Natascha Hayes, MA, LMHC, NCC, SUDPT, Therapist in Olympia, Washington

Natascha Hayes helps adults across Washington navigate life’s most complex emotional challenges with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based care. She supports individuals from young adulthood through later life who are seeking relief from anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and the difficulties that arise during major life transitions. At LifeStance Health, she provides a steady, collaborative space where clients can understand their experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change. Natascha specializes in treating trauma-related conditions, anxiety, and depression, integrating clinical expertise with a calm, grounded presence. She tailors treatment to each individual’s goals, drawing from interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness-based approaches. Her care extends to diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals, First Responders, Military/Veterans, and Adoption/Foster Care communities, and she offers additional services beyond these areas of focus. Natascha is especially passionate about supporting individuals healing from intergenerational trauma, sexual trauma, and the lasting effects of PTSD and complex trauma. She understands how these experiences can shape identity, relationships, and the nervous system, and she works from a trauma-informed, strengths-based lens that centers safety, empowerment, and the restoration of personal agency. Her approach helps clients untangle deeply held patterns, reconnect with their values, and cultivate self-compassion as they move toward recovery. In addition to her clinical work, Natascha finds balance and inspiration through music, nature, mindfulness practices, and creative expression. These passions inform her therapeutic style, helping her infuse sessions with openness, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.
