Welcome to my practice! My name is Sara Hayes. As a licensed clinical social worker and certified DBT therapist, I believe that while life can knock us down, we all have the capacity to get back up—with the right support. I view therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to move from merely surviving to truly thriving.

​

Change is often difficult, but I believe each of us has the inner strength to move through pain and toward healing. My role is to walk alongside you in that process—helping to identify what’s holding you back, what strengths you already possess, and how we can use both to reduce suffering and create meaningful change.

​

I provide treatment for anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and trauma, working with both adolescents and adults. My practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, client-centered approach that honors each person’s unique journey.

​

I draw on a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities, including:

​

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

• Trauma-Informed Care

• Mindfulness practices

• Strengths-Based approaches

• Systems Perspective

​​

These frameworks allow me to tailor our work to your individual needs, supporting you in building insight, developing new tools, and creating a more fulfilling life. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward healing.​
