About me
I'm a licensed therapist in the state of Illinois. I have been in the field for 13 years working together with young people to better their lives. I've been honored to work with many different young people going through many different things. My clients have presented with issues such as: Depression; Anxiety/OCD; Addiction; Trauma and Abuse; Eating Disorders; Self-Injury: Bi-Polar; life transitions and many more more.
I would describe myself as an interactive therapist one who is engaged in the therapeutic process. I will play an active role in the therapy process. I would be described as a Cognitive Behavioral therapist. That means that we will review your past and present and consider how they have shaped your current patterns. Psychology Today said " Evidence has mounted that CBT can benefit numerous conditions, such as major depressive disorder, anxietydisorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and many others. Research also indicates that CBT can be delivered effectively online, in addition to face-to-face therapy sessions."
I look forward to getting to know you and work with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Meredith Hayes. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Dr Haye’s style of counselling is very effective. I feel I’ve progressed with my partner and we have come to look forward to our sessions. Our level of communication and understanding has improved significantly. We are open and committed to continuous growth and Dr Hayes facilitates this. I look forward to the future with optimism
Dr. Hayes is great at listening and validating my feelings. She offers insight into what steps I can take to feel better and is a great Help!
Easy speaking to my therapist
Talking with Dr. Hayes always is a great help throughout my week to uplift my spirits and clear my mind.
She a real one
Absolutely great and supportive therapist
Dr. Hayes is insightful and knowledgeable, good at listening and empathetic. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Supportive, understanding, and smart. A great fit for anyone motivated to better themselves and achieve their goals in mental health!
Dr. Hayes has been great. This is round 2 with her, as we decided to start up counseling again and Dr. Hayes was by far our first choice. She is a great listener and sees us as individuals. Dr. Hayes is open and honest and has built a trust within both of us to also be open and honest. We value her guidance and suggestions very much. These are the early stages of our marital repair and we are hopeful that Dr. Hayes continues to meet with us and teach us. It is our goal to obtain, retain, and utilize the tools and resources she has and is providing.
I want to take a moment and reach out to the amazing Dr Hayes. She was my love and my support when I went though the hardest time of my life. I can’t thank her enough! She was a huge huge part of my healing journey and just want to personally thank her for sticking by my side when I was at my worst! Hope you are well. Thank you for being amazing.
She’s amazing at what she does, & I feel very comfortable with her. Especially with the hard things that have plagued me.
She is very understanding
Dr. Hayes has been fantastic. I highly respect her and the way she has engaged in our marriage counseling. She is committed to seeing us solve our issues and gives us the tools and resources to assist us in this process. She has opened my eyes and continues to inspire me each week.
Dr. Hayes is easy to talk to and very warm. She provides great insight and genuinely cares for her patients. I started working with her over a year ago and it has definitely significantly helped my mental and emotional health.
Even when I’m not the most articulate, Dr. Hayes just gets me and remembers even the smallest details of our discussions so I don’t have to repeat things unnecessarily. She’s supportive, puts me at ease, and also challenges me when needed. I appreciate that God has put her in my path at a time of much change in my life.
Dr. Hayes has HONESTLY changed my life. In the year I have been talking to her I grew so much as a person and have felt constantly calm knowing that at any moment I can contact her and she will respond! She has given me so much amazing advice and in general just a great freind to have during the many tough times I have had in my life. I don't know what I would do without her....
Dr. Hayes is a very kind person. She's non judgmental and is always willing to listen. She helps her patients see other side of a problem or other solutions. She's truly a gem!
Dr. Hayes has been nothing but supportive and understanding of my personal situations and struggles. She validates me and my worries but also helps me focus on other things. She has never made me feel unreasonable or unimportant. She had really been helpful.
Dr. Hayes really listens to us it’s time to understand what’s happening from both of our perspectives. She gives excellent advice and backs it up with worksheets and activities we can do on our own. We have been very fortunate to have Dr. Hayes as our counselor and highly recommend her to any couples working through differences and difficulties, or even for healthy couples who want to be even better!
Though I’m on the other side of the world, I find Dr Hayes more accessible than someone local to me. I feel she has become to know when I’m not in a great space as she reaches out to me regularly until I respond. For me, I find that very supportive. She has given me some great tips to help me balance my busy career with my personal dramas. I have recommended teen counseling and Dr Hayes to many people.
She gets me! I really like speaking with her and listening to her help and feedback.
She's an excellent listener and provides excellent feedback when necessary.
