We love Haley!!
My name is Haley Padgett. I currently work at Alexandria Place Therapy in Old Town, Alexandria, and SafeSpot Child Advocacy Center in Fairfax. Alexandria Place Therapy is a private practice where I work with kids, teens and adults with a wide range of presenting issues, and at SafeSpot we serve children and families who are victims of child abuse. In both locations, I am always exploring ways to integrate play therapy and other creative modalities into evidence-based practices.
How did you get involved in play therapy?
I first learned about play therapy as an elementary school teacher when I wanted to learn how to better support my students’ mental health. The modality deeply resonated with me and motivated my eventual transition away from education and into the mental health field.
