Hi. I’m Hilary Hedden

Somatic and Attachment-focused EMDR Therapist

I know what it's like to feel trapped by your own story.

Many of my clients tell me about their fears and the weight they carry, each tale is unique yet universally human. 

I truly love deeply connecting with people and seeing them start to grasp that there are ways out of old patterns that feel like they are stuck with forever.

Move On From The Endless Loop Of “If Only’s”

I love working with individuals who are faced with new experiences or old patterns that have led them to a crossroads. And they’re seeking more than just superficial change. 

With over 15 years as a psychotherapist, I saw that people needed not just strategies but a partner in healing. 

But this isn't just about overcoming—it's about thriving. I love this work because it's where transformation unfolds. Helping you means guiding you beyond the quicksand of past traumas and limiting beliefs. 

Healing isn’t just transformative. It’s creative - bringing fulfillment, joy and fun back to life. 

My many years studying the body from a physiological perspective gives me an eye for the subtleties of how we move or don't move and how our body tells our story without saying a word. 

So you don't need to feel stuck in an endless loop of "what-ifs" and "if-only's." Instead, you get to create a life of purpose, filled with freedom, joy, genuine connection and presence.
