Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience, I specialize in helping individuals process through emotional complexities like depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and personal growth.
I am committed to understanding each person's unique journey and meeting clients where they are. My approach is rooted in compassion and cultural responsiveness, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, such as building self-esteem. processing grief and loss, healing from past wounds, understanding multicultural experiences, and developing stronger and effective communication skills.
I am passionate about guiding individuals through transitions, whether they are managing social anxiety, processing relationship changes, or seeking greater self-understanding. I draw from evidence-based practices and help clients build resilience, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate self-love. My work honors the complexity of the human experience, with a focus on empowering individuals to overcome barriers, identify and work through discrimination, prejudice experiences, and know their purpose so that they can become the best version of themself.

03 · What happens next
Hattie practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Hattie's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Hattie at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Hattie is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Hattie.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
