A. Mechelle Haywood, Psy.D.

I have had the pleasure of working at SLI for ten years. My specialty areas are trauma, preventative psychology, and supporting individuals in high-responsibility caregiving or ministry roles. As a clinical psychologist, I draw on experience working with complex trauma, stress-related disorders, and resilience-building across diverse populations. My work is grounded in helping clients understand their stories with compassion, integrate their strengths, and develop sustainable practices for emotional and spiritual well-being.
