About

Hi there, I'm Sergio! Hello there! I'm Sergio Hayes, a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience in working with trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and personality disorders. As a solution-focused counselor, I believe in exploring underlying causes and recognizing the value of support networks through a systems approach. This approach is highly effective in addressing day-to-day difficulties and pursuing long-term goals. My approach My approach to providing therapy is deeply rooted in my multicultural background and extensive experience. With a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and a Professional Counselor license, my journey began with valuable insights gained from working in the court system, where I recognized the crucial role of mental health services for individuals facing diverse challenges. My theoretical approaches draw from a rich Multiracial Latino/Hispanic heritage, emphasizing a multicultural perspective. In my role as a Program Manager in a Mental Health Court program, I specialized in trauma and family counseling, particularly focusing on adolescents who had experienced trauma. This experience, coupled with my work with Severely Persistent Mental Illnesses (SPMI) and behavioral issues within specialized court programs, has shaped my approach. Extending my expertise to private settings, I've served a diverse clientele and am trained in EMDR for trauma counseling. Additionally, I am certified as an MRT provider for substance abuse-related concerns. As a proud Latino/Hispanic/Bilingual mental health professional, I prioritize understanding unique needs, crafting personalized action plans, and employing a holistic perspective in therapy. My focus I specialize in working with a diverse range of clients, drawing upon extensive training in various counseling approaches. My focus extends to trauma counseling, where I employ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help individuals overcome unresolved trauma.
