Driven to help others heal and reclaim their lives, Kandy Hayes, LPC-R (Resident in Counseling), brings over 13 years of experience supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. A southern Virginia native, she holds degrees in Human Services, Psychology, and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Pursuing licensure in Virginia and Washington, Kandy combines extensive training in trauma-informed care and victim advocacy with a compassionate, client-centered approach, empowering individuals to build resilience, rediscover their strength, and move toward lasting healing and growth.
In Kandy’s sessions, clients can expect a safe, supportive space where they can be themselves without judgment. She works collaboratively to explore experiences, uncover patterns, and build meaningful insight. Kandy provides practical tools to help manage stress, emotions, and life’s challenges. Her goal is for each client to leave sessions feeling lighter.
