Hi, Iām Hailee, one of the therapists at Unbound Counseling.
Iām in my late 20s, and for a long time, I thought I was supposed to have life figured out by now. The older I get, the more I realize that most of us are just figuring it out as we go.
And honestly? I find that comforting.
I didnāt exactly take the traditional route to get here. I flunked out of college the first time. I didnāt really know how to do college, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and my priorities wereā¦well, letās just say they could have used some work.
Eventually, I picked myself back up. I went back to school, earned my bachelorās degree, and then my masterās.
It took me a while to realize that not having your life figured out doesnāt mean youāre failing at life.
I also grew up with some experiences that made me learn pretty early that family can be complicated. I know what itās like to carry things from childhood into adulthood, to compare yourself to other people, and to wonder whether the things youāve been through are still affecting you.
Maybe thatās part of why I became the therapist I am.
I know what itās like to wish you had a place where you could say the messy stuff out loud without having to make it sound better first.
Iām also a twin, so comparison has basically been a lifelong extracurricular activity.
These days, I especially enjoy working with teens, college students, and adults who are trying to figure out who they are, where theyāre going, and why everyone else seems to have their life together when they absolutely do not.
Thing like College stress. Anxiety. Relationships. Family stuff. Self-esteem. Big life decisions. Feeling stuck. Feeling behind. Feeling like you should have it all figured out by now. I know them by name. And you if feel like you should have all that figured out by now. Well, You donāt have to.
My office has a comfy couch, candy, random little trinkets, and a therapist who will actually listen to what youāre saying.
You donāt need to come in with a five-year plan. You donāt even have to know exactly whatās wrong.
You can show up overwhelmed, anxious, confused, frustrated, or just tired of trying to figure everything out by yourself. We can start there.
Iāve lived in Morgantown for most of my life, have a few cats keeping me company, and am still figuring out my own life one day at a time.
I guess thatās kind of the point.
You donāt have to have it all together before you ask for help.
Sometimes you just need a comfy couch, some candy, and someone "who gets it."
