My name is Nicole Hayes, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the Bay Area, California, and working with clients across the state via Telehealth. I work with a broad range of individuals from children to adults and specialize in anxiety, autism, depression, impulse control disorders, PTSD, and relationship issues, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. My approach is client-centered, focusing on transformative conversations through a person-centered and humanistic lens. I help clients navigate and process feelings of depression, anxiety, complex grief, trauma, relationship issues, and the overwhelming stressors of daily life. I utilize a macro/micro framework while incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). During a first session, a client can anticipate a session solely focused on building a foundation for the therapeutic relationship by engaging in light, open-ended conversation to build rapport. The client will have an opportunity to ask questions about the therapy process and what to expect in future sessions.
