Hedera is an integrative psychotherapy practice founded by Ivy Askew, LCSW, for adults struggling with anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt, burnout, relationship patterns, emotional overwhelm, and feeling disconnected from themselves. We work especially with high-functioning adults who may look capable and successful on the outside while feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of step on the inside. You may already understand *why* you feel the way you do. You may have read the books, listened to the podcasts, and know intellectually what you need to do differently—but still find yourself repeating the same patterns. Insight is important, but insight alone doesn’t always create change. At Hedera, therapy is about building the tools and capacity to turn self-awareness into meaningful action, helping you get unstuck and create lasting change in the way you think, feel, relate, and move through your life. Our approach is warm, collaborative, holistic, and trauma-informed. We draw from EMDR, Parts Work, attachment-based therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and body-based approaches to help clients understand the deeper patterns and nervous-system responses that shape their experiences. Yoga and embodied practices may also be integrated into therapy when helpful, reflecting Ivy’s background as a yoga teacher and her belief in the powerful connection between mind and body. **At Hedera, we believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical:** a place where you can feel deeply understood while also learning new ways to respond, relate, and move forward. Our goal isn’t simply to help you function better—it’s to help you feel more grounded, connected, authentic, and at home in your own life. Founded by Ivy, Hedera is growing a thoughtful team of clinicians who share a commitment to integrative, individualized care and to helping clients create change that extends beyond the therapy room.

She was thoughtful, patient and smart. I particularly loved her nonjudgmental nature.

NEVerified patient

Ivy is a rare blend of highly insightful, empathetic and analytical. She objectively helped me look at my patterns that were holding me back and created a plan with me towards change. The weekly sessions gave me stability and helped me implement these changes into my actual day to day life. She is patient and down to earth and always made me feel like there was space to share my feelings. I felt like I could open up and really talk to her and feel understood. I highly recommend to anyone looking for extra support and guidance in any area of their lives.
