Hiya Therapy

A Healing Space Where You Showing Up Is Already Enough.

Therapy for Self-Sacrificers, Perfectionists, and People Pleasers to Feel Whole and Thrive. Find healing where you showing us is already enough. Let’s disrupt these stories of shame and self-doubt together.

Hiya (he-yah)

translates to “shame” in English from Tagalog

After many of us go through traumatic experience(s), we may feel shame to even admit it as so. Sometimes these experiences are confided with a loved one only to be invalidated by their well meaning intention.

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, allow yourself the permission to explore in a supportive space.
