About ASSOCIATE therapist

Hi, I'm Maegan

I'm Maegan Hayes, an associate therapist at Pure Intention Services. As a licensed social worker (LSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, I am committed to providing neurodiversity-affirming care for adults dealing with trauma, anxiety, life stress, chronic health issues, identity development, and the unique intersections of neurodivergence and the Black experience. My goal is to offer a supportive and safe space where you can explore your challenges and work towards healing and empowerment.

I specialize in helping you navigate the complexities of trauma and anxiety, offering practical tools to regain control and find balance in your life. I am particularly passionate about supporting those who experience the intersecting challenges of being neurodivergent and Black, understanding how overwhelming these pressures can be. My approach is centered on helping you heal from past hurts, thrive despite challenges, and live your best life with confidence and strength.

Outside of my professional role, I value spending time with loved ones, engaging in self-care practices, and exploring new ways to foster mental and emotional well-being. I’m here to walk with you on your journey towards greater resilience and fulfillment, offering understanding and support every step of the way.

“In every crisis there is a message. Crises are nature’s way of forcing change - breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place”
