Donna Hayes, LICSW

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker working with clients in Massachusetts and Maryland, dedicated to supporting adults in cultivating personal well-being and leading more fulfilling lives.

Since earning my Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, in 2010, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings, including behavioral health schools, nonprofits, and programs supporting teens and young adults navigating addiction. These diverse experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with and help my clients in meaningful ways.

I specialize in treating co-occurring and mood disorders, with an approach that integrates both mental and physical wellness. As someone certified in Nutrition and Mental Health, I believe balanced nutrition and movement are key components of emotional well-being.

My approach blends evidence-based therapies with a warm, collaborative style to help you build practical coping skills, increase self-awareness, and strengthen resilience. Sessions are tailored to your values, pace, and goals, whether you’re seeking short-term symptom relief or deeper, long-term growth. I’m committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, uncover strengths, and move toward greater balance and wellbeing.
