Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kimberly Hayes, LCSW-S, a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience helping adults navigate mental health, substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed care. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. My goal is to meet you where you are and work together toward greater healing, confidence, and fulfillment.

My approach to therapy

My approach is genuine, practical, and focused on helping you better understand yourself, develop effective coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create a life that feels more fulfilling. Whether you are navigating a specific challenge or simply recognize that something needs to change, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

What you can expect from me

During your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you, understanding what brings you to therapy, and identifying the concerns and goals you would like to address. I’ll ask questions about your experiences, strengths, relationships, and current challenges so we can begin developing a personalized treatment plan. Most importantly, this is an opportunity for you to ask questions, share what you need from therapy, and begin building a comfortable, trusting therapeutic relationship. You can expect a supportive, judgment-free space where we move at a pace that feels right for you.
