Kristy Hayes, MA

Kristy Hayes, MA

Psychotherapist
NV
Hi there, I'm Kristy! Hello potential client! My name is Kristy Hayes, and I'm a licensed clinical counselor in Nevada. I hold a Master's in Counseling from Morehead State University. I use a person-centered approach and an eclectic set of tools from multiple theories to create a treatment plan tailored to each client. I specialize in affirmative care for LGBTQ+ teens and adults seeking therapy. My approach My therapy centers on creating a safe, affirming, and inclusive space where LGBTQ+ clients can explore their identities and challenges without judgment. Rooted in person-centered therapy, I emphasize empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard while incorporating affirmative therapy to celebrate diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. I draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thoughts, narrative therapy to help clients reframe their stories with empowerment, and mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation and self-awareness. I also integrate intersectionality to understand how overlapping identities impact mental health. My approach prioritizes collaboration, resilience-building, and honoring each client's unique journey, ensuring they feel seen, understood, and supported. My focus I typically work with adult women, with more than half being LGBTQ+ adults and teens, as well as those navigating unconventional relationships. My communication style Working with me is like having a caring, knowledgeable peer who genuinely listens and understands. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can share openly, knowing I am fully invested in their well-being. With empathy and a down-to-earth approach, I provide guidance, insights, and practical tools to help clients navigate challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.
