Runner Mental Health & Performance Skills

 Helping you reach your running & mental health goals

Here at Trailhead Counseling DFW we are working to change the narrative and culture around mental health and running. While, it’s common to hear the phrase “running is my therapy” running in itself is not therapy and instead can be used in unhealthy ways to manage emotions or maintain eating disorders and unhealthy exercise behaviors. Research shows that runners are at a higher risk than the general population for development of mental health struggles and these struggles impact both their life and running goals. We desire to help you thrive both with your mental health and your running endeavors!

Hey, I’m Haleigh Licensed Professional Counselor and Trail Runner

At Trailhead Counseling DFW, I bring a unique perspective to therapy, combining my experience as a competitive runner, clinician, and personal journey of recovery from anorexia. I connect deeply with my clients' struggles, goals, and journeys, offering support from a place of authenticity and empathy. Unlike a typical therapist, I show up as my true self—blending laughter, meaningful conversations, and a touch of sass to create a comfortable, open space. This approach allows my clients to embrace their true selves, fostering the deep soul work necessary for healing, joy, and unlocking their full potential in both running and life. Whether you're navigating recovery, seeking personal growth, my commitment to genuine connection helps guide you on your path to wellness and success.
