Haley Champion, LPC — Licensed Professional Counselor in Columbus, GA

There is something that happens when you sit across from a therapist who has truly seen it all — the hospital unit, the school hallway, the private practice office, and the living room of a mother who is barely keeping it together. You feel it immediately: this person knows what they’re doing, and they’ve met people in harder places than this.

That is what Haley Champion brings to every session. A Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia with more than 10 years of clinical experience, Haley has worked with children, adults, parents, and families across a wide range of settings and life circumstances. She now brings that depth of experience to ADAPT Network — seeing clients in private practice while also serving as a therapist embedded at Brookstone School in Columbus.

About Haley

Haley Champion is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a clinical background that spans private practice, inpatient hospital settings, and K-12 school counseling — a combination that gives her an unusually broad and grounded perspective on what people actually need when they’re struggling.

Currently, Haley divides her clinical work between her private practice clients at ADAPT Network and her role as a therapist at Brookstone School in Columbus, GA — where she works directly with children and adolescents in an educational setting. This dual role keeps her closely connected to the realities of child and family mental health in the Columbus community.

Haley’s approach is warm, pragmatic, and deeply client-centered. She draws primarily from interpersonal, client-centered, and family systems frameworks — but tailors her approach to each individual rather than fitting clients into a method. Her goal is simple: meet you where you are, understand where you want to go, and help you navigate the path.

As a mother herself, Haley has a particular heart for parents — especially mothers — who are doing their best in a role that is harder than anyone tells you it will be.

Who Haley Works With

Children and Adolescents

Haley’s school-based clinical work at Brookstone gives her a unique window into the world children and teens are actually living in — the social dynamics, the academic pressure, the identity questions, and the family stressors that show up in a child’s behavior and emotional life. She works with children and adolescents experiencing:

  • Anxiety and worry
  • Depression and low mood
  • Behavioral challenges and emotional dysregulation
  • School-related stress and academic struggles
  • Social difficulties and peer relationship challenges
  • Grief and loss
  • Life transitions — divorce, relocation, family change

Adults

Haley works with adults across a wide range of life circumstances and clinical presentations, including:

  • Anxiety and chronic worry
  • Depression and low motivation
  • Grief and loss — including the loss of a relationship, a role, or a sense of identity
  • Life transitions — career shifts, relationship changes, empty nest, retirement
  • Relationship challenges and interpersonal patterns
  • Stress and burnout
  • Parenting support and the emotional weight of raising children

Mothers

Haley has a special place in her practice for mothers — women who are holding enormous amounts of emotional labor, navigating the tension between who they were before children and who they are now, and often seeking support for the first time after years of putting everyone else first.

This includes mothers of young children, mothers navigating postpartum adjustment, mothers of school-age kids managing the mental load, and mothers whose children have grown and left them asking: now what?

Haley’s Approach

Haley practices primarily from interpersonal, client-centered, and family systems frameworks — meaning she attends not just to what you’re experiencing internally, but to the relational context around you: your family of origin, your current relationships, the roles you play, and the patterns that follow you.

She doesn’t apply a one-size-fits-all method. Every treatment plan is built around the individual in front of her — their history, their strengths, their goals, and what they’re actually ready to do.

Haley believes it takes courage to seek help. If you’re ready to take that step, she is ready to meet you there.

Haley at ADAPT Network

As part of the ADAPT Network team, Haley’s work doesn’t exist in isolation. For clients where nervous system regulation is part of the clinical picture, LENS Neurofeedback is available within the same practice — offered by two Ochs Labs-certified providers. For couples where individual therapy is part of a larger relational pattern, Gottman Method couples therapy is available through Erin Harkey, LMSW.

ADAPT Network’s model is built on the belief that better outcomes happen when clinicians work together. Haley’s clients benefit from that collaborative framework.
