Sage Counseling and Consulting Group, PLLC is committed to mental wellness through psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and community mental health advocacy. As we transition from the person that we are to the person that we are created to be, we often experience a great deal of frustration. We can feel as if we are “stuck” or “running in place” with no idea of how to move forward. This may look differently for everyone — from dealing with past hurts to uncovering your true identity or full potential in a world that is constantly changing. But, we are here to tell you that growth IS possible and it CAN HAPPEN for you... And I am here to help! My name is Jay Hayes and I am a Licensed Clinician Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I specialize in helping you to get “unstuck” by helping you think outside of the box. As a therapist, I collaborate with you to help you overcome what hinders you from living a rich & fulfilling life. I develop our relationship by creating a safe, accepting environment. I work with you to develop a plan on what change. My role is to neither judge nor criticize you. I am here to ask questions, provide insight, challenge & hold you accountable. My ultimate goal is to help you move closer to realizing your full potential. Now, I know this may be new for you, but it is perfectly okay to ask for help. Take the first step — you are not alone!
