Donna Hayes, LICSW

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Massachusetts, 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 therapeutic style is collaborative, empowering, and non-judgmental. I tailor each session to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and positive psychology.

Above all, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, supported, and encouraged, every step of the way.
