Currently Accepting New Clients for Individual Virtual Day Time Appointments. I specialize in working with individuals and highly sensitive people to help them better manage their stress, reduce burnout and connect to their core desires. With my one-on-one approach, we will work together in developing attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that align with an increase in self-compassion and confidence. I'm committed to providing you a safe space, at my virtual practice, Haven Therapy.

Psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to engage in self and interpersonal exploration and to make meaningful connections in our lives. It is a place where together, we can navigate life’s many challenges and work to develop strength and resilience. I hope to offer a safe and supportive space in which to process, heal, and grow, and work to bring insight, awareness, and self-compassion into the therapy space. Therapy can be a space to discuss any topic, and focuses on accessing and creating resources, exploring emotions, understanding thoughts and behaviours, and aims to support overall growth.

I provide compassionate support for those who are experiencing interpersonal concerns, anxiety, exploring their sexual identity, and navigating various forms of trauma. I believe that everyone deserves to have their experiences validated and witnessed. I am passionate about empowering others, and I strive to do so by encouraging them to develop healthy boundaries and self-compassion. It is an honour and privilege to collaborate with you in reaching your goals and reconnecting with your authenticity!

I have extensive clinical training experience with a broad range of issues and treatment approaches and am comfortable with people of all cultures and orientations.

Hi, I’m Chris. Let’s create a space where you can express yourself authentically and talk about some of the things going on in your life. Through our therapeutic work we can untangle the knotted string of thoughts, emotions, and sensations that may be creating stress. There are so many factors that impact mental health and that is why I strive to provide comprehensive support for all the different aspects of you. Through the strengths you already possess and a therapeutic approach that is personally tailored to you, we can work towards managing the difficulties inherent in life and empower you to reach your full potential.

My philosophy on which I base my practice is that it is through relationship we both wound and heal. I believe the relationship formed in counseling is one of combined expertise, you as the expert on your life, and the expertise I can provide because of my training as a clinical social worker. In our work together, your goals to resolve presenting issues will be our focus. Ultimately, I would like to accompany you on your journey toward health, wholeness and healing in your life. I am currently accepting new clients.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I work with adolescences and adults, couples and families who are experiencing a wide range of issues. Life is filled with challenges, transitions and change. During these times, it is common for people to struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, and feelings of being overwhelmed, affecting them physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Are you ready to break free from the grip of anxiety, depression, or challenging family dynamics? Many people yearn for validation, understanding, and practical strategies to navigate life's complexities with resilience and grace, yet find it elusive. If you're prepared to prioritize your mental and emotional health, overcome obstacles, and embrace a more authentic and fulfilling life, rest assured, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Transition, change, and loss are all a part of life. These moments can leave us feeling isolated and disconnected. Grief is a natural response to loss, yet can feel anything but natural to those who are grieving. My approach provides space for every type of grief, including losses of not-so-loved ones and non-death losses such as job losses, end of relationships, and life transitions. The grieving process can make us feel incredibly vulnerable, and this space is designed to be a sanctuary for those to be with their grief without judgement.

Life can feel heavy and distressing at times. Whether or not this is your first time seeking therapy, I know how difficult and scary it can be to reach out for support. I strive to create a safe space where you feel comfortable, respected, and can express yourself without judgement. I have supported individuals navigating a range of concerns including anxiety, grief, life transitions, identity, procrastination, and relationships.

Feeling alone in the difficulties that we are facing in life, can lead us to believe that our challenges are insurmountable. This can result in us feeling stuck, unmotivated and hopeless about ourselves and our future. Ultimately, we all desire a sense of connection and purpose, but when our thoughts and feelings get in the way of that, our system can get overloaded. We may then begin to experience challenges in our day to day functioning and our relationships, without really understanding why, or what to do about it. My role as your therapist is to support you through increasing awarenss and to develop a plan for moving forward.

I'm Dr. Ashley Hyatt. I have worked with diverse clients in a variety of professional settings, and have experience assisting clients working through trauma, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), stress, emotion regulation, and insomnia. I value collaboration and prioritize working to empower clients to apply new skills in challenging situations so they feel confident in managing effectively. Clients can expect encouragement and troubleshooting to ensure that skill application is more impactful.

Whether you’re seeking to address persistent, lifelong concerns or the effects of new and unsettling events, psychotherapy can be a helpful tool. It offers the opportunity of establishing a deeper and more meaningful understanding of ourselves and of our personal history, and work toward more fulfilling lives and relationships. For many of us psychotherapy can mean a way out of dark places. Pursuing therapy does not mean we will never be faced with challenging moments, it means that we will show up better equipped to handle adversities and will be able to bring our best selves to the forefront.

I work with clients in tough times to make changes that bring more enjoyment and fulfillment to their lives. Life can be challenging at times, with ups and downs that make it hard to cope and move past the things that keep us stuck. My clients have met tough times, mental health issues and life stresses that can bring on anxiety, depression, overwhelm and trouble managing. In therapy we focus on bringing client strengths forward while gaining insight into difficult situations and learning strategies to improve coping and move past these challenges.
