Creating a safe space where clients feel heard and respected is at the core of Haley Schultz's therapeutic approach. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) and Resident in Counseling at Chesapeake Counseling Center, Haley combines a Person-Centered approach with Cognitive Behavioral techniques to empower individuals facing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and feelings of impulsivity.

Haley's journey in mental health began with a strong academic foundation.

Specializing in anxiety, obsessions/compulsions, panic attacks, and self-harming behaviors, Haley is dedicated to helping teens, adults, and couples navigate life's challenges. Her therapeutic style is tailored to fit each client's unique needs and goals. Haley believes in the inherent strength of individuals to grow and heal from their experiences, and she works collaboratively with clients to build self-esteem and create lasting positive changes in their daily lives.
