In-person therapy in Utah & Missouri
Online across Utah, Missouri & Arizona
You’re building the life you’re supposed to want — the career, maybe a first baby, a relationship you’re working to hold together — and most days you make it look manageable. But underneath, something aches. Maybe it’s a betrayal you can’t stop replaying. Maybe it’s grief that arrived and never fully left. Maybe it’s the quiet sense that you’ve lost touch with who you are beneath everything you do.
I’m Haleigh Left Hand-Hack, and I work with adults — often late twenties to mid-thirties — who are done just coping. New professionals, new parents, people carrying relationship stress or the loss of someone they loved. If you’re ready to actually do the work between sessions, and not only talk about it, we’ll get along well.
I’ll tell you where I started: grounded, practical, evidence-first — my training is in clinical tools and systems, not mysticism. But the deeper I’ve gone in this work, and in my own reconnection to culture, the more I’ve grown into the spirit-led, medicine-wheel healing at the heart of NATIVation. Today I hold both. I pair real clinical tools — EMDR, ego state (parts) therapy, clinical hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and energy work — with the medicine wheel approach we practice together here. That blend reaches the wounds talk therapy tends to circle around, processes what’s been weighing on you, and helps you come back to yourself steadier and more self-trusting than when you walked in.
My own path is part of why this matters to me. I grew up an urban Native, often feeling “not Native enough” — caught between worlds. Reconnecting to my culture became one of the most strengthening things I’ve ever done, and it shapes how I sit with anyone who feels disconnected from themselves, their people, or their roots. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to come home to yourself.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis — the #2-ranked school of social work in the nation — with a concentration in American Indian/Alaska Native communities and a specialization in policy, where I received the Outstanding Practicum Student Award. Before that, I completed a B.S. in Criminology & Criminal Justice at the University of Missouri–St. Louis as a Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma Higher Education scholar. Beyond the therapy room, I’ve served as an ICWA Qualified Expert Witness and a policy and grant-writing advocate for tribal nations — because I believe healing happens for individuals and for the systems around them.
If you’re ready to stop white-knuckling it and start truly healing — grounded, cultural, and real — I’d love to meet you.
