The name Black Sheep Counseling Services was chosen to portray an openness to standing separate or outside of a group. It was created because I noticed a clear need for therapy services that embrace differences and uniqueness. Often a therapist’s own cultural perspective can create judgment and distance that isn’t readily apparent and that blocks progress in therapy. At Black Sheep Counseling Services I believe that therapy exists to help people develop personal insight and to create the life they desire; not as a way to conform others to societal expectations.

My name is Haley Hewitt and I specialize in individual, couples, and family therapy.
