Welcome! I'm Kamisha Hayes, LCSW. I am a therapist specializing in grief (traditional and disenfranchised).
I am a licensed professional counselor focused on life enrichment and healthy relationships. I have 19 years of professional work experience in the mental health field. I am empathetic in my approach and believe that when provided with the appropriate knowledge and support, individuals are able to create the life they desire. Modalities utilized: Solution-Focused Brief (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), and Mindfulness-Based (MBCT).
I work with each client as a team effort. Each person I see has their own story and unique perspective on that story, and I believe that within that story are the seeds of healing. My approach is to see you as a whole person who is struggling with something, whether it is anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance abuse, communication, parenting, trauma, etc. Most often, it is how we perceive a situation or a struggle that shapes how we deal with it or respond to it. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, I hope I can help you with whatever your struggle may be, and help you rewrite your story. My favorite book of all time is Viktor Frankl's *Man's Search for Meaning*. One of the many wonderful things he says in that book is, "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."
As a wife or mom, you’re constantly spinning plates – and dropping at least one every day. Your time is consumed by schedules, appointments, messes, and managing everyone else’s needs, while your own stress and emotions go unaddressed. The mental load never lets up: remembering everything, being needed by everyone, and still feeling like it’s never enough. You’ve tried pushing through, making lists, telling yourself this is just a season, but the exhaustion always returns. A quiet fear sets in that this is simply who you are now: a woman with no space left for herself. What you want is steadiness, clarity, and room to breathe again. I work with overwhelmed mothers to uncover what’s actually draining their energy and why willpower alone keeps failing. Together, we identify hidden stressors, restore structure that supports your real life, and rebuild connection to your needs and identity. The focus is practical, relational, and designed to reduce overload, not add more to your plate. As responsibility becomes more sustainable, days feel calmer and more intentional. You respond instead of react, set boundaries without guilt, and show up with more presence in your relationships. Mornings feel grounded instead of rushed, and life opens up beyond constant caretaking. It’s time to rediscover yourself. Reach out today for a free consultation.
Many of the people I work with look “fine” from the outside. They are capable, responsible, and committed to their families, work, and communities. Yet internally, they may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next. Some are navigating relationship struggles, career stress, or major life transitions. Others simply feel like something is missing and want clarity about how to move forward in a healthier, more intentional way. You may not be in crisis—but you know something needs attention. My approach to counseling is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in helping you understand the patterns that shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Together, we identify the stressors and expectations you’re carrying, clarify what matters most to you, and develop tools that support emotional health, communication, and sustainable growth. I often work with high-functioning individuals and couples who are navigating stress, relationship challenges, burnout, or major life transitions. Therapy is not about fixing what’s broken—it’s about strengthening what matters and building a life that feels aligned with your values. As our work progresses, clients often experience greater clarity, improved relationships, and increased confidence in their decisions. Instead of reacting to stress or feeling stuck in old patterns, you learn how to respond intentionally and move forward with purpose. If you’re ready to gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want, I’d be honored to support you in that Pursuit.

On the outside, your life looks fine – you show up and get things done. But inside, your days feel flat and heavy. Despite your capability, you feel disconnected. You move through work, relationships, and responsibilities on autopilot, carrying an undercurrent of tension you can’t quite name. You’ve tried pushing through and staying busy – anything to think or numb your way back into life. It helps briefly, but the emptiness returns. Somewhere deep down is the fear that this is just who you are now – that this is just a way of life now, and you can’t work your way out of it. What you want is to feel present and fully alive again. I work with people who adapted early to the world by staying composed, self-sufficient, and emotionally contained. Using attachment-informed and body-aware therapy, we identify the patterns that once protected you and gently expand your capacity to feel without becoming overwhelmed. This work helps you function while reconnecting with your inner experience. Over time, life feels more integrated and real. You stay competent without disappearing, notice stress instead of overriding it, and respond with choice rather than old survival habits. Relationships feel more authentic as you become grounded in your own life. You don’t have to unravel to reconnect with your emotions. Call now for a free consultation.
Welcome, as it takes courage for us to ask for help from others and seek therapy. I am here to tell you that it is okay to ask for help and seeking a professional therapist is the first step in your journey. Life is hard at times, with a multitude of life transitions, from graduating from high school to finishing college, starting a new job, or having feelings of being stuck either personally andor professionally. Life is not an easy road to travel, but as we travel through different life challenges, sometimes we need help from others and it’s okay to seek help. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is very passionate about the mental health field and each client I have had the pleasure of working with. I am very respectful of everyone’s journey and believe respect, compassion, and sensitivity are very important in building and maintaining a healthy therapeutic relationship. I have experience working with clients who have struggled with anxiety, depression, stress and major life transitions, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues, ADHD symptoms, mood disorders, parent-child relationship issues, behavioral problems, parenting techniques, and griefloss. My therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, TF-CBT, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I utilize different therapeutic techniques to assist my clients, which ensures each client has a personalized treatment plan. When working with my clients, I like to build a strong therapeutic rapport to gather a clear understanding of the client’s needs, goals they want to work on andor issues they want to address in therapy, barriers to progression in therapy, and objectives to reach their therapeutic goals. My philosophy in working with each client is that I am here to help you. I hope to work with you, helping you understand where you are in the process of change, motivating you to move towards the next stage, assisting you throughout the therapeutic process, and we move at your pace. The client’s progression in the therapeutic process is to understand and acknowledge that, to a large degree, a successful treatment outcome depends on the amount of energy and effort the client makes. I will always have an open and honest line of communication with clients and be empathetic and very respectful. I look forward to working with you!
