Hailey Mostacciuolo
MA, LPC, NCC
Hailey Mostacciuolo is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Sport and Exercise Psychology and her Master of Arts in Counseling from West Virginia University.
Hailey has experience providing counseling in private practice, community mental health, and career counseling settings. She works with children (ages 6 and older), adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, relationship concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and substance use concerns. She also has experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and is committed to providing affirming, individualized care that recognizes each person's unique strengths, needs, and experiences.
Hailey believes that all behavior serves a purpose and that people are the experts of their own lives. Many of the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors we experience develop as ways of adapting to our circumstances. While these patterns may have once provided safety, stability, or protection, they may no longer align with the life a person wants to create. Hailey is passionate about helping people understand themselves with compassion, identify patterns that may no longer be helpful, and develop skills that support a life more aligned with their values and goals.
Hailey's approach to therapy is collaborative, trauma-informed, and individualized, recognizing that therapy is never a "one-size-fits-all" process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) serves as a foundation of her work, while she also integrates concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, nervous system regulation, and other evidence-based interventions. She believes that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of the healing process and strives to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and understood. Hailey incorporates creative and experiential techniques to make therapy engaging while supporting emotional awareness, skill development, and meaningful growth.
Above all, Hailey believes that clients are people first and not simply a diagnosis or a set of challenges. She works to create a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel seen, heard, and valued while collaboratively taking steps toward their personal goals.
Outside of the therapy office, Hailey enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring new places, engaging in creative activities, and making memories with her family, friends, and pets (a bunny and a cat). She also serves as an Ambassador for Morgan's Message, where she advocates for equity in the treatment of physical and mental health and works to normalize conversations about mental health within the athlete community.
