Get to know us

I started this company as a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to get affirming therapy, a need I realized when I found out lesbian or gay identifying counselors were few and far between back in 2015 even in a big city like Houston. In graduate school, I had worked with local college and high school LGBTQ student organizations and the cause became even more dear to my heart. As a member of the community, I have helped many through their experiences with questioning sexuality, coming out, dealing with acceptance, as well as struggling with abandonment issues, family conflict, loneliness, relationships, spirituality and developing a secure sense of identity. I also hope to be of help to the parents and families of individuals who are coming out or have concerns about sexual orientation or gender issues. Other issues that I specialize in include:

• developing a sense of identity

• questioning role in family/ world

• attempting to become independent

• learning to express themselves as individuals

• self-esteem, self-worth

• dealing with difficult people/ relationships

• fears about future

• test / performance anxiety

• confusion or absence of direction for their lives

• career changes

• job loss / new career

• breakup / divorce

• grief of a loved one

• building confidence

Navigating transformational journeys

Kristy Hayes, MA, LPC, CPC

Counselor, Owner, Author

Pronouns: she/her

I took a rather indirect and adventurously twisted route to reach a few of my life and career goals. I grew up in southwest Louisiana, a Cajun girl with big dreams and a bad case of wanderlust. I lived a few other places while working fun jobs but then made my home in Houston for a while. I am a graduate of University of Houston with a B.A. in Psychology. Then I earned my M.A in Counseling in Kentucky at Morehead State University.

Because of my choices, consequences and situations, I have learned many things along the way and I am excited to have the opportunity to pass on what I learned. I have been running my own private practice since May 2016 and before then I had a mix of wonderful experiences that you can read about on my LinkedIn profile, if you're curious, going back in this field to 2009.

​I enjoy using creativity and technology in therapy whenever possible because I have seen it make a greater impact when changes are visible, memorable and practical. I believe it is my life's work to be helpful to those who are seeking their "right fit" place in this life and need some help navigating their path to a fulfilling, connected and peaceful life. 

I enjoy spending time creating, learning new things and exploring what the world has to offer whether through technology or actual adventures. I also spend a good deal of time plotting my own course across the literal and metaphorical map of life. In 2023, I moved to Las Vegas and extended my practice to include Nevada and soon to include Washington state.

I enjoy writing fiction, painting, photography, traveling, skiing, kayaking, museums, live music, and festivals.  I live in Las Vegas with my partner and our three cats, Tolley, Snowy & Matisse.

Long story, short.
