Getting to know Martia Hayes

Hi there, I'm Martia! My name is Martia Hayes, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Virginia with over 15 years of experience providing care for children, adolescents, and adults. I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. My main areas of focus are behavioral challenges, anxiety, mood disorders, and stress. My approach I draw from therapeutic approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These help me tailor treatment to my clients' unique challenges and needs. My focus I work best with individuals struggling to understand the world around them—within the home, relationships, parenting, phase-of-life adjustment, or prolonged exposure to everyday stressful events and unanticipated circumstances. My communication style I strive to approach clients’ troubles through empathy and understanding from their point of experience. I believe the best communication style in my profession is to first LISTEN with compassion and without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because of my passion for helping others through life. Through personal adversities, I have accepted that life brings many challenges that can be difficult to navigate alone. We all need someone to do life with—someone who helps us be vigilant and take actionable steps to rebuild a solid foundation to weather storms until we see clear skies. Besides supportive relationships with friends and family, I became a therapist to learn tools and gain knowledge to help others uncover behaviors and perspectives for better insight into daily living. My goals for you I approach goal setting by creating a comfortable and optimistic environment where therapy is collaborative, supportive, non-judgmental, safe, and accessible.
