Mary Hayes, MA

Mary is passionate about working with married and unmarried couples in overcoming unhealthy relationship challenges. Her approach is to walk along side couples as they navigate through their problems and teach skills that enable them to obtain a more healthy relationship. Mary’s training and experience includes helping couples work through infidelity, infertility, rebuilding trust, strengthening and developing communication, and helping individuals through anxiety, depression and grief. She strongly believes that marriage is more than a commitment as it is a covenant. She and her husband have been married over 40 years.

Mary’s clinical internship was faith-based where she served clients from within the church as well as those in the surrounding community. Her counseling approach is Eclectic which includes the use of Gottman techniques, Faith-Integration, Hope-Focused techniques, Bowenian, Solution Focused and Emotionally Focused therapies. She believes that the application of faith in everyday life is essential and key within counseling for healing and growth for those who desire this integration. Mary is in the process of obtaining her SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) certification along with getting credentialed as a licensed marriage and family therapist in Pennsylvania.
