I work with polycules, couples, and individuals who want to communicate better and feel heard. My guiding lights are communication, connection, and sex positivity. Relationships with ourselves and others are the lifeblood of humanity. And happiness. With trust and empathy, I help people communicate their needs in new and effective ways, paving the way to a more solid and trusting relationship.
I am currently a PhD student in the Counseling Studies program at the University of Edinburgh (by distance). My work is an extension of my Master’s thesis, A Narrative Inquiry of a Polycule. This is a qualitative study into the lived experience of being polyamorous. Geeky research or super fun? Why not both?!
My approach to therapy is integrative, meaning I use multiple schools of thought based on what makes the best for the client. Sometimes we’ll talk about what you want the story of your life to be. We might also talk about getting more in touch with your emotions to chart your path forward. You are the expert on your life and I can help you get where you want to go.
I hold a Master’s in Communication from the University of Oklahoma and a Master’s in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Colorado. Learn more at https://llhayes.com/.
