I love helping people navigate anxiety and the ups and downs of everyday life—because let’s be honest, it can get a little chaotic. I aim to create a space that feels supportive, nonjudgmental, and real, where you can be yourself. Along the way, I’ll help you gain insight, build tools, and maybe even share a few laughs as you grow into the version of yourself you’re working toward.

You don't have to be in crisis to want therapy. Maybe life is mostly working, but something isn't. You might be dealing with life or work stress, relationship patterns, dating, sexual concerns, anxiety, overthinking, or simply feeling stuck and wanting something to change.

I tend to work best with people who are thoughtful, self-aware, and willing to get curious about themselves. You don't need to know exactly what is wrong or have the right words for it. "Something is bothering me" is enough. What matters more is that you're willing to look honestly at what happens, when it happens, and how you show up in it.

My style is direct, curious, collaborative, and active. We won't just talk about what happened. We'll pay attention to what comes up in session, explore the emotions, needs, and patterns underneath your reactions, and work on responding differently when it matters.

I'm neurodivergent and highly sensitive myself, and my practice is sex-positive, queer-affirming, kink-aware, and welcoming of polyamory and ENM. You don't need to censor or explain who you are here. Come curious and ready to participate. We'll figure out the rest together.

Hailey Hughes

Hailey Hughes

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I'm Hailey! I started my private practice about 5 years ago with the mission to create a safe, low-pressure therapeutic space that still offers challenge and self-reflection. I am particularly passionate about exploring the connection between trauma work and body awareness: because as we build body awareness, you may also become aware of events and emotions that have been buried for a long time. I can help you navigate these complicated feelings as they arise in a gentle way that prioritizes safety and autonomy. I love nurturing the connection between body, mind and soul. I've seen how strengthening this connection can transform the way you show up in relationships and the way you view the world. Building this connection has been a deeply personal journey for myself as well, and I'm honored to be a part of this process for my clients. The most gratifying part of my job is seeing how long-held patterns and beliefs can shift for my clients and allow them more space to breathe and honor themselves.

Lina Navar

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hello, and welcome. I believe that feeling safe, seen, respected, and accepted is an important part of the therapeutic process. I am committed to creating a welcoming environment that values and reflects diversity and inclusivity for all, and I strive to cultivate a warm supportive space where you can bring your whole self and feel free to be who you are.

I see the body as a powerful part of the healing process and a gateway to deeper self-awareness. My approach is grounded in somatic counseling psychology, with a foundation in body psychotherapy and dance movement therapy. I also draw from Kundalini yoga, Jungian dream and shadow work, mindfulness, meditation, regression therapy, ancestral healing practices, and conscious dance movement. I bring these perspectives together in a relational and intuitive approach that makes room for creativity, curiosity, and honest, straightforward guidance.

My work is holistic and integrative, honoring the connection between mind, body, heart, and spirit. When working with trauma, I draw from approaches such as Somatic Experiencing (SE), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Gestalt Parts Work, and Imagery Therapy.
