Hayley Dechen, LMSW

Clinical Therapist

Hayley Dechen, LMSW is a Clinical Therapist at North Atlanta Behavioral Health, specializing in treating adults with mental health and substance use disorders at the PHP and IOP levels of care. Her work is grounded in a person-centered, solution-focused approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Hayley brings experience from acute residential treatment settings and has a particular interest in working with mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders. She is known for her ability to connect with clients through a balance of empathy, humor, and honesty.

Her style can be summed up as: “Let’s figure out what’s not working and try something else.” Hayley collaborates closely with clients, meeting them where they are while also providing accountability when needed. She values the importance of involving support systems and helping loved ones better understand and support the recovery process.

Above all, Hayley is passionate about creating a space where clients feel safe, heard, and supported—while also being challenged to grow in meaningful and sustainable ways.
