Hayley Schmidt, LMHC-D
An Integrative Approach
My practice is informed by a blend of Psychodynamic Theory, Transpersonal Psychology, Existential-Humanistic Theory, Somatic Psychology, and Energy Psychology. Principles I extract from these approaches guide the way I hold space for healing, growth, and transformation.
My core beliefs about healing include: 1) People have the power within themselves to make changes and achieve healing. 2) People have to want to do the work to heal and the actions are their responsibility. 3) Our thoughts create our reality, including physical ailments experienced, are a result of the body storing emotions and trauma. 4) Spiritual Warfare also influences peoples’ emotional states, actions, and behavior. 5) Healing is relief from what burdens us- physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Healing is having a changed perspective on how our experiences help us grow and become who we are meant to be in this lifetime.
I use EMDR, Reiki Energy Healing, Aroma Therapy, and CBT to support clients in achieving a fresh perspective on who they are, explore who they really are as a healed person, self image healing, self discovery, validating intuition, and emotional mastery.
