Hi, I'm Rita Haley 👋

I’m a licensed behavior therapist in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and have been helping folks with anxiety and stress related disorders since I opened my doors in 2013.

Over the years I have developed an effective and efficient method of teaching youth and adults the skills and knowledge required to make measurable changes in their health and in their life. It is my passion to help people overcome an array of challenges and issues that get in the way of doing the things they want or need to do.  I earned my Masters degree in Clinical Counseling in 2010 from Assumption College where I earned a Graduate Fellowship for academic excellence. I’m also a licensed school social worker with over 20 years of experience as an educator.

In 2023, I was interviewed on 2 podcasts, respectively, regarding my expertise in the area of complex post traumatic stress disorder and its pervasive effects on the development of healthy self-esteem.

To reach and empower more people than I can in person, I've crafted this self-paced course as your tool to conquer anxiety, offering transformative strategies for healing on your own terms.

The course offers a transformative journey with key learning outcomes, including:

  • Mastery of breathing and relaxation techniques to stabilize the mind and body.

  • Introduction to mindful meditation for present-moment awareness.

  • Understanding of the body's stress response and strategies for its management.

  • Skills in observing and defusing from thoughts and feelings without judgment.

  • Strategies for challenging and changing problematic thought patterns and behaviors.

  • Goal-setting exercises to outline personal change, supported by actionable steps and resources.

This course equips you with powerful tools and strategies to navigate anxiety, transforming how you approach both mind and body wellness.

By integrating these practices into your daily life, you'll unlock a path to a more mindful, resilient, and balanced self, ready to face life's challenges with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get rid of my anxiety for good?

You can’t.  Anxiety is a normal, functional emotion that helps us adapt to change and respond effectively to problems in our life.  The goal is to manage anxiety, not eliminate it.

What is the difference between feeling anxious and an anxiety disorder?

Everyone feels anxious from time to time. It may not feel comfortable, but it is normal and healthy.  There are different types of anxiety disorders and what makes a disorder a disorder is that the symptoms of anxiety are pervasive and prevent a person from doing the things they need to do or want to do, or causes such distress the person’s physical well being is affected.

How can your course on managing anxiety be helpful?

Everyone needs to use skills to manage anxiety.  Learning skills and strategies helps us feel more effective in managing anxiety which then helps us deal more effectively with the issues that may be causing us to feel anxious.  In this way we are responding not reacting to problems in our life. 

What is the difference between clinical and non-clinical?

Clinical means the provider is assessing you and creating an individualized treatment plan based on that evaluation which is monitored and measured for progress.  Non-clinical implies the participant receives the same therapeutic instruction, but the provider is not evaluating you nor creating an individualized treatment plan. 

Do I have to have an anxiety disorder to take this course? 

No.  Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time.  This course is designed to teach the evidence-based skills and strategies that help people manage their anxiety.  These skills come from Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction modalities of psychotherapy.  These skills are taught in psychotherapy to help people manage all kinds of emotions.  They are effective in treating an anxiety disorder, but that are also effective at managing anxiety and preventing an anxiety disorder.
