Getting to know Hailey M Smith

Hello! About me: I am a multiracial Southern Californian native in my thirties. I earned my Bachelor's degree from Vanguard University and my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from California Baptist University. As a therapist, I take honor in being able to help my clients achieve their mental health goals and increase fulfillment in their lives. My free time is spent with my fur babies, Nala and Leona, traveling, going to the local dog beaches, and focusing on my pillars of health. Mental, emotional, relational, and physical health balance are the keys to sustaining an abundant life. I would love to meet with you in the near future to start or continue your mental health journey with you!

What should a new client know about working with you?

After your first session you can expect to have a more strategized plan to addressing problematic symptoms caused from your mental health. You will have an overview of the treatment process and theoretical orientations that will be applied. I will collaborate with you to narrow down your personal mental health goals, as well as offer any perspective of other life areas that seem to be negatively impacted by your presenting symptoms. Throughout your therapeutic experience we will explore many areas of your life, including the past and present while maintaining your autonomy and future development. The main goal will be linked to moving you towards achieving your treatment goal. My goal is to collaborate with you and provide perspective that can improve your life focus' & increase wellbeing.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I had an amazing experience in the few short sessions I had with Hailey. She is really good at listening and helping work through problems
This is the first time I’ve ever felt truly free to express EVERYTHING in therapy. Hailey is amazing and I hope she never leaves!
She is all of the above. I'm grateful to have her as my therapist now. She really knows her stuff and I feel very comfortable talking with her. She is so much better than many of my previous therapists, as she has all the right experience for my diagnoses, and I look forward to our sessions.
Haley is all of those options from what I have seen. I think she's great, she has really met my needs. I look forward to working with her in the future.
Taking to Hailey was a great experience and opened me up to ways I can overcome hard feelings and work around anxieties. She is very understanding and provides an amazing outside look at your life!
Hailey is direct but also empathetic. Being compassionate and providing focus allows for me to express my true self during therapy. Her sincerity in understanding me along with her knowledge and experience provides effective tools and mindset for me to navigate through difficulties in my week.
My experience with Hailey has been very pleasant. I feel heard and understood by her. She challenges me by asking questions and clarifies to ensure she understands my perspective. She doesn’t challenge my feelings but instead asks why I feel the way I feel. It feels good to be heard and understood. It’s often hard for me to even understand my own feelings and she helps me through how to communicate them in a more constructive way.
