Hayley grenrock, BA
Lead Recovery Counselor
Hayley moved to Santa Cruz in 2018 after graduating with honors from UCSB with a BA in Psychology and minor in Applied Psychology. She has been professionally employed in the mental health field for the past five years, primarily working in county mental health facilities with individuals struggling with severe mental illnesses. Hayley’s passion for working in the mental health field began when she was a teenager and found herself in residential treatment for anorexia and depression. Her long battle to recover inspired in her a desire to help others in their own recovery journeys.
At the age of 15 while still in treatment, Hayley made a promise to herself, “If I survive this, and recover, then one day I am going to give back the love and support that got me through this by becoming a counselor for other individuals struggling with eating disorders.”
Ten years later, almost to the day, Hayley found herself being offered a position at Lotus and took it without hesitation. Hayley brings to Lotus her passion for helping others recognize their own unique strengths and the power of their individual perspectives.
She draws from a client-centered holistic and humanistic approach to treatment, and uses her knowledge of expressive arts and cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy modalities to guide and structure her groups with clients. She has traveled to Bali Indonesia, her spiritual home, every year for the past seven years and incorporates Eastern philosophies regarding meditation, mindfulness, gratitude, community, and ritual into both her daily life and her work with clients. Her long term goal is to become a licensed drama therapist who utilizes the creative process of the individual to help them in their own unique journey of self exploration and self expression."
