Donna Hayes, LICSW
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Massachusetts and am committed to fostering personal well-being among my clients.
My professional path has been diverse, ranging from supporting teens and young adults grappling with addiction to serving in behavioral schools and providing therapy in non-profit organizations. It was through these varied experiences that I discovered that my true passion lies in working with adults of all ages. I specialize in treating co-occurring disorders, mood disorders, and promoting lifestyles of balanced nutrition and movement. I am certified in Nutirtion and Mental Health and am dedicated to providing comprehensive care that addresses both mind and body.
My journey began in 2010 upon earning my Master’s in Social Work at the University of Maryland Baltimore School of Social Work. My therapeutic approach is rooted in creating an empowering and non-judgmental environment, using evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, integrative medicine concepts, mindfulness, and dialectical behavioral therapy.
I work to tailor interventions to meet the unique needs of each individual, you are included in every step of the process. I strive to establish a strong therapeutic connection and a safe space where clients can feel supported and understood as they navigate their journey toward a more fulfilling life.
