A Place to Feel Heard and Understood

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by life changes, anxious thoughts, or the weight of trying to hold everything together, you're not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it all by yourself. Whether you’re adjusting to a new diagnosis, facing relationship stress, or just trying to find your footing, I’m here to help you explore what’s going on and find a path forward that feels true to you.

I’m Hailley Cound, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in St. Paul, and I work with teens and adults who are ready to better understand themselves, process life’s stressors, and grow confidence in their ability to handle what life throws their way. 

Why Work With Me

Since 2018, I’ve worked in human services supporting neurodivergent youth, and in 2022, I began my counseling practice. My passion for therapy is rooted in my own firsthand experience of how transformative it can be—not just for the individual, but for everyone around them.

I work with adolescents, teens, adults, and LGBTQ clients who are facing challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, or communication struggles. I’m especially drawn to helping people who are trying to make sense of difficult emotions or life stressors and want to feel more grounded and confident in who they are.

My Approach to Therapy

Therapy with me is client-led and client-focused. That means you set the pace, and we’ll work together to explore the areas of your life that feel most important to you. I’m here to listen, support, and offer tools—not to give you all the answers, but to help you discover them for yourself.

I use a blend of DBT, CBT, narrative, and person-centered approaches. These styles allow us to both understand the story you’ve been living and explore new ways of managing emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Whether we’re working on emotion regulation, building coping skills, or untangling internal narratives, everything we do is grounded in curiosity and collaboration.

These methods are especially helpful for people navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or big life transitions. 

Addressing Common Concerns

Not sure if therapy is right for you? That’s a common feeling—and it’s okay to have questions or hesitations.

Here are some of the challenges I often help clients work through:

• Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or panic

• Struggling with depression or a sense of emptiness

• Adjusting to a new diagnosis or major life change

• Managing symptoms related to autism or ADHD

• Navigating relationship or communication issues

• Coping with past trauma or difficult experiences

• Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who you are

Whatever you're facing, therapy can be a supportive space to explore what’s going on and find ways to move forward.

A Bit About Me

Outside of the therapy room, I’m someone who finds joy in life’s quieter moments. I love spending time with my cats and exploring all the hidden gems around the Twin Cities. Whether it’s trying a new coffee shop or taking a walk in a new neighborhood, I’m always curious about the world around me.

That same curiosity shows up in how I approach therapy—with openness, compassion, and a genuine interest in your story.

Let’s Work Together

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to support you. Whether you're looking for in-person therapy in St. Paul or prefer virtual sessions, we’ll work together in a way that fits your life.
