My Approach

Welcome! I'm Haile Reeve (she/her/hers), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) offering therapy in West Seattle and online throughout Washington State. I'm deeply passionate about creating a counseling space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood. My work is rooted in compassion, acceptance, and the belief that everyone deserves a place where their experiences are recognized and valued.

You might be feeling ready to understand yourself on a deeper level—to explore the skills you already have, where they come from, and why they've helped you get this far. Maybe you're curious about how your past experiences, relationships, and conditioning have shaped the way you show up in the world, and you're looking to build new tools that feel more aligned with who you truly are. Many of my clients come to therapy looking for support with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity exploration, and life transitions, and together we make space for all of it.

​

In our work together, you'll find a space that's collaborative, compassionate, and focused entirely on you. We'll look at the bigger picture of your life—your relationships, your patterns, your strengths—and work toward boosting your self-esteem and reconnecting with your most authentic self. Every story is unique, so your counseling should be too. In our sessions, you'll find a supportive environment that respects your perspective, values your voice, and considers both your inner world and the world around you. Together, we'll explore what's coming up, uncover what matters most to you, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change—at your pace, on your terms.

In a typical session with me, you can expect an open, engaging, and collaborative space where we follow what feels most present for you—whether that's a current challenge, a recurring pattern, or deeper questions about who you are and what you need. We'll explore thoughtful questions to get to the heart of things, use visualization exercises to access insights that words alone can't always reach, and even map things out visually when it helps clarify your thoughts or highlight connections. Together, we'll break your goals into manageable steps, making them feel less overwhelming and more achievable.

Along the way, you'll learn practical skills and tools that support your emotional well-being, self-awareness, and confidence. We'll also intentionally reflect on your strengths, your conditioning, and the parts of yourself you're getting to know more deeply. Every session is shaped around you—your pace, your needs—with curiosity and compassion leading the way.

I'm committed to connecting people with resources that are as unique as they are, including grounding tools, community supports, creative exercises, and systems that help you build sustainable change. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a warm, human-centered presence so you feel both supported and empowered in your mental health journey.

​

Outside of counseling, you can often find me enjoying the beach, trying new eateries, spending time with my community, playing video games, reading comics, or discovering new experiences. These parts of my life keep me grounded, curious, and connected—and I bring that same spirit into the counseling room.

​

Life is full of twists and turns, and you don't have to navigate them alone. Suppose you're ready to reconnect with yourself, explore the deeper layers of your experiences, and move toward lasting, meaningful change. In that case, I'm here to walk alongside you—compassionately, collaboratively, and with deep respect for your story.
