Individual Therapy for Real Life

Abstract digital art with gradient colors of purple, green, orange, and blue blending seamlessly.

Therapy at Hayden Collective isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel more at home in your own skin, less weighed down by the past, steadier in your relationships, and clearer about the decisions in front of you.

If you’ve tried therapy before and felt like nothing happened, this space is different: collaborative, flexible, and focused on real progress. We’ll check in regularly on what’s working and make changes if we’re not seeing movement.

    the voice in your head that tells you you’re “too much” or “not enough”

    Relationship struggles

    choosing partners, setting boundaries, navigating family dynamics

What Therapy Looks Like Here

  • You show up as you are. Sweatpants, sarcasm, big feelings, it’s all welcome.

  • We track progress together. Every few months we’ll pause, reflect, and adjust if something isn’t working.

  • We explore what fits. From practical skills (like DBT and ACT) to deeper insight (psychodynamic, feminist, Jungian theory), therapy is tailored to you.

What Can Change

  • Feel steadier in your relationships

  • More confidence in your choices

  • Fewer anxiety spirals and depressive lows

  • Letting go of harsh self-criticism

  • More good days—where you actually feel like yourself
