LPC, 20 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Virginia. I received my Masters from Hampton University and have been practicing for over 15 years. I work all age groups who are struggling with mood, life transitions, and family conflicts. I strive to bring healing by providing a comfortable and optimistic environment where therapy is collaborative, supportive, non-judgmental, safe, and accessible.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I've developed a style where I seek to relate to clients experiences through the lens of empathy.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults seeking symptom relief from life challenges.
Martia Hayes offers therapy covered by Kaiser Permanente - Medicaid and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Virginia.
I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, to bring healing.
