Oonagh
Hayes
MA, EdM, LMHC
Clinical Supervisor
Knowledgeable and consistent in her approach while making me feel at ease. She empowers me to make my own decisions to improve my mental health without judgement. I couldn’t appreciate her more.
Oonagh is always a very witty and enjoyable person to talk to, which made the entire experience from the beginning that much easier with opening up to her and therapy, as this is my first experience.
She has an excellent ability to nurture but also give me the advice that I need to hear to make better emotional choices in my day to day life. She holds me accountable, but does it with a tenderness that's needed.
Oonagh has always had a passion for working with people. Starting out as a journalist, working primarily in the corporate and then the education sector, she later gained a Bachelor of Science in Professional Social Work, which led to an incredibly rewarding 10-year career in child welfare and fostering in London, UK.
Keen to further develop her therapeutic skills, Oonagh moved to New York and graduated with a Master of Arts and Master of Education in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University. She also holds the Advanced Certificate in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) from The Albert Ellis Institute.
Oonagh is a member of the American Counseling Association. Oonagh has experience in working with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, shame, relationship issues, attachment and identity difficulties and those who have experienced significant trauma.
