Dr. Hadley’s approach to therapy promotes the deepening of one’s own understanding as a means of resolving internal conflict that is at the root of symptoms impacting daily life. She believes the relationship and therapeutic approach are unique to each person, and therapy is viewed as a collaborative and empowering opportunity for people to curiously explore and gain insight into their lived experiences. Dr. Hadley’s clinical work is rooted in LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy and anti-oppressive practice drawing from mindfulness, Gestalt Therapy, parts-work and psychoanalytic approaches. Skill-based interventions, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy distress tolerance skills, are also utilized as needed.

Dr. Hadley often works with individuals who seek to explore, understand and integrate life experiences underlying their difficulties. She sees people impacted by grief and loss, trauma, family of origin stress, as well as identity exploration and questioning. Dr. Hadley also works with individuals in long-term recovery from substance abuse. While these clinical areas are emphasized, she does not limit her work by mental health background or diagnosis and instead focuses on if an individual’s current difficulties and goals are within the scope of her clinical practice.

Dr. Hadley earned a master’s degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and a doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology with Emphasis in Depth Psychology. Her dissertation research focused on LGBTQIA+ in-group dynamics. Dr. Hadley has worked with underserved people throughout the country and has provided therapy services in various managed care and school-based settings. She is currently pre-licensed in the state of Minnesota and supervised by Dr. Daryl Holloway.

Outside of therapeutic work, Dr. Hadley loves spending time in nature, caring for her dogs, and slowing down to appreciate the simple things in life.
