Message to clients

Hi, I am Marisa Hayes, Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (MHC-A) and I work at Healing Rhode Clinical Services, LLC. Thank you for taking the time to read my page and get to know a little about my approach to counseling. I walk with my clients as they deepen their understanding of themselves and process areas of their lives that have caused deep pain. My goal is to help my clients develop evidence-based coping skills and processing techniques to come to a fuller understanding of how their past experiences and world views impact their relationships with loved ones. I believe that one must first develop a positive relationship with themselves to create a strong and powerful relationship with others. Together, we can work in a safe and trauma-informed therapeutic approach to have a more fulfilled relationship with yourself and others.

At Healing Rhode Clinical Services, LLC, we treat a variety of disorders with a specialty on trauma recovery, grief counseling, family counseling, couple counseling, as well as finding full fulfillment and peace from depression and anxiety. With my practice, you not only get the expertise of myself but the entire team as we collaborate together to ensure we are providing the most effective care that is evidence based. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing how we can help you on your bath to healing.
