Amanda Hayes

My communication style

I communicate in a warm, honest, and down-to-earth way. I’ll listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, offer feedback, and gently challenge you when it may be helpful. Therapy with me is collaborative and real, with space for hard conversations, quiet moments, and yes, even some humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist started with more than professional training. After losing both of my parents within three years while becoming a new mom and finding my footing in adulthood, I experienced how deeply loss can change you. I became a therapist because I wanted to offer others the kind of support I had needed: a place to feel truly see

My goals for you

We’ll work together to set goals that feel meaningful and realistic for your life. We’ll regularly check in on what’s helping, what feels stuck, and what may need to change. Progress isn’t about doing therapy “perfectly.”

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about what’s been going on, what you’d like support with, and what you hope might feel different as a result of our work together.
