Hadley Heckmann, LMSW is a deeply compassionate and grounded therapist who specializes in working with teens, young adults, and adults navigating complex trauma, critical inner voices, and the long journey back to self-trust.
Whether you’re healing from childhood trauma, deconstructing harmful beliefs, exploring non-traditional relationships, or trying to quiet the part of you that says you're never enough… Hadley offers a space where every part of you is welcome. Her clients often describe feeling more accepted, more understood, and more hopeful in their work together than they’ve felt anywhere else.
Hadley brings lived experience and an unwavering belief in your capacity to grow. Therapy with Hadley feels like being gently guided through a deep, dark cave free of rushing and judgement, but accompanied by someone who’s not afraid of the terrain.
“Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”
—Pema Chödrön
Hadley’s therapy style is nonjudgmental, intuitive, and full of gentle guidance. They hold deep respect for the creative ways you've survived and want to help you reconnect with the wisdom already inside you.
Hadley brings a real-world understanding of what it’s like to feel disconnected from your body, your hope, or your sense of belonging. She is spiritually sensitive, kink-affirming, and holds space with warmth, humor, and clarity.
Outside of therapy, you’ll find Hadley sewing, dancing, cooking, or birdwatching with her cat, Bunny. She also loves spending time in nature camping and backpacking.
