Sweetbrier Counseling

About Me

Welcome! I am Haleigh Kelley, Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with specialized training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and a level 2 AEDP therapist.

At four years old, I declared that when I grew up, I wanted to be a mom. In high school, I realized that I wanted to care for others, and decided that I wanted to pursue nursing school. Unfortunately, some physical injuries made that impossible, and that’s when I found my way to counseling, something that includes the nurture and caring I wanted to be able to provide. I consider it an honor to work with others through some of the most painful and meaningful parts of their lives.

I work with new and expectant parents, including parents of toddlers & older children. My goal is to provide meaningful support and insight to help guide you through the joys and challenges of parenting.

I also provide support for medical professionals who worked and studied through the early COVID pandemic. The way a collective experience became so much more unbearable to those on the frontlines, I have seen the traumatic effects, and want to continue to provide a safe space to those who cared for others during that time.

My therapeutic style is empathetic, strength-based, and non-judgmental, creating a safe space for you to explore your challenges and find healing.
