Christine Hayes, LCSW-A, LCAS-A

 If you’re exhausted from starting over, you’re not alone. I work with adults at all stages of recovery, including early recovery, relapse, and long-term sobriety. I support individuals living with substance use disorders, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and shame. As a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS), I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where we slow down, make sense of patterns, and build stability together. 

 Alongside my clinical training, I bring 17 years of personal recovery and lived experience, which deepens my respect for how complex and human this journey can be. 

 I specialize in trauma-informed addiction therapy for adults at all stages of recovery. I use a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach to help clients navigate substance use, relapse, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and shame while building practical tools for emotional safety, stability, and sustainable change.

Reaching out can feel hard, especially if you’ve been carrying this alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin creating safety at your own pace. When you’re ready, I would be honored to support you as you move toward healing and stability.
