Marcella Hayes

I am a military veteran who, after 20 years in the military community chose a second career in counseling. With over 12 plus years as a therapist in community counseling and grief agencies in San Antonio, I've evolved into roles such as a certified trauma therapist for survivors of sexual and physical abuse, a grief subject matter expert and eventually a Chief Program Officer of a non profit counseling agency. Alongside my professional growth, I navigated my own personal challenges, including my own traumatic grief, divorce, managing blended family conflicts, overcoming abuse, workplace stress conflicts and compassion fatigue. Throughout my career, I grateful to have earned the respect from colleagues for my dedication to continuous development, embracing the latest evidence-based practices, and leading with our team with a servant and democratic leadership style focused on emotional intelligence promoting both mental and physical well-being for all team members. Drawing on my extensive personal and professional experience, I am here to help you navigate your own challenges. I provide support and direct guidance grounded in evidence-based and solution-focused practices tailored to help you move forward and become the best version of yourself.
