Hallie Stone

Hi! I'm Hallie (they/them) and I have been working as a mental health professional since 2020. I received my Master of Education in Counseling and Human Services from Lehigh University. I initially trained in substance abuse programs supporting folks with both behavior changes related to substances and mental health related stressors. While my work no longer centers on treating addiction, I did learn extensively about treating trauma, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I took a particular interest in how mental health intersects with identity stress related issues.These days, my work focuses on treating those who identify within the LGBTQIAA+ community as well as their allies with a variety of life issues including chronic stress and trauma, dissociation, family/relationship/interpersonal issues, and life transitions.

I take a holistic approach to counseling by supporting folks in exploring their attitudes, values, beliefs, and lived experiences when it comes to identifying treatment goals. I am trained in a variety of evidence-based techniques and will pull from multiple in order to tailor sessions to meet each individual's specific needs. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also utilize elements of parts work, other mindfulness based approaches, somatic skills, and emotion-focused practices to support growth.

We’ll take a deeper look at how the context of your culture, identity, and values play a role in defining how you view yourself and we’ll explore new ways to find the most authentic version of you. My approach to therapy, while using evidence base approaches such as EMDR therapy, is also grounded in practices that are trauma-informed and affirming of all human beings. I believe in the importance of acknowledging the harm of oppressive systems and strive to create spaces that are equitable and accessible.
