Hello there, my name is Mr. Sergio Hayes and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been working in the mental health field for almost 15 years now, and I have held jobs in every area within the field that you can think of. My approach to therapy has been constant throughout the years, and it is to be a solution-focused therapist. This means that I do not communicate or interact with clients in the traditional way that most therapists do. I like to help my clients figure out frameworks and systems to address their problems even after they are done with treatment, and not simply coddle and provide superficial support with circumstantial issues. I am very methodical, which means that I stick to best practices and proven methods that provide tangible results when providing my expertise. I am trained in a variety of specialized treatment approaches, but the main ones that I use on this platform, due to the clientele and the referrals I mostly receive, are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), MRT (Moral Reconation Therapy), and Reality Therapy. I also specialize in couples therapy, mainly applying Behavioral Couple's Therapy as well as DBT for communication issues when treating couples. As a Latino & Hispanic professional, I am fortunate to be a natural Spanish speaker, which allows me to also provide therapy in Spanish, and with no change to how it would be provided in any other language as well. I look forward to working with you and helping you in any way I can, have a great day, and live well.
Clinical approaches: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy

Sergio has been a wonderful addition to my life, he helped me cope and come out of some of the darkest moments in my life. I am so glad I found him and he helped me overcome my depressive thoughts, my anxiety and my PTSD. Doing EMDR with him was a breeze, it took some time some energy and effort but the results are outstanding. I feel like a brand new man, able to handle what life is going to throw at me. Hands down best therapist ever.
