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 beginning my journey in 2010 with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore School of Social Work, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of settings—from behavioral schools and nonprofits to programs supporting teens and young adults navigating addiction. These diverse experiences helped me discover my true passion: working with adults of all ages.

I specialize in treating co-occurring and mood disorders and take a holistic approach that incorporates both mental and physical wellness. I hold a certification in Nutrition and Mental Health and believe that balanced nutrition and movement are vital components of emotional health.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, empowering, and non-judgmental. I tailor each intervention to meet your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, positive psychology, and integrative medicine concepts.

Above all, I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly seen and supported—every step of the way.
