Seth Haxel

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I always say that being a therapist isn't my first career (I took ten years between getting my bachelor's degree and starting my Master's in Counseling), but after three different careers I have found my passion. My therapeutic style combines a laid-back atmosphere with helping folks do the often hard work to find their best selves. I enjoy taking my time getting to know clients, as well as letting them get to know me. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help folks get a better understanding of how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. We then look for places to make changes to improve their lives! I work with all ages over 18, and have the most experience working with young adults. I am open to most presenting concerns, but have particular expertise with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic attacks, depression, relationship concerns, fears/phobias, burnout (including academic burnout), stress, and adjustment concerns. I spent my childhood exploring the woods and mountains of Central Virginia, my young adulthood doing the same in Morgantown, West Virginia, and (having recently moved to Burlington), look forward to getting to experience the natural beauty of Vermont. I am an avid reader, and am never far from my book. I also love travelling, and to date have visited 15 different countries and 40 states.
