Katie Hummel Hayes

Parenting a teen or young adult often brings challenges and questions you never expected. If you're feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or just in need of guidance, you're not alone — and you don’t have to navigate this on your own. I’m here to walk alongside you and your child, offering support, clarity, and a path forward. Whether you're facing anxiety, identity exploration, school pressures, or difficult behaviors, there is a way through. Even in the toughest moments, healing, growth, and deeper connection are absolutely possible.

​

I specialize in working with teens and young adults navigating life transitions, emotional struggles, and addictive or high-risk behaviors. With a foundation in clinical mental health counseling, additional training in addiction, and over 15 years of experience as a nurse, I bring both compassion and expertise to this work. My approach helps clients discover who they are and what they’re capable of achieving.

​

Taking the first step into counseling can be the hardest part — but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, offer a safe, non-judgmental space, and walk with you every step of the way. I believe in your strength and resilience. And if I’m not the right fit, I’ll make sure you’re connected with someone who is. You deserve to feel better — and I’m here to help you get there.
