Nathan Hayward - LicENSED pROFESSIONAL cOUNSELOR

My commitment is to create a space that is open, non-judgmental, genuine, and safe for you to authentically explore who you presently are, who you aspire to become, and to help you change your current life challenges into more healthy, positive, and integrated experiences. As such, all people, identities, and unique adult individuals are welcome. 

I use an integrative approach with an emphasis on mindfulness, unique strengths and values, utilizing relationships as opportunities to heal, and exploring the inter-connection between our thoughts, emotions, body, sensations, spirit, and behaviors.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in residing on the Oregon coast and also licensed to provide telehealth/video services in Colorado, Michigan, Idaho, and Arizona. I am a National Certified Counselor and I have a master's degree from Pacific University in Oregon.

In addition to my work as a therapist in my private practice, I also offer services as a mindfulness teacher including support in the practice of meditation, yoga, and living a more integrated and simple life.
