Hi, I am Dr. Hayes, a Vanderbilt University-trained doctor of nursing practice, specializes in helping women (18+) navigate anxiety, life transitions, hormone changes, mood issues, and sleep challenges. With a passion for supporting professionals, healthcare workers, first responders, and mothers, I provide tailored care to empower women to thrive in all aspects of life.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected in your relationships, or worried about your child or family? Maybe you’ve been carrying stress, anxiety, grief, conflict, or painful life changes for so long that you barely recognize yourself anymore. You may have spent years trying to stay strong for everyone else while quietly struggling on your own. If so, you are not alone.
I offer a warm, compassionate, and supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through without fear of judgment. With nearly 60 years of professional experience working with individuals, couples and families, I understand how deeply emotional pain, relationship struggles, family stress, loss, and life transitions can affect people.
I have extensive experience working with at-risk adolescents and young adults facing challenges such as self-harming behaviors, trauma, addictions, and family conflict.
I have worked successfully with adults navigating substance use concerns, chronic pain and other health difficulties, caregiver burnout, grief, various forms of loss, and major life transitions.
In addition, I work with couples facing communication difficulties, separation, infidelity, divorce and other relationship challenges, as well as families dealing with parenting stress, illness, addictions, cultural adaptation, and significant life changes. I am also able to support families with young children who are experiencing developmental difficulties, health challenges, or acting-out behaviors and I provide pre-marital counseling for couples who are about to tie the knot. Throughout our work together, I strive to help clients build greater self-awareness, strengthen relationships, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward a greater sense of balance, connection, and emotional well-being.
I earned both my Bachelor of Science in Social Work and Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. My background includes experience in university disability services as well as several years working closely with children and families in foster and adoptive care. Since transitioning into outpatient therapy, I’ve focused on providing thoughtful, accessible mental health care that meets clients where they are.
I work with children and adolescents (ages 11+), adults, couples, and families navigating concerns such as ADHD, behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family stress. My experience in foster and adoptive care gives me a strong foundation in attachment, identity, and family systems, allowing me to support both individuals and families in meaningful ways.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Cincinnati, OH
Finding OCD therapists in Cincinnati starts with looking for the right training, not just the right specialty label. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, avoidance, reassurance-seeking, or related anxiety, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach. Bios that mention ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or OCD-focused experience can help you identify a stronger clinical fit.
Cincinnati has a steady network of therapists, with options across local offices and virtual appointments. For some people, an in-person therapist near home, work, or campus is the best fit. Others may find that virtual sessions expand access to therapists with more specific OCD experience. As you compare therapists in Cincinnati, OH, look beyond whether OCD appears in a profile. Check whether the therapist describes direct ERP training, current appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A bio can also show how the therapist structures sessions and communicates about care.
Therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to confirm what coverage is available for your specific plan before booking. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then browse OCD therapists in Cincinnati, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
