Sergio Hayes
I am a licensed professional counselor with nearly fifteen years of experience in the mental health field. My approach to therapy has remained constant throughout my career: I am a solution-focused therapist. I do not communicate or interact with clients in the traditional manner. Instead, I help clients develop frameworks and systems to address their problems even after they have completed treatment, rather than merely providing superficial support. I am very methodical, strictly adhering to best practices and proven methods that produce tangible results. I am trained in various specialized treatment approaches, the primary ones being EMDR, MRT, and Reality Therapy. I also specialize in couples therapy, primarily employing Behavioral Couple's Therapy and DBT for communication issues. As a Latino and Hispanic professional, I am fortunate to be a native Spanish speaker, which enables me to provide therapy in Spanish without altering the quality of the care. I look forward to working with you and assisting you in any way I can.
