Getting to know William Hale

My name is Billy Hale (he/him), and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about supporting teens, couples, families, and adult individuals. I strive to create a safe space filled with warmth, humor, and unconditional positive regard where clients can be their true, authentic selves. My approach I take a person-centered, non-judgmental approach to meet clients exactly where they are. I work alongside you in partnership, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Existential, and Narrative modalities to co-create healing and growth. My focus I have extensive experience supporting trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, and life transitions across a mosaic of populations. My communication style I lean into warmth and humor to create an environment that feels comfortable for sharing life experiences. My journey to mental healthcare Originally from the Bay Area, I completed my undergraduate studies at Tufts University in Boston and worked in finance before shifting life paths and moving to South America. After five years working with both non-governmental organizations and the Colombian public school system, I returned to the United States and completed a dual master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling from St. Mary's College of California. My goals for you I believe you are the expert of your experiences. I work alongside you in partnership to co-create goals to work on together. My first session with you Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another. I'll introduce myself and my overall approach to therapy. We'll discuss why you decided to start therapy, explore some important relationships in your life, and establish preliminary goals. At the end, we'll check in to see how your experience felt-it's important that you feel we are a good fit together!
