm so happy to have found her. She was able to quickly identify areas that I needed to dig deeper into and helped me work through a lot of existing patterns to come out a stronger, more assertive person. I am better able to set boundaries and have the utmost respect and love for myself now. My time with Dr. Haley was truly life changing. Leading by example, she demonstrates her own confidence and assertiveness in the way she operates her sessions, which I really appreciate. She also gives homework which I found to be incredibly useful. The homework prompts allowed me to do more self-reflection in between sessions so I could come to her with things we could discuss right off the bat in the next session. I found this to be a really efficient and effective use of our time together. I would recommend Dr. Haley to anyone looking to really invest in themselves.

Dr. Haley is an incredible therapist. She very quickly identified the areas where I was struggling and helped me access my inner strength again. She gave me a perspective and philosophy that I will return to my entire life. I left her office every session stronger, and with actionable lessons. What comes up may not always be rainbows, but I feel more in control of my life and how those in my life treat me after her guidance. Do not expect to walk in to Dr. Haley's office without aim. Nor should you expect her to be someone who sits back and listens and doesn't have an opinion/push back on you. She is thoughtful and challenging - the perfect recipe for a person who truly cares about your growth and long term happiness. Be thoughtful, be on time, do the homework, and you will receive back everything you put in and more.

Dr. Haley is a great therapist. She listens, remembers, engages and, most of all, helps patients to see where they are struggling. I was struggling with a great deal of anxiety around my work, my doctoral studies and my elderly mother. She helped me get to the core of what was eating at me and engage with my irrational anxiety. I had always known my anxieties were irrational, but before working with her I could control my irrational overreactions. I still have all those same stressors as when I started seeing her but now when the feelings begin, I can respond to them in rational ways so that they don’t eat away at me. Dr. Haley was very good at telling me what I needed to hear, not always what I wanted to hear. She has helped me face my anxiety and move on with my life. I feel like my old self and am very grateful for that feeling.

I was going through a dreadful time and came to her for help, and the woman spent 75% of the appointment badgering me about money. From the introductory demand, to the forms with her policies (all with monetary components), it was a sales pitch. She even asked questions about my career and income and told me I should be able to afford her. We spent just a few minutes discussing my symptoms or why I was there. I left the appointment in tears.

Dr. Haley helped me address life's challenges during a turbulent time in my life. I first came to her office very depressed and anxious with a pattern of self deprecation; I left feeling more empowered and armed with coping mechanisms to address each issue. Our work together was not easy, but the positive impacts of self-focused therapy will last the rest of my life.

Do not waste your time with this woman. Horrible, horrible experience. She is one of the most intimidating and downright rude therapists I've ever encountered. I wish I had read the reviews below before I went to her. I left her office feeling upset because of her complete lack of genuine understanding and basic interpersonal skills. She also told me I can't afford to work with her because she's "that good" I really don't understand how this woman is licensed, she is a nightmare.

Dr. Haley cancelled an initial appointment just 2 hours prior, with a shockingly catty and unprofessional email. Read her yelp reviews.

Dr Haley is empathetic and a great listener. She has a no nonsense approach and demeanor which I admired and felt inspired by. Through months of active listening and thoughtful questions and observations, Dr Haley was able to help me peel back all the many layers of my anxieties to get to the source. She is an expert and her many years of experience is evident. Her guidance is gentle but deliberate. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking out talk therapy.

Dr Haley charges $120 per session in addition to your copay and in addition to the payment from your insurance company. We discussed payment and insurance before our session on two separate occasions but she failed to disclose this important information until the end of our session, which is obviously dishonest and unprofessional.

Dr. Haley is a very compassionate and caring psychologist. While being supportive and a good listener she is very actively engaged and amazingly helpful. Her insightfulness opened my eyes and placed me in a very positive direction. Her main focus was to help me become emotionally strong. She helped me stand on my own two feet' able to focus and solve the problems life throws at me without professional help,

I've seen lots of therapists. None has helped me get myself together anywhere near as much as she has. Of course I didn't like doing the homeworks and sometimes wished she'd let me get away with fooling myself. But I sure LOVE the results! I recommend her to you if you want to turn your life around.
