Halley Ceglia Terrell, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Patient, & Advocate
Bridgeport, CT
Halley Terrell, LCSW, is a clinical social worker, health and life coach, yoga and meditation teacher, Reiki practitioner, and Embody Dance facilitator whose work centers on supporting women with endometriosis from high school through adulthood. Her role in the endometriosis world is shaped by both clinical expertise and lived experience—having navigated chronic pain, infertility, medical complexity, and the deep emotional and spiritual impact of living in a body that was not always believed.
Halley works at the intersection of mental health, embodiment, spirituality, and women’s health. She supports girls and women with endometriosis through pivotal life stages, including adolescence, college, early adulthood, fertility journeys, career development, pregnancy, postpartum, and ongoing chronic illness care. She also works closely with families and caregivers, helping them understand the invisible realities of endometriosis and how best to support their loved ones.
Her approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and deeply relational. Drawing from DBT, CBT, and IFS-informed frameworks, Halley weaves in movement, mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic awareness when clinically indicated. She believes healing is not only about symptom management, but about restoring safety in the body, trust in one’s inner knowing, and meaning in the story—especially for those whose pain has been minimized, dismissed, or misunderstood.
Halley collaborates closely with surgeons, APRNs and psychiatric providers, holistic practitioners, school systems (including PPT and 504 planning), and multidisciplinary medical teams to ensure coordinated, compassionate care. Her work is rooted in advocacy and bridge-building—supporting patients, educating families, and partnering with practitioners to create care that honors both science and lived experience.
Her why: no woman with endometriosis should have to fight to be believed, navigate healing alone, or disconnect from her body to survive. Halley’s mission is to transform the lived experience of endometriosis care—by creating space for voice, embodiment, spirituality, and wholeness alongside medical treatment.
In addition to her endometriosis-focused work, Halley also supports individuals with anxiety, ADHD, autism, and twice-exceptionality, particularly as these intersect with chronic illness, identity development, and life transitions.
