Getting to know Megan Hayes
Taking the first steps to fully integrate the body, mind, and spirit has become a revolutionary act in our society. Many of us were not taught how to listen to our inner guiding voice, or, at worst, were taught to actively ignore it. My role as your therapist is to help you recognize that voice and nurture a wholehearted bond with it.
The therapeutic journey to make oneself whole can seem daunting to someone just taking their first steps. Part of this work is building trust with their therapist—to understand that they’re safe, connected, and able to heal old wounds; and to know that a safe space is held. This role is the most important.
Working together will not be one size fits all but tailored to the individual and their needs. I’m not here to be the expert in your life but to create a partnership with you, helping you determine your goals and how to achieve them.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Touro University, and my practice has been committed to using mindfulness, meditation, and compassion to uncover the root causes of anxiety, trauma, and addictive triggers. I practice various holistic modalities to enhance the therapeutic relationship, helping gain deeper insight into your life and supplement your healing journey.

I had the privilege of working with Megan for a little over a year. I've been in therapy for about 6 years now, and I can say without a sliver of doubt that she's the best therapist I've ever had. I had never had a therapist do such great work to understand me, and do such a good job at it as well. She constantly pushed me and asked me the uncomfortable but necessary questions when she saw fit, and I grew and healed so much faster that way. I now feel equipped with an incredible therapeutic tool box that will help me get through life's challenges on my own, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. You will absolutely not regret working with this funny, down-to-earth, intelligent woman. 1000/10.

My first interaction with Megan was great. She was kind and caring. She listened to my concerns and shared that I will be making some goals for myself.

I initially thought therapy was going to be a place to vent, I'd get it all out, then move on. My journey has brought me to a place where I'm able to let go of what I can't control. And what I can control, do so in a way that my ego shines more than enflame.
I connected with Megan through humor and her candor. She is able to see me through my own eyes and helped me zhuzh myself into a better person.

Over the past year, working with Megan has truly transformed my life. I’ve reached levels of happiness, self-acceptance, and inner peace that I never thought were possible. Megan supported me in working through deeply rooted trauma, PTSD, self-esteem challenges, and anxiety. Her warm, thoughtful and "real" presence combined with her practical, grounded approach to healing helped me move through pain and overcome the emotional barriers that were holding me back.
As a gay man, I carried a heavy sense of shame and insecurity around my identity. With Megan’s support, I was able to break through those patterns and begin to accept and embrace myself more fully, not just in my personal life and relationships, but in how I show up at work and in the world. I’m endlessly grateful for the growth I’ve experienced through our work together.
If you’re seeking compassionate, skilled, and deeply effective support, I can’t recommend Megan enough.

Megan is supportive, insightful and caring. She helped me through several tough moments in my personal life and she was always empathic, never judgemental. She has provided me with coping "tools" that l use daily.

Working with Megan I felt safe. She created a nonjudgemental space for me to explore what brought me to therapy in the first place. She helped me find solutions that worked for me.

I was very unsure about talking to someone about my feelings. I grew up in a home where feelings were never discussed. Ms. Hayes made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She listened to what I had to say and gave me a new way to look at what I was feeling. I felt I made a major breakthrough and have tools to help me move forward.
