Riverton Counseling Therapy

Haley Hawkins, CSW

Haley Hawkins, CSW

About Haley:

Haley attended Brigham Young University, where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology. Then she relocated to the Salt Lake valley where she earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah in 2023.

Haley’s favorite things about the state are being close to family and nestled within Utah’s beautiful mountain ranges. Haley is trained and experienced in a wide array of treatment techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Gottman therapy, Bowenian family therapy, and narrative therapy.

Her favorite part of the job is working with kids to help them learn about themselves in a positive, healthy, and supportive environment. She has a special passion for helping kids navigate trauma and come out the other side through positive psychology.

When she’s not at work, you might find Haley enjoying Chinese food and reading or watching Harry Potter and looking for words to live by.

“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” Dumbledore said that, and it’s pretty great.

Parent Feedback

We transferred to Families First about 6 years ago when our long time & only pediatrician moved out of state. I had worked with her in a large pediatric office before having children and am probably a bit particular about who I trust with my children’s health care. I have been so impressed with each office and provider we have dealt with at Families First. Especially Mitch Petersen, our primary pediatrician for all 6 of my kids. He’s awesome, my kids love him and he’s great at teaching & explaining and making everyone comfortable. Love all their services, including the newish counseling office. Valerie has been so helpful with one of my children. Loved that my 5 year old could get her ears pierced at one of the offices too.
