Getting to know David Hayes

I am a compassionate witness who recognizes the amazing potential in ourselves to grow, heal, learn, adjust, and adapt in this one life we have, in which there are so many inherent hardships, complexities, and trauma. I believe that therapy is a sacred space shared between client and therapist that allows an experience of sharing, of strength, perspective, information, truth, and advocacy. Therapy is a mechanism that allows a space of expression, safety, release, refuge, as well as the development of tools, skills, and insights that allow people to have renewed confidence and effectiveness in approaching change to achieve better levels of health in emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Therapy improves life comfort and satisfaction. My approach I allow some measure of organic process of connection, relation, and communication with a client, and respectfully guide the process in a way that elicits information related to strengths, natural supports, goals, identified issues/problems, orientation, and experience with the therapy process. I work to educate and explore elements of Psychoeducation to develop a clear understanding and shared view of experience with identification of symptoms, disorders, and impairments. I work to elicit and identify motivation, strengths, and skills that can be applied to make desired changes in life, mental health. Over time, I rely on and reference known information, shared in therapy sessions, that allows for dynamic therapeutic interaction that draws on Narrative experiences in life, personal strengths, and family strengths to bring balance to self-image and assessment of person and ability. I have respect and sensitivity for trauma experiences and work to appropriately frame issues and goals that have a relational context to trauma experiences. I am a strong believer in the ability of people to recover, to learn, and to grow in their lives. I work to support a person's rights, self-identification, and self-esteem.
