Jasmine Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with seven years of clinical experience. She earned her counseling degree from St. John’s University, where she developed skills to work with individuals, couples, families, and groups.

She has supported people managing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, anger management, career difficulties, depression, and coping with life changes. Jasmine also offers coaching to help clients move toward their goals.

Her therapeutic approach centers on identifying a client’s needs and clarifying their values. She helps people translate those values into daily virtues – concrete behaviors that bring life and personality into alignment – while identifying obstacles that interfere with wellbeing and progress.

Jasmine describes her style as client-centered and nondirective, while remaining active in guiding clients toward their goals. She respects when clients steer a session, yet consistently works to ensure each meeting leaves the person with practical tools and a clear takeaway to use between sessions. When challenges are complex or unclear, she remains persistent in seeking insight and solutions and resumes work from the point it was last left off.

Her practice integrates acceptance and commitment therapy to explore values and build a values-driven life, together with cognitive-behavioral techniques to support healthy thought patterns and behaviors. By combining these approaches, Jasmine aims to help clients create a lifestyle that supports mental wellbeing. She is licensed to practice as a professional counselor in New Jersey (license number 37PC00741100) and looks forward to working with new clients.
