Alyssa Hayes is a licensed professional counselor who offers a unique and creative approach to processing life's challenges. She recognizes that many individuals struggle to find the right words for their feelings, leading to a disconnect in traditional therapy. Through expressive arts and a transformative therapeutic experience, Alyssa helps both teens and adults achieve their goals. With extensive experience working with those who have histories of trauma, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, work burnout, LGBTQ+ identities, and addiction, Alyssa is dedicated to meeting her clients' needs in a person-centered and non-judgmental atmosphere. As an artist-therapist, she encourages exploration of both traditional and unconventional art processes, enabling clients to expand their perception of art making while reaching therapeutic goals. Additionally, Alyssa serves as an LPC supervisor, providing creative supervision tailored to emerging therapists. She emphasizes that the level of artistic skill or knowledge is not a barrier; rather, her priority is to build a strong therapeutic relationship rooted in trust and to create a safe environment for self-expression.
