Hadiya Barlatier-Johnson is the founder and lead mental health collaborator at Hey, You Need Therapy (HYNT). A neurodivergent psychotherapist originally from New York City and now based in Georgia, Hadiya is licensed in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. As part of a military family, she knows what it means to adapt, start over, and find steadiness in the middle of change.

She works exclusively with adults, focusing on anxiety, depression, PTSD, and life transitions. Her approach is straightforward, collaborative, and infused with humor because therapy does not have to feel heavy to be effective. Hadiya believes in meeting people exactly where they are and creating a space where progress feels possible, personal, and real.

Every practice needs someone who keeps the wheels turning, and at Hey, You Need Therapy, that’s BayLee. Officially, she’s our Office Manager and Biller. Unofficially? She’s the Chaos Coordinator, Calendar Whisperer, and behind-the-scenes MVP. BayLee handles scheduling, billing, insurance, and just about every “Wait, who do I ask about this?” moment with warmth, humor, and a spreadsheet (or three).

Whether she’s wrangling claims or making sure your reminders go out on time, BayLee keeps our practice running so your sessions can stay focused on you. If something got done before you even realized it needed doing, that was probably BayLee.

And the best part? She can be your Girl Friday, too. Learn more about working with her here: www.maresadmin.com
