Hi, I’m Hayley.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Moberly, Missouri.

Over the past decade, I have worked with individuals and couples by helping with various mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship issues. I approach therapy with the idea of the past is present, meaning that any attachment issues and childhood trauma will eventually present themselves through mental health symptoms if not addressed.

I help clients tackle these issues through Cognitive-Behavioral therapy and EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), but I also believe that good therapy is not constrained to just one or two modalities. Clients who work with me are informed that my techniques almost always stem from both an attachment and trauma focus. Because of this, I find that clients begin to feel relief from symptoms quite quickly. In addition, clients inevitably increase self-awareness and understanding of how they can use the ”bad things” in their life, past or present, to create positive change within themselves and their relationships.

My husband and I are avid world travelers and I enjoy working with people of all cultural and religious backgrounds. As a Christian, I am passionate about helping others discover their value and worth in Jesus Christ and what that means for their personal lives, their families and their marriages. I believe that spiritual and emotional health go hand-in-hand. I encourage and welcome my clients to discuss their beliefs in whatever way they are comfortable. All MGCC clients are asked in their initial intake forms to accept or decline prayer and/or biblical scripture references as a part of their counseling experience.   

My highest goal as a therapist is to help individuals recognize their own resilience and purpose while healing from the difficulties of the past. I know that therapy is a hard, vulnerable place, especially if you’re new to it. People typically find that the first session is the scariest! While I can't promise to make it easier, I never underestimate how difficult the process can be and I strive to always be caring, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. One thing is for sure: my clients are some of the bravest people I have ever met and I love the work that I get to do!

If you are ready to take the next step, I am ready to come alongside you and help in every way possible. I look forward to working with you on your journey!


I’m a 30-something year old counselor who is originally from this area (Moberly). After a six year stint in St. Louis, my husband Ian and I settled down in Moberly in 2019. I’ve been married for twelve years, and we have adopted two kids, Nola (5) & Keen (3). 

I didn’t figure out “what I wanted to do when I grew up” until I started volunteering at a pregnancy care center and was exposed to expecting mothers handling an unexpected pregnancy, most with no support. This led me to begin my career in counseling, adoption, and foster care.  I graduated from Lindenwood University in 2018 with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling and am a TBRI Practitioner.

I have primarily worked with expecting mothers, adolescents, and teens thus far and desire to help others recognize and process through their trauma. I look forward to meeting you and working together in hopes for a better and brighter future. 

Hi, I’m Karcie.

Hi, I’m Cory.

I grew up in Huntsville, MO, and after a stint in Texas for grad school, I decided to return to my hometown to serve the community I love! I believe every person is born with unique strengths and finding deep meaning and purpose in your life is vitally important to long term happiness. I’m particularly passionate about working with autistic adults and individuals with developmental disabilities. I take a strengths-based approach to empower you to achieve your goals, become more independent, and navigate life’s ups and downs. I might be the right fit for you if you are looking for a safe place to identify your strengths, explore your life experiences, and discover your purpose.

I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, emotion regulation difficulties, autism spectrum disorder, and other developmental disorders. I am trained in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, DBT and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

If you're struggling to find your purpose and cope with life's ups and downs I might be the right fit for you. I believe in holistic wellness and our sessions together will reflect that. I believe you are the expert on yourself and I tailor our sessions to meet you where you’re at in order to help you achieve your goals.

I work with ages 15 and up.
