About Dr. Haley Beech
Haley Beech is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) who currently works under the supervision of Joel Blackstock (LICSW-S, PIP). She completed her bachelor's degree in Sociology at Samford University in 2009 and then obtained her master's in social work from the University of Alabama in 2013. In 2023, she earned her PhD in Social Work from the University of Alabama. Her research focuses on the intersection of maternal health and violence against women, utilizing a trauma-informed perspective.
Haley believes that intentionality is critical in the therapeutic setting. She creates a calm and comforting environment, making it a safer space for clients to share their experiences. With her strong listening skills, she approaches each client with empathy, welcoming their true selves.
Dr. Beech strongly believes that trauma is stored not only in the mind but also embedded in the body. This perspective highlights her practice's emphasis on combined mind, body, and spiritual care. She prioritizes building rapport and establishing security in the therapeutic relationship before delving into deep trauma work.
In addition to her clinical work, Haley understands the extreme burnout that accompanies individuals who work in helping professions and those caring for a child with a disability. Her compassionate approach ensures that clients feel understood and accepted, fostering self-love and a sense of connection.
