Welcome! I'm Dr. Hayley Lugassy, an Educational Psychologist, speaker, and advocate for resilience and growth. My personal journey through trauma and teenage pregnancy shaped my mission: to help individuals of all ages young people, educators, and professionals embrace their potential, build self-confidence, and find strength in the face of life's challenges.
11+ Years
Of Experience
With over 11 years of experience in education, and 3 years as an Educational Psychologist, I combine professional expertise with lived experience to bring a unique perspective to my work. My passion lies in creating spaces where people feel understood and empowered to grow. For me, every conversation is an opportunity to turn adversity into strength and vulnerability into connection.
"Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed; it means the strength to rise is greater than the pain."
