As a trauma-informed therapist, I'm passionate about helping people navigate the deep impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to carry the weight of painful experiences while trying to function in daily life.

I believe healing happens not by "fixing" people, but by reconnecting you with your inner strength and resilience.

Whether you're struggling with persistent anxiety, feelings of sadness, or the lasting effects of trauma, I will tailor each session to your unique needs and pace.

Gregory Haymon

Gregory Haymon

Therapist

Virtual • California


I have over 20 years of experience helping clients explore and navigate challenges related to relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. My approach is client-centered, meaning therapy is tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. I integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and Attachment Theory, with particular attention to how early life experiences shape our relationships with ourselves and others.

Living with anxiety, depression, or trauma can create deep feelings of isolation and hopelessness. Relationship struggles and low self-esteem often fuel fear, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm. Breaking cycles of overthinking, managing intense emotions, and facing uncomfortable people or situations can feel exhausting. When emotions feel unstable and life feels heavy, recognizing the need for change is an important first step. While change can be intimidating, having a supportive therapist can make the process feel more manageable and less isolating.

I genuinely care about my clients and strive to meet them with empathy, compassion, and respect. I have helped many individuals navigate difficult life circumstances by increasing self-awareness, strengthening emotional regulation, and reflecting on personal experiences. Together, we work to better understand the patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck or distressed.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. Feeling safe and supported is essential for healing and growth. I provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space where you can speak openly and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Pasadena

Finding couples therapists in Pasadena starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, or major life changes. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in their profiles.

In a smaller city like Pasadena, local appointment options may be more limited than in a larger metro area, and virtual care can expand your choices. Couples also need one therapist whose schedule, format, and approach work for both partners. As you compare Pasadena therapy options, look at appointment availability, whether a brief initial consultation is offered, and how each therapist describes their work with couples. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their communication style and what sessions may look like before you book.

Couples therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before your first session. Headway makes it easier to compare couples counseling in Pasadena, review therapist profiles, enter your insurance details, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
