Hailey Benedict

Hailey is a licensed Occupational Therapist registered with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario. She has a Bachelors degree in Psychology from McGill and completed her Masters of Occupational Therapy & Occupational Science at University of Toronto in 2020.

For the past four years, Hailey has worked in an in-patient neurological rehab program at Providence Healthcare in Toronto. As an OT, Hailey helps to address clients’ physical, cognitive and psychosocial needs following accident and/or injury to help them get back to their daily activities. She partners with clients to problem solve any challenges they may be facing in being able to do the things they want and need to do - whether that be self-care tasks/sleep routines, household/community responsibilities, leisure activities or return to work and driving.

Hailey has a passion for mental health. Her present focus is treating psychosocial barriers to activity participation using behavioural activation, strengths-based and CBT-informed approaches. She also has a special and growing interest in concussion care.

In her spare time, Hailey enjoys spending time with friends and family, cooking, yoga, hiking/camping, and being endlessly entertained by her two cats. She also enjoys her volunteer work as a crisis responder with Kids Help Phone.
