Misty Hayes
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Misty
I’m a licensed therapist in Missouri with extensive experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, specializing in depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and trauma recovery.
My approach is grounded in helping you build self-compassion, improve communication, and navigate feelings of isolation, shame, and guilt. I’m particularly skilled at supporting clients working through panic disorder, social anxiety, control patterns, and questions about life purpose and meaning. I also specialize in trauma and abuse recovery, helping clients move toward healing and forgiveness at their own pace.
I believe in creating a straightforward, respectful therapeutic space where you feel genuinely heard and supported. My style is direct and practical—I meet you where you are without judgment, and I’m committed to walking alongside you as you work toward meaningful change and greater peace in your life.
If you’re ready to take that first step, I’m honored to support your journey.
