Embrace the messiness and heal through it.

Hayley Nixon McCord, Licensed Professional Counselor

Hayley Nixon McCord’s deep curiosity about humans, combined with her personal commitment to growth led her down the path to a healing profession. The sacred connection between client and therapist is vital to Hayley’s approach and not something she takes lightly; attachment patterns can actively be reworked in the therapeutic relationship.

Hayley works from a psychodynamic lens with an emotion-focused approach. Her style is direct and typically casual over clinical. You will likely become accustomed to the phrases "nervous system", "regulation/dysregulation" and "co-regulation" in your work with Hayley as she believes our somatic experiences provide incredible insight into stuck points and approaches to healing in individual and relational therapy. Hayley admires the bravery in practicing vulnerability with another being, and considers the invitation into her clients' experiences a phenomenal privilege. Hayley is open-minded, committed to her own anti-racist and cultural humility work, and LGBTQ+ affirming. She is humbled by the opportunity to see and know you in your work together.
