Hey good people! I’m Haley O’Bryan, CPA, LMFT (she/her).
I’m a queer, neurodivergent, gender nonconforming therapist who is passionate about helping others become their most authentic and grounded selves.
I’m also a human on her own mental health journey, and as a therapist I want you to know that I am here to walk beside you, not ahead of you.
I made the decision to become a licensed marriage and family therapist after previous lives as an accountant, web developer, and catalog editor. Over time, I’ve grown especially passionate towards working with my fellow LGBTQ+ folks, neurodivergent teens/adults, immigrants, high demand group survivors, and people in the poly/BDSM/kink communities. I am also quite interested in helping people from all backgrounds process trauma, as I believe no human being on earth is immune to its effects.
I operate with a strengths-based, client-centered orientation, with some practical components thrown in there for my fellow analytical folks. I am also increasingly incorporating EMDR and other somatic work into my practice. I can go either way with homework and like to collaborate with clients to see what will work best for them.
If this sounds good to you, we’ll probably get along famously. But don’t take my word for it! Try a free 15-minute consultation to see what’s good.

More fun facts!
The name “Infinite Corners” comes from the name of my old travel blog, as I fancied myself someone who wanted to see “all of the infinite corners of the world.” The blog itself was extremely cringey and incredibly entertaining. But I love this name because of what it represents: unlimited places to go and unlimited ways to be human.
I’m an animal fanatic and I love all animals - even centipedes!
I’m also still a licensed CPA. Weird skillset, eh?
I’m a pole fitness athlete and competed in the Pacific Pole Championship in 2016. Still working on my shoulder mount, though.
I love tattoos and am in the process of getting a full right sleeve in traditional Japanese style.
