Dr. Bita Sarah Haynes, M.S., Ph.D.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. If you’re ready to unlock your strengths, elevate your personal and professional life, and achieve sustainable growth, I’m here to guide you. I specialize in helping individuals optimize their well-being while navigating hidden disabilities, neurodivergence, and trauma. With over two decades of experience working with youth and adults, I collaborate with you to foster clarity, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies so you can thrive—not just survive. As a licensed Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist since 2000, I bring specialized, APA-approved training in child and adolescent psychology, parenting, trauma-informed care, culturally responsive therapy, health psychology, and lifespan development. My expertise bridges both personal and professional realms, allowing me to support individuals, couples, and families while also coaching high-achieving professionals through career transitions, leadership challenges, and work-life integration. Beyond traditional therapy, I am an executive coach trusted by top Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, Wall Street executives, tech investors, and founders who seek clarity, resilience, and peak performance. I help high-performers navigate the complexities of leadership, career pivots, burnout prevention, and major life transitions—whether it’s engagement, marriage, parenthood, menopause, or rebalancing work and personal fulfillment. By aligning personal growth with professional goals, I empower clients to succeed holistically. My approach integrates evidence-based methodologies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), positive psychology, humanistic and family systems approaches, and cross-cultural counseling. I also provide pre-marital counseling, parenting support, and conflict resolution strategies to help clients navigate depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, career stress, and relationship challenges. At the intersection of psychology, leadership, and well-being, I help individuals and professionals alike develop the mental clarity, emotional resilience, and strategic mindset needed to thrive. Whether you’re looking to heal, grow, or excel, I provide a safe, empowering space to help you create meaningful and lasting change.
