“Hayden has been hugely instrumental for me as I go through my gender transition. I wavered for a long time about starting hormones, but starting therapy with Hayden allowed me to find the confidence and courage to do something I long wanted for myself. I knew I wanted a trans therapist, but even more than sharing parts of his identity, Hayden brings curiosity, empathy, and emotional problem-solving to all our sessions.”

“My social anxiety is pretty bad, so I was nervous to see a new therapist. Hayden made all that go away. They are very warm and just a solid human being that’s easy to talk to. They’re the best therapist I’ve had by far.”
