relationship
stress can leave us feeling defeated and hopeless. My clients include children and adults overwhelmed by emotions, trauma responses, and/or dealing with

And I hold the belief, the therapeutic
relationship
is a place where life's grief, experienced traumas, and emotional pain can be explore.
The therapeutic work I practice is grounded in a respect for the capacity of individuals to intuitively know where they are, where they want to be, and their resiliency and capacity for change. Sometimes that intuitive knowing is as simple as, not where I am now, or I find myself acting in ways I told myself I wouldn't or saying things to other's that hurt me when I was young. Sometimes it can be noticing things that work in some ways but also cause distress, such as substance use, isolation, or constant need for work or movement. And knowing and striving to feel more at ease and a better sense of well-being.

Hello there, my name is Hayden Winslow, owner of Here & Now Counseling LLC. I believe therapy is the difficult but necessary work of healing ourselves. It is rewriting the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, what we’ve done, and what our place is in the world. As a clinician, I believe in the power of every individual to find the answers they have within themselves. However, my role is to hold up a mirror for you while you do so that you may see yourself more clearly.

My specialties include: Lesbian
relationship
counseling - Pre-marital, or “next-step”
relationship
counseling - Individuals facing long-term illness, terminal illness, or death of a family member - Those in transition (new parents, "empty-nesters", separation/divorce/new parental
relationship
, career change) - Grief and loss - Self-esteem - Boundaries.
If you are like many of my clients, you might be at your wits end trying to “make” a
relationship
work, or maybe you're questioning if there’s any
relationship
left to save. You might want to rekindle lost feelings or deepen the connection you already have with your
partner
or other loved one. You might feel stuck in a pattern of unfulfilling relationships. You might be desperate for a solution to ongoing conflict in your family or other relationships. You might be looking for healing, balance, and a better understanding of who you are after a big loss or other major life change.

These transitions include life changes such as entry into the work-force, career choice,
partner
choice, marriage, pregnancy, infertility, parenthood, self-development, care for aging parents, divorce, and other losses.
Experienced as a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, I believe that psychological development continues throughout life and that effective therapy is forward-looking. Therapy not only offers opportunities to relieve symptoms of distress and to recover from maladaptive patterns of functioning, but it offers chances for new beginnings. I believe that effective treatment is based on an understanding of the unique circumstances of an individual, respects the need for confidentiality, and fosters a collaborative effort that facilitates psychological development.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and
relationship
, teen and life issues for all clients ages 4 -adult.
Sometimes the strength you show is really hiding the shame and fear you are actually feeling. Difficult experiences in life like loss, grief, parenting, anxiety, depression or trauma might be why you need help, but giving yourself permission to ask feels overwhelming and impossible. Maybe you are the parent of a struggling child or adolescent who just cannot seem to find their way through anxiety and depression. Perhaps you are a teen wondering why life has to be so hard. Maybe the trauma of your past has taken up residence in your present. No matter what you are facing, You do not have to do it alone.

I have over 15 years of experience working with
couples
, depression, anxiety, and a wide variety of mental health challenges.
The past few years have seen rapid changes in the way we work, spend our time, and go about our daily lives. Perhaps like many, these last few years have worn you down considerably and negatively impacted your mental well-being. Seeking therapeutic services for the first time can feel like an overwhelming task. Maybe there were challenges prior to the pandemic, or recently things have become more intensified in your life due to a variety of factors. I offer free consultations for all potential clients as an opportunity to meet me, have your questions answered, and see if I can be helpful with what you are most needing support with.

My ideal clients are everyday people in which something has surfaced in their lives, usually from the past, and now is the time for you to deal with it. This surface could be from past trauma, unforgiveness, or simply the need for change. Some struggle with low self-esteem, identity formation, or a lack of trust in establishing relationships. So, surround yourself with folks that fill your cup, and I will assist you in identifying aspects of your life that you would like to change, or better understand. We set goals, roll up our sleeves and work toward desired outcomes. Sessions are 1 hour (individual), or 1 hour/20 min. (
couples
).

Life can be SO hard, but it can get better! Struggling with life or a

couples
struggling to stay together and find themselves drifting apart. I also work with parenting issues and teen life struggles. My office is a SAFE place to work through the issues of life that get us all down! Let's start!

"How is change accomplished?" then we might be a good fit for counseling together. I help my clients identify the 'opportunities for change' in their life, as well as identify the difficulties and obstacles keeping them from achieving the success and fulfillment they desire. If you are ready to resolve difficult issues in your life, I offer a safe place for you to carry out this important work.

Our lives have gotten really complicated and busy. Sometimes we are put into situations that we just don't have enough information to handle well. There is no manual for being human. There is no one right way of doing things. Coming to therapy is simply seeking feedback, support, and a different perspective from someone who is educated and trained on human behavior and relationships and who can help you find the answers and strategies to live bravely through life's struggles. I see clients from the ages of 5 and up. I work with children, adolescents, teens, and adults. I see individuals and
couples
.

I work with children, adolescents, adults,
couples
and families.
What I like most about what I do is having the opportunity to share in the process of people accomplishing their therapeutic goals and seeing them make positive changes in their lives. I strive to create an environment which feels safe and supportive to my clients. I often use a cognitive behavioral approach. However, my approach is dependent on what is most effective for the client.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
