Luke Hayslip

Luke Hayslip

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I'm Luke. I work with burned-out professionals, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ folx, and people navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges — including healthcare workers and educators who spend their days caring for others but rarely turn that care inward. I use a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach and bring my own lived experience as a queer and neurodivergent person to the work. I'm well-versed in non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink dynamics, and welcome clients who don't fit the mold of traditional therapy. I own and operate Radiant Waves Counseling and am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Texas.

Therapist

Are you seeking a deeper sense of satisfaction in your life? Do conflicted feelings often stand in the way of your happiness? With many years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and cultivating greater well-being.

A significant aspect of my practice involves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a specialty that focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors. I believe in providing practical solutions that can be readily applied to the challenges of everyday life, empowering you to make tangible progress.

My approach centers on building upon your inherent strengths while exploring new perspectives on existing challenges. Having earned my degree from the esteemed Wurzweiler School of Social Work, I bring a depth of knowledge and a compassionate perspective to my practice. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their struggles and develop effective strategies for lasting positive change.

Together, we can make space for what is difficult and build a path toward steadiness, clarity, and meaningful change, at a pace that feels right for you. You do not need to have answers before reaching out; we can begin where you are.
